Show organizers offered a Sony Vaio, Fujitsu U810 and the MacBook as prizes, saying that they could be won by anybody at the show who could find a way to hack into each of them and read the contents of a file on the system, using a previously undisclosed "0day" attack.

The first one to get compromised was the Mac! Last years winner was caused by Apple software as well.

To be taken with a pinch of salt, but i do think Apple are riding the "Apple is safe from attacks" wave a bit to much these days.
 
So mac is riding on that idea, and it is a fair comment, but if everyone goes to mac then they'll have the same problem as windows.

As true as that is, both the Linux and Vista machine remaided uncompromised in the 2nd day!
Microsoft have done extremly well in locking down IE in Vista (as painfull as it is to give praise to MS!), it was only until Flash was installed that it lost out.
