This final paragraph is interesting:

While this vulnerability applies to both Mac and Windows machines, Apple has done a remarkable job introducing security holes in the Windows version of Safari that are not present in the version designed to run on Macs.

Of course many of the fanboys who pitched in last time will just blame the user again for being “stupid”.
