If companies and security people ever get wind of this they'll start buying Macs and the gig will be up.

Bullpucky. The coolness of MacOS X is that it's designed around FreeBSD... an OS designed with basic security as part of the architecture. Linux has a very similar architecture and still runs the vast majority of websites the world over, and we've only had three worms and no real viruses in 12 years of Open Source-ness. Try though they might, they'll not get us easily.

Oh, and here's the other reason they won't get us. When a vulnerability comes up in OS X or Linux or even Solaris, it gets fixed. RFN. No waiting around until next month. No hiding behind low severity labels. Fixed. Done. Kaputt. All of the three Linux worms had patches available at least a month before the worm showed up in the wild.

Naah. Let'em come. Do your worst, Skript Kiddie. Watch my firewall squash you like the bug that you are.
