You keep bringing up an irrelevant differentiator, trying to recategorize things, in order to keep your flawed theory alive.

Question: Does the Mac have a high-enough population to attract the efforts of malware writers, thus eliminating claims of “security by obscurity”?

Answer: Absolutely yes. Even smaller populations have attracted them.

I think we are done on this.

I asked you to post one virus that was wide-spread to a smaller user base that required user intervention. You have failed to do so, instead you posted a self-replicating worm which would be lucrative since it is so easy to do if you have a known exploit that will allow it self replicate.

I guess by your logic Windows 7 is rock solid and even better than OS X since it hasn’t had a self replicating worm and has a larger install base.
