When enough people switch then you can start making money off the crap that is targeted to a Mac. It ain’t special.

I am going to repeat my question from earlier in the thread. When will there be enough people who have switched, 99.9% of whom go bare naked without any anti-malware software on their Macs, before we start getting those hackers writing the malware for the 110 million vulnerable Macs out there in the wild? When? We've been told what you just told me for 18 years and it hasn't happened yet and there have been hackers who have tried to write self-replicating, self-transmitting, self-installing malware for Macs during that time and every single one of them has failed miserably to be successful. So, exactly how many will it takes before all these generally more wealthy, more vulnerable exposed Mac users become targets of these crooked hackers? When? How many will it take?

30% of the computers in California right now are Macs.

We keep asking and all we get from you smug prognosticators, who don't use a Mac and have never tried to write malware for it, and who always claim the "Mac ain't special", is crickets. So step up and explain when will it become attractive for these miscreants? We are getting tired of both waiting and your predictions.
