how did that previously placed malicious application get placed on the MAc without the user's knowledge??? That's trivially easy to do on a Windows box...

I think you'd probably admit in retrospect that was a broad generality that isn't accurate or justified.

I will retract it because that is no longer the case. WindowsXP since service pack 2 has been FAR better at avoiding drive by downloads. Let's just say that for-q is an irritating *#^%*@ and using his own hyperbole against him might be slightly justifiable.
