More secure doesn't mean impervious to attack...

Really? You say that as if you have made a second monumental discovery. (The first being that hackers are trying to hack the Mac.) You may continue to argue with your imaginary generic Mac user, but I have never claimed that Macs are impervious to anything. What, then, is exactly the source of your anger? Are you mad that none of your sources "in the field" have been able to launch the kind of weekly assault on the Mac that they have been able to inflict on Windows? I have no problem believing that hackers are going after the Mac. How do you think Apple and the Mac community will respond? Do the sources in the field think that they will launch ONE attack so massive that they will damage Apple forever? We've seen the kind of things these guys are capable of doing. (Windows has a history.) But people recover, systems get repaired. Your whole premise seems to be that hackers are hoppin' mad at Apple, but it wasn't always that way. This is something new. The hacker community was simply ignoring the Mac platform, they were ambivalent, but that TV commercial was the last straw!
