I would actually say five years, of course you could throw in NeXTSTEP as well. Hard to take it serious when it hasn't happened yet, all the while any programmer that wants to create exploits knows that whoever does it first for OS X will gain a lot of fame.

Regardless, the "the sky is falling" crowd are trying to basically pimp security products (i.e. Symantec, now that they are facing a lot of competition in the Windows/PC market, are trying to hold onto areas where they are still competitive).

This article is a lot more balanced than most other articles along this line.

I could easily create a Mac virus. But the fact of the matter is that I'd get sued into oblivion for even talking about it -- so it just isn't worth the time and trouble.
