I want the best for Apple, but if everyone buys Macs, malware is going to proliferate on our platform.

If OS X was as easy to compromise as Windows, the malware would exist. The people who sell the B1gg3r D1k cream don't really care what platform their spam spewing zombies run on.

I want the best for Apple, but if everyone buys Macs, malware is going to proliferate on our platform. So what do you think is the magic number that will suddenly attract all of these really skilled UNIX programmers who want to ruin the Mac?
We are at 30,000,000 and growing by eight million plus a year... and the Mac malware, other than a few Trojans, hasn't appeared yet.
Aristotle, security by obscurity is not the reason Macs are harder to break... they are harder. It's mostly about a lack of vectors for anything to spread.
