Exactly! The hackers so far showed relatively no interest in Apple due to their miniscule marketshare.

Miniscule Market Share = 33,000,000 Mac OS X users.

And the fact they have already exploited OSX Leopard shows it isn’t some superior OS that is flawless like Apple wants people to believe.

Please provide us poor deluded Mac users the real, in the wild exploits, not mere vulnerabilities, that are plaguing Mac users today. Name them. Proof-of-concept viruses and trojans that exist only in a Security Company lab are not in the wild.

I'm gonna have to make this into a "rubber stamp" comment that I can post on command:

• 99% - The percentage of Macs that are completely devoid of anti-virus software, and which are operated by users possessing limited technical computer knowledge, running with "administrator" privilege (the default).

• 30,000,000 - The number of Mac OS-X computers in active use.

• 50,000 - The number of compromised computers required to build a successful and lucrative botnet.

• 600 - The number of 50K-node botnets possible with 30,000,000 vulnerable Macs.

• 0 - The actual number of such botnets in existence.

If I were a virus writer, I would target the Mac. Why? it's a totally open field, no competition from other virus writers, no protective anti-virus software, nearly every user is non-technical yet runs with full admin priv.

So I say to the FUD-spewing Win-trolls: WHERE ARE THE MAC BOTNETS???

Exploits or vulnerabilitys, you’re quibbling with semantics here. Even with vulnerabilities, you’d think Apple would scrap OSX Leopard and go back to the drawing board until there are no vulnerabilities, and think twice before releasing basically a beta version.
