More than 20,000 recorded viruses for the wintel environment vs less than 100 for mac... Ill take your annoyance over putting my helpdesk on suicide watch any day?

LOL. Agreed.

Interesting, do you have anything to back that up with?

Unix is more widely used than the old Mac OS, therefore probably more widely targeted.

But there is no proven relationship between the use of an OS and the number of worms. UNIX has had a larger share than MACOS for years and yet it is less likely to have a virus.

Sometimes a better architecture can handle any extra publicity..
