If you have a Mac you no longer have to worry about viruses. There aren't any for the Mac.
Nice answer. Wrong question.
I was asking how you or I getting a Mac reduces the headache of unpatched-windoze boxes out there that drag down the net with DOS attacks, spam, etc.

That's so dead-pan, it's hilarious.
