Everybody has this problem.

I'm not disputing that. I recognize that local exploits are a problem for every vendor. HOWEVER, given that OS X users seem to think that they're immune to attack, it's good to take a moment to realize that writing a virus for OS X that exploits privilege escalation to grab root wouldn't be all that difficult.

Only the stupid ones. I've always said an OS X virus will eventually be found in the wild. But people switching from Windows at 10.2 (first good stable version) would have enjoyed almost four years of virus-free operation by now. There are probably a few more years before the Mac virus problem becomes severe enough (if it ever does) to be a significant cost to any business as it is with Windows boxes now. Not bad, huh?
