"The only thing which has kept Mac OS X relatively safe up until now is the fact that the market share is significantly lower than that of Microsoft Windows or the more common UNIX platforms.
If this situation was to change, in my opinion, things could be a lot worse on Mac OS X than they currently are on other operating systems, regarding security vulnerabilities," said Archibald. So, using all the lopic their brains can contain, Windows supporters conclude that it wouldn't be wise to use OS X today because it might be less safe untold years from now.
Then, Windows supporters apparently assume that Apple will code its OS in a vacuum as it becomes more popular and, as OS X starts to receive more and more attacks, Apple will steadfastly refuse to adjust and modify its policies and procedures.

See, it's trollish responses like that that cause people to view Mac users as zealots as opposed to someone who just likes another flavor.
Not all Windows users are stupid. Not all Mac users are smart. Some Mac users even check for typos on their posts. :)

Bzzzzzzzz! Thank you for playing, but, no, that's not what people are saying here. They're simply saying that Apple's safety rests on the fact that it hasn't been the subject of hack attacks. Not some kind of imaginary security advantage.
