Any of You Get One of These?

@ Tynk:
Another benefit for OS X users is that there are a lot less virusses/trojans/keyloggers made for that OS.

Yup, and as the userbase of the OS grows (and it is) so will the virus/trojan/keylogger base. The larger the userbase, the bigger the profits by exploiting it, the more exploits you will find.

Just as Mozilla is a secure browser compared to IE, this will (actually has) change drastically as Mozilla gains market share.

I don't think you understood my statement. I was talking about the amount of virusses available for OS X right now, not about possible future developments.

The idea that Macs are "safer" than PCs because virii / hacks / whatever are not often directly targeted to the Mac OS is a basic example of Security through Obscurity / Minority.

It is often regarded as a very bad and very dangerous method of security. Time to get your head out of the sand and realize just because you're running ______ OS you're safe and don't have to worry about threats.

You can scrap the 'security through obscurity' because that's something quite different.
Nobody said that OS X was safe, it's just that momentarily it's safer than Windows [insert version].

And for what it's worth: I'm a Windows user by the way, not an Apple fanboy.
