What's nice about it? There are no Mac OS X threats (other than
clueless PC users, careless programmers and a behemoth in Redmond that
can spend many months creating a single critical patch.) None, Jon. No
malware of any consequence for OS X.


People who are religious zealots about their favourite computers are
amusing -- up to a point....

The reason there are relatively few threats to OS X is that it has
fairly few users. If it should become a mainstream OS, then it
would be just as intensely targeted by virus authors as Windows is
today.
