Default Warning...

Paul Schlyter:
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.


This is a myth. Are you saying that hackers and virus authors have no
interest in attacking people like these

As for "mainstream, I think that Unix is in sufficiently wide use to be
considered a mainstream OS. In its various guises it is certainly the
target of more attacks than MS OS's.
