I think that this statement a very brave one and I think that it is easily debated it is one thing to state that Mac is vunerable but to state it is at the same security level as Windows is laughable I would never think of running windows with out several types of security software. But with Mac and basic user security precautions you can keep it free from malware without antimalware and virus software and in all the time I have used OSX and Linux I have never run virus software at all and have never been infected. And even with the Virus software running in windows and all my good habits I have been infected in windows especially the ones that take over windows own security heart to get users to "Purchase security sortware" only to be handing over there creditcard details.
