Sorry Robin but your glee at the supposed massive vulnerability of the MAC OS is starting to sound like you have shares in Microsoft all I am saying is to say that MAC OS is as ricketity as Microsoft's Security is a long bow to pull.
Yes it runs as a user and doesn't need admin rights unless you count the fact that the user needs to actually enable it and APPLE cant be held responsible for the user not thinking before they hit the ok button (if they took away too much choice from the user they would be attacked for taking too much freedom from the user) anything that is asking for Credit Card details without being initiated by the user should be enough to give pause to anyone.
I am a big fan of Windows 7 but not of Microsoft's care and concern for its customers it took them ages to realise that they shouldn't be selling security solutions for the OS (ONE CARE) but should have it built in or atleast supplied free (MSE). I am not into leaning massively to one side or the other I prefer the Middle Path to enlightenment. But I also don't let myself be dragged into supporting one brand over another blindly. Except maybe in the case of HOLDEN v FORD but even there the head says they are almost identical but the HEART SCREAMS HOLDEN
.
And if you fall back to the I didn't read the article defence I have read the others you linked to previously but not this one as I believe that most media tend to beat up a story and can make anything look like whatever they want you just have to look at the recent media concerning the Solar flare LOOK OUT NASA warns there will massive disruptions but when you go to the NASA story it says they haven't seen anything like it since 2005 hardly out of the average persons memory.

Your post does not give this impression and the amount of smilie faces shown at the fact that MAC OS has got this infection belies your above statement
