Story: A worm belies Apple's perfection

This story speak so many lies its unbelievable.
What is the point in writing a root kit for Mac OS X,
in order to install a root kit, you need to access to the Mac, and by having that you'll proberly have root access to the Mac anyway, so whats the point.
Besides even if you do install the 'Opener' root kit, you wouldnt be able to control the Mac OS X from a PC anyway! The network protocols are different.
And to the other issue. A rootkit is not a Virus! It doesnt replicate or do damage to the system.
Anyway point made.
