"Do you think Apple should start following Microsoft's model by rating vulnerabilities and patches?"

What is there to rate? As much as what Symantec and other anti-virus sellers out there says, there hasn't been any report of macs getting infected by a virus.

If you know one then post your claim here:
Mac OS X Viruses: Put Up or Shut Up (part 1)
"All, right, I'm sick of people reporting that Mac OS X is 'mostly' virus-free. It is, as far has been proven, ENTIRELY virus-free. Macs are not magical, and one day there will be virus that infects them. However, I don't think it's happened yet, and I think it's time we, the Mac community, started saying, "No, we don't have any viruses." "

"That's why there have been hundreds of widely publicized Solaris and MacOS X vulnerabilities for which there are no actual exploits and therefore no victims."
