Story: The Apple of Symantec's eye
"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." "
