MS & Security Companies dream of corrupt OS X

Mac OS X is being targeted because Vista is about to be released. Microsoft is scared, it knows its operating system sucks, but instead of making theirs better, they are hoping to make the Mac OS X look bad.

The fact is Malware & Viruses exist and have destroyed many a PC.

There are very few PC users online today who have not had gotten a virus.

The fact is there is no Malware or Viruses for the Mac OS X.

There are no Mac users online today that have experienced a virus on Mac OS X... ever. This may change someday, and perhaps it has, but it still leaves the majority of us untouched.

Almost every person for a PC. None, or virtually none for the Mac.

The majority of people aren't into computers enough to realize that all these "flaws" security firms find are completely different from the actual viruses that bring down systems for Windows XP. And the fact that most PC owners have enjoyed a virus, while mac users remain untouched.

Security companies have vested interested in getting people scared, to sell anti-virus programs.
