if that were even remotely true we would see more apple computers out there than pcs.it seems to be doubly hard to take criticism in this particular area.some call it fanboyism.me i dont know,except no one wants to be told that something they paid good money for and are really proud of is crap.people seem to buy apple and pc for a variety of reasons,but the bottom line here seems to be that apple has been just slightly complacent about the security of their os.if any apple users can take any joy in this it would probably be that if the hackers are paying this much attention to apple products,they must be getting more popular and widely used.personally i wouldnt pay the kind of money they want for what you get.not denegrating apple users in the least but what this particular forumn comes down to is opinion.i just expressed mine.
