I am the last one to say that OS X is unbreakable, and I am sure that 90% of
the people here would agree with my opinion.
But one thing I am sure of is that OS X is way more secure the Windows.
There are many different reasons for that The small user base is one, but
the underlying UNIX architecture has something to do with it as well don't
you think so? I don't have to run spyware or a virus scan software, which is
not true for Windows users...
