"The less traveled road has less hazards... blah blah blah" -- Hypponen needs to take a look at the difference between Mac OS and Mac OS X architecture before making claims of malware in the 80's versus malware today. How many *BSD virii are there? Hmmm...

This article falls back to the same argument for the past decade -- what's more secure, closed or open source? The answer varies depending on who you ask. It's safe to say that most geeks prefer to be [self-]informed, or in some cases allowed a chance to apply a fix without having to wait for a vendor to decide if a fix is cost effective today.
