So you say there is absolutely no validity to the article? The fact is that the enterprise presence of the Macintosh is usually for those folks in graphic design and audio post production. So in turn security community does not perform the rigorous auditing that most mainstream products enjoy is complete FUD? I don't think running Macintosh is a huge security liability but to completely discredit the author because he is being critical of the Macintosh security perspective is just overzealous vendor bias.

It should be taken into account that how secure a system is can be measured in a variety of ways and it is completely up to individual interpretation. I could consider Windows to be the most secure OS because it is the most heavily attacked and audited environment. However you could take the viewpoint that OS X is more secure because nobody really tries to break into it.
