Read what I quoted below, and show how the above quote follows from it.
http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2009/01/29/the-mac-malware-myth/
If RoughlyDrafted posted an article claiming the sky is blue, I wouldn't
believe it until I looked for myself.
It's pretty decent actually. The Turfers from Microsoft sling mud at it because
of the message.
Be that as it may, I didn't find it to be "decent" at all.
"For more than a half decade, the Windows-enraptured tech media has been
banging on a drum about the imminent arrival of Mac viruses. As proof of
this coming wave, they always cite researchers employed by anti-virus
vendors who recount vulnerabilities found in Mac OS X or occasionally
trojan horse malware designed to dupe Mac users into manually installing
software that intentionally causes problems."
This is hardly "people hitting themselves with hammers." These are the
same experts that are supposed to be believed when they warn about
Windows vulnerabilities.
