Hi, I'm a Mac, and I don't have any security problems because I don't have any customers. No one bothers to write exploits for me. I'm so lonely... So lonely.... Stupid PCs...

Shame on me?! They started it! I seriously don't think Apple should be taking shots at Vista security in their ads. The reason that Mac users don't experience security problems really is because their userbase is too small to be of interest to organized crime. Apple doesn't understand how to deal with these kinds of problems; their security engineering is terrible. Microsoft has invested a huge amount of resources into this and presently they are way, way more sophisticated at it. Its really amateurish for Apple to sit on the sidelines and throw stones. If you're curious about Apple security read this presentation.
