"Daines was browsing the Web when he clicked on a series of links that promised pictures of an unreleased update to his computer's operating system. Instead, a window opened on the screen and strange commands ran as if the machine was under the control of someone - or something - else. Daines was the victim of a computer virus. Such headaches are hardly unusual on PCs running Windows. Daines, however, was using a Mac - a machine often touted as being immune to such risks." Remember boys and girls, this story is published on MSNBC.

IMO, any OS in the hands if a technical idiot is going to open itself up to viruses and other problems. A growing userbase for Apple is sure to attract more virus/spyware writers. Average users that dont know how to keep a computer secure is only going to make things worse.
