Which is it? None, or thousands?
> bragging about the "thousands of worms and viruses > that exist for it".
Dude - He is neither bragging nor claiming that there are thousands of Mac virus'/worms - I'm not quite sure how you read that?

He was just saying that Macs are as vulnerable as Windows (which may or may not be true) but that they aren?t exploited as much because of the tiny user base.

However, when using those exploits that do exist, the system can be compromised by a malicious user quickly and easily|
