Security through obscurity
Exactly -- ANY computer can be compromised, the question is whether or not it is worth the hacker's time to figure out how to do so. The higher up on the radar an OS is, the more likely it will be targeted. The recent exploits uncovered in the "bulletproof" Mac just proves my point -- security through obscurity is not really security at all, is it?
