Consider the source!
Look, please look into the source, your quote from the ZDnet
article was from Greg Day who is working for McAfee, the
antivirus software maker. That can't take it as expert opinion
as you wanted it to be.(I'm not discrediting his expertise, okay?)
But his remarks was being critized as trying to sell their own
product, did you know that?

Why don't you read this one:
http://www.newsfactor.com/story.xhtml?story_id=43170

where Andrew Jaquith, an analyst at the Yankee Group, called
the McAfee report "sloppily written and sloppy in its use of
statistics." It is, he said, "a speculative house of cards resting on
a foundation of shaky statistics and questionable
assumptions."

Then read this security expert who take a test to switch from PC
to Mac and document his own experience. (this is already a year
old and he's using a old Powerbook, but that is a real life
experience. His switch was completely based on security
issue of Windows.

Try to keep it civilise, don't call people uninform while you're
only believe an "expert" who have so many financial interest has
to say.
