Not at all.
I will quote you
I'm far safer because I refuse to install any software made by Apple. Luckily,
since Apple makes almost no software (and the little bit that it does is second rate
anyway), I'm really not that deprived

The claim that Apple software is insecure, in an article about a Microsoft Zero
Day Exploit is an attempt to blame Apple. When in fact it's the third rate MS
software that is to blame. But being you're a windows Zealot, you feel
obligated to twist this into an Apple problem. Laff is indeed correct, the majority
of pre OS X viruses were word/excel macro viruses. Guess who writes word and
excel? Microsoft! They are the ones that can't write good code, but you
know that. It's your NBM membership that pushes you to blame everyone but
Microsoft.
