It is extremely relevant
All your friends and family (that's what, your Mom and your dog?) don't add up to a statistically significant number in the 600 million or so computer users.

This is extremely relevant to me and my family!!

Again, even if you're immune so far, you're still being attacked. Since the Mac is never attacked, it's more secure.

As long as my system is able to fend off the attack with absolutely no intervention on my part, the number of attacks is really not relevant. What is relevant is how long it takes me to run Windows only software. While I just install the program and run it, Mac zealots everywhere have to scramble with Parallels, pay for a Windows license, keep 2 OSs up to date, and maybe even have to reboot into their Windows partition just to use their software. Or are those millions of Mac users who were dancing in the streets at the release of Bootcamp and Parallels not "statistically significant"?
