Microsoft's Mac Virus
Well of course the big danger is running Microsoft software
on any platform.

Going back and digging around to find a Macintosh virus is
going back to the now long dead prior MacOS.

OSX has no such operating system vulnerabilities. Of
course, if you run Microsoft Office you do have Office
macro vulnerabilities.

It's quite clear where the holes are, and where the
cascading vulnerabilities of Microsoft dominance causes
instability in the Internet for all of us.

Lest I seem eager for crackers to exploit the holes in
Microsoft products, I do hope that Microsoft is successful in
the "bounty" they have put on crackers heads.

Put some script kiddies in jail, or fine their parents a few
thousand dollars, and thus get the attention of other
delinquents, is something that works towards the greater
good.
