Yes, not the best analogy
Yes, I must admit my analogy was not the best, even though the point I was trying to make was that bank => large target [many users] while house => small target [few users]. It's the amount of return you get for the same effort put in to expoit the flaw, that was my point. And that assuming that one is never attacked that therefore it was secure. There are something like 48 TIMES as many Windows clients out there as Mac clients, each one potentially with credit card numbers, bank records, etc ready for the picking (bank vs house, large return vs small).

Love,
Peter
