The only one reaching for anyone's wallet...
...is Symantec, trying to shake some money loose from n00bs
for their crappy products with scare tactics and FUD.

I'll believe there's Mac OS X malware to worry about when it's
actually in the wild, not just a 'proof of concept' in some
Symantec test lab.

It makes perfect sense, though-- now that Microsoft has
antivirus and antispyware software coming for Windows,
Symantec has to find greener ($$$) pastures. They're looking at
all the people buying Mac minis to escape Windows malware the
same way a carny looks at a town full of hicks.
