That's funny, I thought that lack of malware was the biggest proof that
Mac's marketshare is too small for hackers to give a damn. It can't be
that OSX is invulnerable, considering that since January Apple has had
to issue Security Updates each and every month just like Microsoft.
And these Security Updates fix things like buffer overflows, ability to
run arbitrary code, privilege escalation, denial of service, bypassing
of mime type safety checks, ability to obtain root access, and on and
on.

Oh, and "Windoze"? Did you make that up yourself? How clever. You
must be in Mensa.
