Not so!
<"...largely on the premise of less virus/worms attacks is pure bunk! No OS is <perfectly secure. A properly configured and hardened system whether it be a PC <or Mac will be pretty secure for most people..."
Hey, let's face it, people use computers the way they do. That's the way it is. And whether or not virus writers can target Mac as easily as Windoze, they don't.
So if you're a normal user, you just don't get viruses and worms on the Mac and you don't have to go through all the security hoops you have to for Windoze. That's the way it is.
This may change by the time Mac market share increases to the point where Macs become attractive targets for virus writers - but then none of us, least of all you, believe that will ever happen - at least not in the projected lifetime of your new computer.
Live with it.
