---- Apple's OS X weakness announced

The report I read on Y! was basically FUD from Gartner and other sources - probably worried that if everyone switches to OSX they'll lose their market for anti-virus s/w.

The only un-patched, known vulnerabilities in OSX apply to _local_ users. ie. people who already have an account on your Mac!

If you look at Linux security advisories you'll also see a few hundred - but nothing in the wild. Think of them as commentaries on problems that you'll never have to experience, unlike certain other platforms ;)
