>>And I challenge anyone to show me a virus that will take down Tiger-OSX 10.4.5 on a MAC...
OSX/Inqtana.A is a Java based proof of concept bluetooth worm that affects OSX 10.4 (Tiger) systems that have not been patched against vulnerability CAN-2005-1333
Mac OS X Tiger Virus Malware Widgets
A developer has programmed evil widgets that can do nasty things. The problem with the Dashboard widget model is the "auto-install" that makes it difficult to get rid of the ones that have already run from a web-page. This opens the door to porn spammer and spyware type widgets that will always be on the Dashboard to bother you. Nasty.
"Virus: 'Mac/Cowhand-A'
Name: Leap.A, aka Oompa-Loompa Virus
>>So many people dislike Macs, you would think one would focus more on their demise...

>>I have been in the Mac BIZ for years and have never had one need fixin because of a Virus...
When your market share is less than 2%, that's not much of a feat. Talk to us when (and if) you hit 50% market share.
But lets not turn this into a Mac OS war. Personally, I'd like to see Unix with the look and feel of some of Mac and some of Windows.
