1195438 2011-04-20 00:22:00 I had a conversation with AVG yesterday about how Apple has convinced the public that their devices aren't vulnerable to all manner of attacks. He reckoned Macs were the easiest for hackers to crack. Siobhan Keogh (16063)
1195439 2011-04-20 02:17:00 couldn't a programmer buy a mac in the states, make their own malicious program to infect their own mac and then sue for false advertising?

This would work especially well since most viruses require the 'user' to make the mistake, i.e. giving the program elevated privileges.

I'm liking the sounds of ChromeOS though!
