[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1011947"] I do not understand this question. It's like asking "if there is no cheese, is there a way to get better gas mileage?" Yes. This is the reason. A combination of a superior base (UNIX), plus a security-conscious design from the get-go (Apple's contribution), plus user-level protections (admin level that can't be defeated, obscuring of root, no autorun etc). This part is a myth, always was but has recently been re-proven to be a myth by the septupling of Apple's user base over the last half-decade or so. There are many millions more people using Macs now than ever before, billions if you count the iPod Touch and iPhone as Mac OS X devices (and they are, so they should count). Yet still not one virus. Nuff said. [/QUOTE]
