[QUOTE="Tomel, post: 1225634, member: 198918"] The OP asked if anyone could point him to an article with a technical explanation for why Mac users are not subject to viruses in the same way as Windows users. I think it is understood that the overwhelmingly large number of Windows users must be one reason. However, instead of making educated guesses, IS there a technical article or a study that has looked into this issue in a systematic manner? As someone new to the Mac world, I also would like to better understand the differences that apparently make the Mac platform safer with respect to computer viruses. [/QUOTE]
