Ok fanboy - 17.6% of the smaller market does not constitute a huge market for someone trying to create havoc or steal information, or be annoying, etc. I am well aware of the article that you linked, but how many viruses have you seen on PC's lately that require no interaction? That's not how most viruses are written anyway. If apple can ever get a large share of the market, they will have as many problems - and who cares if they can't make a self replicating virus - all that has to happen is let your 10 year old kid on your computer for 10 minutes, he hits "ok" when the virus asks him to, and it's off and running.
Oh..and "hacking a mac?" That's just the same as rooting a linux/unix server, which happens every day. In windows, os-x, os/2, bsd, etc..security is only as good as the users. The reasons macs don't get "hacked" as often is because there arent as many of them.
