Apple stop attacking windows?

Do you really think that market share is the only thing keeping hackers from creating virus for mac?

It's hard for me to believe that there is not one single hacker in the world who would look past the number of people they could infect and just create a virus for mac to prove that they are as vulnerable.

 

LOL indeed, but windows users never understand that, they're always saying linux/osx gets hacked less because of the lower market share even though APACHE linux/osx webservers are the big majority.

 

lol aside from the other great replies....its basically Apple has focused it efforts towards its mobile devices sans mac portables; mainly iPhone & iPhone OS; iPad & 'iPad OS'.
Which stands on their own without having to be stood up for.

 

I saw a good analogy somewhere:

Windows is like a house with barred windows in rough neighbourhood.
OS X is like a house with open windows in the countryside.

I think in the next few years we will see things change. Apple undoubtedly will gain a greater market share. Also since the antitrust suits against microsoft, it seems that apple seem to be the more 'evil' organisation these days.

 

There are some absolutely vicious DNS changer viruses out there for Macs, but you don't really see them very often. I assume that in coming years we will see an uptick in the number of viruses tailored to Macs.

 

Those aren't viruses, but trojans. (Yes, that really makes a difference.)

 

PC World compares Win 7 and OS X, and OS X comes out on top...

 

Apple haven't released any new ads to attack windows because they blew their advertisement budget on iPhone and soon iPad ads. Besides, a dead horse is a dead horse.

 

How exactly does one get a file such as that? Pirated software? I ask because a friend of mine had one on her MBA.

 

it's true! :
