Why we buy Macs. Watch.

Wow, I was just making a joke. Don't be so uptight.

I'm not uptight, I just have a different way of having fun.

Maybe you won't know you've been hit by Confiker because nothing will appear out of the ordinary, but it will silently record your password keystrokes and user names when you access bank accounts/credit card accounts, and just quietly relay them onto some massive illegal database for later use. I'm just glad it doesn't run on a Mac. But... it does run on most of the business computers that store our data, whether we use Windows or not. That's the problem. I'm wondering when a major class-action lawsuit against Microsoft for negligence will be filed by big business and government agencies, not to mention all the citizens who have been harmed and ripped off. That would be interesting.

Especially when they reminded everyone that they released a patch for the bug that's exploited here months ago, well before the worm existed, and that you basically have to be running as local admin all the time (against their recommendation for business) to pick up a local infection...

Yeah there's a lot Microsoft have to answer for in general and in security in particular, but I'm not really sure that its entirely down to them if users are negligent.

How's it any different than Apple Software Update?

It's not.
