Exactly. Because I know (I don't know who are you, but I'm a former system programmer with 10 years experience BTW) that both system (Mac OS X and Windows) are vulnerable to trojans (not viruses, but trojans) absolutely in a same way (technically). However, Mas OS X users are never use anti-malware software and basically (yes that's true) they are less educated in computer security things than "paranoid" Windows users. This is why Mac OS X is more vulnerable than Windows. I know nothingh about you, but I'm reading some specific news almost daily and know that Mac OS X users are absolutely unprotected against trojans (old shit like OSX.Trojan.iServices and new currently spreading ones).

P.S. I'm using both Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.5.8 (haven't upgraded it for 10.6 for some serious reasons) and I know what I'm talking about.
