Oh lookie, more utter crap from an anti-Apple nutter. What a non-surprse.  :o\

Nobody write malware for those other operating systems because they are
are used by even less people than the Mac OS.

As for WINE, it's useless, unless you're lucky enough to want to use the
half dozen applications it barely works with.

I doubt there is ANY malware for "MAC".

Macs on the other hand have virtually no malware, and the very little
there (supposedly) is can only be installed by brainless idiots visiting
porn and "warez" websites ... so they get what they deserve.

Despite the claims of the anti-malware sellers (there's a surprise!), I
have yet to find ANY proof of ANYONE getting malware on their Mac through
normal, sensible use.
