@jorjitop,
"With the history of Microsoft and malware, they kind of owe it to their customers to look after them."
Apple doesn't?
"If this becomes a pervasive problem for Apple, I am sure that they will provide solutions. Their history of supporting their customers is rather better than that of Microsoft."
If Apple waits for malware to become a problem, they will suffer the same fate as Microsoft. There is a lot of speculation on why OS X hasn't seen the number of malware attacks as Windows. However, the latest pwn2own contest had MacBook/Safari combo falling first. I won't say that this means OS X is any less secure then Windows, but it certainly isn't invulnerable.
"It is interesting, Ed, you seem to be writing more stories about Apple than Microsoft these days. Have you got nothing good to say about Microsoft, so you feel the need to spread bad news about Apple?"
Fair enough. I think the forums in general could be come a better place without stoking some flame wars. However, Ed is certainly not the only guy on ZDNet that does this.
