Apple takes a while to respond to anything, and there will be
consequences.
15 years ago, incidents of Mac virus problems were more common than PC.
Apple did almost nothing about it, but the situation eventually reversed.
There will be eventually be a resurgence of virus problems on Macs even if
Apple does do the right things.
how so? Mac OS X is based on linux...so if viruses came back for macs
wouldn't that mean that they also were coming out for linux as well which I
don't think will ever happen due to how it's structured security wise?
