Not at all...

... as a number of my colleagues here will vouch, I have been concerned about this day coming. In fact, recently I had an experience with a Mac-based virus coming through my email but I stopped it.

Software is limited in its ability to secure the OS and our identities. For my part, I am extra cautious. A lot of folks are not. This will not be fun.

The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) has developed the hardware schema to protect the OS and my identity. Heck, even Dell is now deploying hardware-based secure machines. This is one time the Mac has lagged. Agreed because it was not a vulnerable platform. It is now vulnerable and Jobs will be playing catch up.
