There's also a lower risk of virus infections.

LOL, yeah sure.

The amusing vulnerability in Apple's OS X that grants administrator-level access to anyone who asks is being exploited in the wild by malware.

Anyone logged in to a vulnerable OS X Mac, or any software running on it, can use the security hole to gain the same privileges as the powerful root user, meaning they can install new programs, change files, remove or add new users, wreck the system, and so on, at will.
