> Macs constitute such a comparatively small share of the consumer market that the economics of an attack against them just don't make sense.
Is this really true though? Wouldn't they, on average, have way more disposable income than the average windows user? I'm thinking something along the lines of the Pareto principle in conjunction with your disposable income being correlated with owning a mac.
Good point -- I suppose that comes down to the real numbers. However, that probably only makes a difference for certain kinds of attack: it's probably not worth botnetting Macs.
