why windows and not mac?

[fordly56]

since so many computers in the world run windows, i can understand why the creeps write the viruses, malware, and spyware focused on windows. but now that all the kids who wrecked so many windows computers have now switched to mac. why then, do the mac computers still stay imune to the crap??

And mac's aren't immune, they have a different set of vulnerabilities and weren't targets of interest.

That has changed with the increase of up take by business users.

Yeah. That and MacBook sales have been astronomical the past few years. Also, some analyst groups that calculate market share include iPads in Apple's market share. I wouldn't, but some do.

Well the ipads are popular with the no computer crowd in business, and were slow to get enterprise concerns addressed.
