It's true. It's not just that we have it good as Mac users. Most
Windows users don't realize how bad *they* have it.
For now at least, there are *no* viruses (as in "zero") that infect OS X.
(At least not any verifiable ones in the wild.) There is also no spyware
that can be installed on a Macintosh remotely via the Web or via e-mail.
However, there are over 100,000 Windows viruses!!!

Over 91% of computers running Windows are infected with Spyware!!!
