On the security issue, sure windows may be less secure generally than Mac OSX (which is a unix kernel if I am not mistaken) however if the same number of virus writers turned their attentions to Mac os as they do to windows then Mac Os would probably need patched as well, as it is its not worth hitting Mac's with a virus because there are not enough to make a difference... imagine spamming microsoft with say 10,000 requests, 100,000, 1,000,000 or say even 10,000,000... not a lot compared to the number of PC you can hit becuase their users will click on an attatchment that comes in, what is the current ratio of mac's to Windows machines, I am willing to bet that the market share of windows computers is greater than Mac OS computers, say 95-98 / 5-2 ...
