Me too!! People - check your sources!
OS X is certainly not invulnerable, but it's not nearly as easy a target as a windows box regardless of marketshare.
For those not familiar, os x asks for your administrative password any time a major system change is about to occur. So even if a hacker was to exploit, say, a safari bug and execute code they can only do as much damage as you have priveleges for (which can be pretty bad, but not erase-your-whole-computer or infect-the-boot-blocks bad).
