The Sophos guy makes a valid point. For us, switching to a Mac might be disconcerting, but if you don't know computers...well?
Yeah, but you have to keep in mind that this is a tactic that will work only as long as most people don't use it. If enough people switch to Macs, Macs will start getting exploited. Personally, I won't be surprised if we see a major attack against Macs sometime in the next couple years. Really, how long is it going to be before someone realizes that there are all these computers just sitting out there waiting to be compromised? And then all these geniuses who think they're secure because they're running Macs will be out there on the Net distributing trojans and such just the same as they are now.
