That is true. So we're told. And certainly for a major office setup you shouldn't take any chances. Particularly in regards to hackers. But I've never read about OSX systems being attacked or virus infections. The only mac viruses I'm aware of are related to OS9 & earlier. It was an off the cuff remark that generally mac users don't need to be so wary. And you're right about mac softw. We pay just as much for the top apps & there's less competition & choice. But how long could a totally unprotected windows user expect to last before a virus/other affects their machine if they utilise the net a lot.
