I read the same article on another site, something of note, one of the security guys they talk to is Dino Zovi, the guy who took the macbook at last years pwn to own contest in minutes commenting he went after the mac 'cause it was the easiest of the three'. At this years contest the mac again was taken first by a wide margin over vista and linux. After the mac was taken, Zovi was quoted 'completely game over' regarding Vista security. Perhaps next years contest will be different if this report ends up being true. Time will tell.
One thing to learn from those contests and real world, macs who have nearly zero problem in the real world get taken first when money is involved and linux and windows are harder to crack. Of course out in the wild only windows users have much to worry about. Perhaps the next few months or so will get interesting for Vista users...or maybe not.
