This is BS.
Macafee has about as much clue and product quality as the burnouts they hire in radio shack. Apple has a Unix underpinning which means if set up correctly virus code won't propegate. Windows is much easier because permissions aren't handled correctly among other massive security holes. Apple uses BSD under the hood which doesn't have these issues from the ground up. Sure there could be holes but there will be no where near as many as there are in Microsoft products. Start at the kernel and work your way back.:) More important though, mind your info sources. Macafee really is the laughing stock of the information security world. Remember Intel bought them for a very small bit of code they can add to their chips. The rest will probably be spun off to suckers or shut down. If you're really interested in security products and good opinion check out Sourcefire, Juniper Networks or on the software side check out Metasploit.
