mike,
You have some good points. I went back and did some research. I will start
with my own summary and add some references at the end.
1. At CanSecWest, they started with a MacBook connected to an open Wi-Fi

How did he say
Not true. From Cnet.
The successful attack on the second and final day of the contest required a
conference organizer to surf to a malicious Web site using Safari on the
MacBook--a type of attack familiar to Windows users.
Nothing was downloaded to the machine and run, indeed this exact attack

I don't know if that is the single biggest security flaw, but it is
certainly in the top ten.
Your simple math would get you one of those sub-prime mortgages. I know
many people buying Macs, but very few of them plan to run Windows.
Those who do run Windows only run it for some precious Windows only
application.

before anyone else. Much easier to do when you control the hardware and

How did he say apple was pushing them? Pushing them to do what?
Windows has traditionally had bolted-on security that is easily weakened
by the user. That results in many vulnerable computers that are
basically there for the taking. Mac OS X has the benefits of security
designed in at all levels (from freeBSD). These people are evil, but
not stupid.
