Anyone who follows even the barest security news knows how vulnerable OS X is.
I use both platforms, I don't use an anti-virus on either because I follow a few guidelines.
- don't use the system native browser (not hard, both IE and Safari are awful)
- keep personal documents on an external drive, accessible only when you need them
- don't download random crap from dubious sources (ie, torrents, pirated software, etc)
Been about 6 years since I last got infected by crap. The most insecure part of a computer system exists in front of the keyboard. There is almost no way to guard against human gullibility or stupidity.
Apple being crappy at support - is anyone actually surprised?
