I think McAfee, Symantec, et.al. are all licking their chops at a new 
venue to hawk their products. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're 
at least indirectly behind some of the "research" into those 
vulnerabilities.

MAC users are also part of this problem, IMHO .. they're an elitist 
group that thinks their trendy little toy is immune to everything. Add 
to that MAC is built on UNIX, something your average art student knows 
even less about than Windows, and an operating system that's a lot more 
fun to tamper with once you're in.
