New APPLE MAC Ads Stir Up MAC Security Overreaction

(From Mac Daily News.com)

"The latest round of APPLE ads aimed at convincing consumers to drop their WINDOWS PCs and join the millions of people happily using MACS kicked off this week,"
ARIK HESSELDAHL
writes for BUSINESSWEEK.

"Naturally, this campaign -- especially the virus-themed spot -- served as the starting gun for another round of the endless debates in computer-security circles over how secure the MAC actually is. So far, it has been pretty smooth sailing with a few minor hiccups that caused little or no damage."

Hesseldahl rightly takes THE SANS INSTITUTE to task for ludicrously describing Apple's MAC OS X "reputation for offering a bulletproof alternative to Windows is in tatters" and calls the press reports "misguided."
