I too have been considering going the Mac route for myself or my children.
I have heard folks opine that with that with a Windows box you get way, way more than twice the susceptibility to viruses, worms, trojans and other major headaches.
Anyone out there care to offer a reasoned opinion about how they compare in the security dimension? Windows OS's do seem to be as leaky a sieve when it comes to security holes. How do Macs compare?
