Let's see...
- OSX server was released March 16, 1999,
- OSXbeta version of the desktop was released September 13, 2000
- OSX.0 "Cheetah", the final desktop version was released March 21, 2001.
That means that OSX has been out there and the hackers have been "testing" those back doors for six years... or five years for the beta... or four and a half years for the desktop version.
SEVEN MONTHS AFTER OSX was released, Microsoft released Windows XP on Ocotober 25, 2001.
So, JustAnother, the hackers have had seven months more to develop and test the back doors in OSX than they have had on XP... yet they have yet to exploit any.

Security firm Secunia warned on Tuesday that a flaw rated as "extremely critical" has been found in Firefox 1.0.6. The flaw can only be exploited on Unix or Linux based environments and can be fixed by upgrading to Firefox 1.0.7.
