So far in its existence (3 years in the case of Mac OS X Server), Mac OS X & Mac OS X Server have not had one remote root exploit, worm or a virus reported.

Mac OSX has been a released product for 3 years?!? Face it: The reason that few exploits, worms, or virii have been reported (obviously, holes do exist, whether you like to admit it or not: all software is porous) is that almost nobody -- including most hackers -- use Mac OSX. It's a dying platform.

Yes the root core of Mac OS X, Darwin, has been around for 3 years as an Apple product. Actually the underpinnings of Mac OS X come from NeXT which has been around since the early 90s. NeXT is the OS developed by Steve Jobs after he left Apple in the 80s.

A dying platform? That is why most major computer publications are giving Mac OS X the thumbs up over Windows XP. Speaking of XP, how lame can Microsoft get? Talk about an absolute flop! I would rather have the rock solid core of UNIX under my GUI than the hacked together garbage that Windows provides.
