Did you know that there were vulnerabilities in Mac OS X where by someone could actually get root access to you system? After 6 months or more of complaining, Apple finally decided to address some of these issues.

Source please. I'm not aware of any remote root exploits for Mac OS X, and certainly not one that was known and unpatched for 6 months.

CERT's a good place to start. The problem with Apple's answers on CERT is that APPLE will usually say: "does not effect us"-- which is complete bull, thereby highlighting their own ignornace. The Apple folk just don't know UNIX.
