Now please explain why those non-windows machine are safe if a user approves an action while using an account with admin access?

Glad to! An ".exe" or ".com" or the equivalent MicroShiite executable can not run on a 'nix environment. The Operating System is totally different and the calls to various libraries, drivers, video prompts, or 'doze-specific files will go exactly nowhere.

Like attempting to run an OS/2 proggie on any different system, it simply is not possible.

I’m sure he knows that. The point is that if they targeted macs it would end up with the same results. The reason they don’t bother is because of the tiny userbase compared to Windows.

Os2 has a myriad of vulnerabolities. If I can get you to click on a lin ok I can own your mac.

Wine?

The whole concept of making files executable based on the filename is so incredibly lame. People have been paying for this one decision of microsoft for decades now.

Linux and Apple are far superior tech.
