Would cure the virus problem - but I am a die hard Mac head mind

Not if you want the kind of thing I heard of a month or so back.

Methinks the move to Intel has made the virus writers job that much easier, or the conversion to Mac that much smoother. The only difference is going to be the API's now.

When will Mac users realize it is a big old dirty world out there and the only thing Macs had (viruswise) was difference, &/or market share. It ain't nearly as true any more.
