He's saying more than that. He's saying Apple's security measures don't even compare to Microsoft's. According to him, Apple hasn't taken security seriously until about 6 months ago, mostly because they didn't have to since Apple's market share is so low.
Here's a graph from ArsTechnica on some recent market share numbers: http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2010/01/while-pc-market-rebounds-apple-slips-into-5th-place-in-us.ars
Apple makes up a little over 7% of the US PC market share, so it's not a big target for hackers. Which has always been what people have been saying, but people don't usually say MS is better about security. And even with Apple's US PC Market Share around 7% , Apple still commands about 35% of operating income:http://www.macworld.com/article/150051/2010/03/apple_profit.html?lsrc=rss_main
No big deal really, and I'm just curious but what makes you like your macbook so much you're willing to pay so much for it?
