People like you do not understand what Apple's "security through obscurity" message - just because no one cared as much about you to hack your Mac does not mean you are secure.

Microsoft have survived all those viruses and its only making their OS more secure

Now iphones from apple have jailbreaking software to access its app illegally, this is what happens when companies procrastinate

And there are jailbreaking software for Windows Mobile and Android phones. Practically all phones on the market has pirated jailbroken version in China. iPhone isn't the only one with jailbreaking software.

I could be wrong, but I think he was getting at something else. I think the point is that when Apple makes a product that a lot of people actually like and use, not just 7.5% of the US PC market, it gets hacked into quite easily. Security through obscurity means that if hackers gave as much attention to hacking Max OSX as they do Windows, Apple might be seen as more insecure, or maybe equally insecure by even the Apple fanatics.
