The article is good, but as John Gruber points out on Daring Fireball, we have been hearing this same noise about malware coming for nearly a decade. Mac's are not impervious, but these articles feel like someone checking off the yearly to-do list.

Ed Bott is a total Microsoft evangelist and not very kind towards Apple, so I always take these FUD articles with a grain of salt. Total link bait.
