McAfee Warning about Mac Malware

Interestingly, McAfee has decided to warn us all about the probability of malware appearing for OS X in the near future. McAfee has apparently put out a whitepaper called "The New Apple of Malware's Eye." The Register implies that the McAfee's whitepaper is pretty much a hollow justification for their new VirusScan product for Mac on Intel, but there's actually some good data about the growth of Mac vulnerabilities in the paper. Anyway, it's 6 pages, so it's minimal time invested, and it's a very interesting read.
