A well mantained OS won't take two minutes for it to start, and even then, hibernation tends to shorten that dramatically anyway. Macs aren't really secure from infection. It's like saying a business is secure because no one has robbed it. Once it happens, it will happen badly. In fact Mac OS X has been breached quite easily already.
I understand this point of view from a person not very familiar with Macs. I have several PC:s and Macs in my company.
1) OSX does not need "maintaining". However, a windows machine without maintaining is a ticking time bomb.
2) Macs are not even in the same universe PC, when talking about viruses. There are only a few viruses on OSX, and most of those are old models, not working with newer operating systems. Besides, many of these so-called-viruses on Mac are in fact trojans. Decease because of the stupidity of the user.
A Windows machine without a Virusblocker software is -dead-.
3) OSX is a very secure operating system compared to Windows. There's just no way around it.
4) I'm sad that Apple took the "Macs are not for gaming."-stance. Macs were great for games back in the 80's. But then they decided to upgrade their image in the eyes of businesses...

I haven't used antivirus software for years. Maybe you stop using your public torrents if you are so afraid of sporkeh.
Well... Congratulations! Good for you! And what a clever picture you found!

Seriously. If you run a Windows machine without a virus software... Nevermind. <_<
Sadly, we have to take materials from our customers, and they come in many forms. Since we also use PC:s in my company, we HAVE TO use virus software. We get about 4 pcs of infected materials / month.
Our Macs do not have those problems. Luckily.
