Actually - I don't believe that it has anything to do with the compromised security of the Mac. In over 13 years of using Macs I have never once had an infection, virus, or any sort of trojan infect my computers. This isn't to say that a p2p network couldn't allow someone access to my hard drive, and that was the issue that I wanted to clarify, but no one has ever discovered a virus infecting the Mac system. It's just a fact that they are safer in that regard.

And this is said not to disparage the PC or open the PC vs Mac floodgates of emotion that runs so high in some folks, but just to wonder if simply signing on to limewire (or any p2p) allows unrestricted access to malicious individuals or are there restrictions built into the sw that should prevent this from happening?
