My goal was more to encourage users to be mindful when they use computers / the Internet, regardless of what OS they are on. But yes, to support my point I did aim some jabs at the OS that many consumers consider most safe, including the parent I quote in the post. But I in no way am trying to condemn Apple, just to say an OS can never be a full replacement for caution.

Also, with reference to your quote, the FileVault protection mentioned there in recently started storing passwords in plain-text, kind of supporting my claim even more :) http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Apple-OS-X-Lion-Update-Exp...

Thanks for the feedback.
