Experts say these low numbers, and the unlikelihood that Apple's share will ever account for much higher than the low double digits, is one reason why the Mac will remain relatively safe. These days, they say, viruses are written more for money than fame.



Low percent does not mean low numbers.

We've already exceeded 1 Billion desktops...and it's growing.

10 percent of that is one hundred million (100,000,000).

1 *percent* of it is 10 million.


10 million represents a whole lot of midsized businesses.
