Mac users - be aware
| What *would* be a big deal would be if Macs were
| getting "driveby downloads" -- attacks like the
| Flash bug at Yahoo this past week. Maybe Macs
| do get them. I don't know. But I'm not aware of
| any. On Windows with script/Flash/Acrobat enabled
| it's a constant, real risk.

| That doesn't seem to be the case.
No, not by a longshot. The driveby install is
passive and usually requires nothing more than
enabling script. What they're describing requires
actually choosing to install software.
