I agree. Not all but some are Wink

I know some people that are using MAC notebooks because of their elegant design and multi-media capabilities, however, many recent Apple users just run a Fusion program so it essentially windows in any case.
The application provider end of things (servers, cloud computing etc) is 99% powered by virtualised windows, with the exception of network application appliances such as firewalls IPS probes etc, these tend to run a version of Linux as the hardened OS.
I like Apple but not particularly for the business software. As regards to virus, there is a rise in the number of Apple specific viruses and Apple is now pushing AV software. Email frauds are likely to catch out either user.

Email frauds will catch the gullible irrespective of whatever computer they are using.

I know many many people who simply use and like using their Macs because they just want to get on and do something. True..some people might use Fusion but then the OS is essentially retarded back to Microsoft along with all the crud, viruses etc that goes along with PCs.

Would all Third Party Apologists kindly mind their own business .....
