Well, I finally gave in to a longstanding curiosity and purchased my first Apple computer a couple of months ago. I now agree, as any Mac owner will tell you: Once you go Mac you can’t go back.
Sadly, I ran the machine for about a month before I thought “Crap, I haven’t seen any virus scanning or firewall software running on my new computer. Surely, a trial of some sort would have been pre-installed, or the sales guy would have at least tried to sell me something …” I frantically looked for some sort of installed security software but couldn’t find anything. When I began searching the web for Mac security software, I found that while such software is available, there are no known viruses that can affect the Mac OS-X operating system! The only reason Mac owners would consider buying security software for a Mac would be to avoid accidentally forwarding Windows viruses to our poor, disadvantaged PC friends. 
Honestly though, the laptop rocks. It is feather-weight at roughly 3 lbs, has a fantastic screen and back-lit keyboard that both adjust according to lighting conditions, a built-in web cam, 5 hour battery life, and easy to use operating system. The hard drive is only 80GB, but with the recent movement towards online storage I am OK with it. The collection of i-Applications are extensive and quite integrated and in many cases integrate with the ever-growing list of popular web-based applications I am now using. With a duo-core processor and 2GB of memory, the Macbook Air zips along pretty good as well.
