Interesting that Linux is not mentioned as an alternative, although I suspect that it is about as immune as MAC OSX - anyone with more insight care to comment?

And what about worms, Trojans and viruses that affect MS Office? Do these affect Office on the MAC?

As one who has had to install the basic version of MS Office I dread the answer to that question!
I also have to use IE on my Mac to access one website and one website only, am I in danger there too?
