No, a virus, by definition, is any program that replicates itself, has nothing to do with "spreading"

It's going to be interesting to see how Apple does with someone else as the face of Apple during his leave. I'm hard pressed to think of another CEO who personified the company like Jobs has. Certainly Bill Gates didn't. The only one I can think of is Jack Welch with GE but it wasn't nearly the same. Welch was a great leader where Jobs IS Apple in most people's eyes.

Did you actually read what I said or just click the link and decided to act like a tool? The Virus was able to spread (although that is not the definition of a virus), but it has been patched, it just wasn't able to spread on INTEL Macs. And if you believe that is the only virus ever made for a Mac, then you are sadly mistaken. I posted it as an example of Mac viruses using programs other then email and internet browser to infect computers and even talked about another virus that infects through OpenOffice. There are plenty of viruses on Macs, they just don't spread easily and most of the have already been patched.
Seriously, take off your blinders. Macs are not impervious to viruses. If you were to use an internet browser and email client other then IE or outlook on XP (such as Firefox or Opera), then you are just as protected from viruses as you are on a Mac.
Although it's already been established your a Mac fanboy, so I don't really expect anything other then Macs are the greatest thing since individually wrapped slices of cheese from you.
