Welcome to the Wonderful World of Worms, Viruses and Spyware

That's right Apple users, now you, too can know the joy of virus scanning and spyware thanks to the new Boot Camp beta software announced Wednesday. In case you haven't heard, this will allow users of the newiMac 17-inch 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo to boot Windows XP. It also now makes your Apple vulnerable to all of the malicious spyware, adware, worms and viruses that previously were only a plague for Windows users.

Hackers every where are drinking a toasts to Boot Camp tonight. My guess is the people over at McAfee probably aren't too disappointed either.
