Don't get me wrong, I really like some of the features that OSX has, its just that the reality of computing is the user makes the decisions.

What does this have to do with anything I've said?

..there are people that will still click on the button to install the virus after they've been warned not to several times?

Of course, but that applies to everything, not just OS X. So his last statement doesn't really mean anything.

I was simply stating some things I do personally, and I was admiring how detailed and unobtrusive the way Mac OS X handles downloaded files and applications.
