Nobody as in a solid 8-10% of the US market?

my point exactly.

> this was just nobody looked because it wasn't that popular to look

do you have a rebuttal to that?

>my point exactly.

Point being what? You said "nobody" (of course implying very small number) and it's 10%, which is tens of millions of people. Not only that, but it's the most lucrative 10% of the US computer-buying population. So, the "nobody" point is already taken down.

>> this was just nobody looked because it wasn't that popular to look > do you have a rebuttal to that?

That's an even worse argument. Not only the user base is large enough, but Apple news (including Mac news) receive close, or often even more publicity than Windows developments (especially any negative news). Besides there are lots of decade+ spanning cases like that on Windows side too, which, you'd have to agree, is not an unpopular platform.

The reason it went undetected all these years is already revealed in TFA: "it infected a very small number of victims".
