If this is what you meant, John, his statement:

"Secondly and possibly even more glaringly, there is no antivirus 
program shipped with the Mac.  In today’s climate of non-stop worms, 
trojans and viruses, releasing a computer with no virus removal software 
is irresponsible on the part of Apple."

...is enough for me.
Sounds like a Windows geek, required to write at least SOMEthing about 
the new Mini, and this is part of his ill-informed observation.

Part of his conclusion:

"When I consider that a good deal of my time is spent running 
applications like Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update 
and Ad-Aware--none of which are available for the Mac platform--it 
doesn't make sense for me to "switch" to a Mac at this time. "

...was the clincher.
What a nerd! He compared crippled Windows' needs to what a Mac needs, 
which is NONE of all that malarky.
This guy is the wrong one to have comment on any Apple Mac product.

Oh yeah, this is just my most humble opinion, too...
