I have been running OS X machines since then with no Anti Virus software since then with no infections. I just hope jim is correct in his assertions.

I've never had one (well, I did once via a floppy on a Mac SE well over a decade ago). I use CP and have anti-virus but don't see what the fuss is all about. Except stupid people, they need to be saved from themselves. BTW: Jim's statements were mis-characterized above. Makes for good copy.

Does it (Vista) run the the computer as well (I have to say I like the MS PDA commercial)? This claim sounds a bit like you don't need Word anymore because you already have Notepad and how don't need Photoshop or Gimp any longer because now you have Paint. Probably a nice feature for the average home user, so they have some protection, but I guess the rest of us will still use an extra version that can be customized and you actually understand and can decide on what it is doing.
