The Motley Fool captures the zeit geist of the moment in writing that "I'd be surprised if Symantec ever sells a single product to a single Mac user again." Earlier this week, the company loosed a barrage of security FUD and the faithful have worked themselves into a right-royal lather over the transgression.

It's not that OS X is perfect or that we will always enjoy our current immunity to malware—sooner or later this ride will end. It's more the case that Symantec opened fire (ie [M]any of the people who bought Apple products were not concerned about security, which left them wide open to attack.) without any ammunition.

Though the company once stabled a range of Mac-compatible products, including the category-defining Norton Utilities, today finds them with a single, forlorn offering—Norton Anti-Virus—for which they will find no market.

Is this so much ado about nothing or does Symantec need to show a little humility? What's your take?
