OS X was cored on BSD. For a long, long time BSD had a reputation for being the most secure pc operating system "out of the box." Whether that was by virtue of being on the non-popular side of things, or because it was an inherently secure design would have to be left open to somebody with more experience that me. Either way, though, you can't argue with security, by no matter of origin.
Given that BSD was a unix distro it wasn't exactly a plug-and-play design, so out of the box is kind of a misnomer. In any case, it remains to be an incredibly stable, secure distribution.
All that, and I think that saying that people that "know anything" about computers choose not to use Apples is kind of naive. They certainly have their place in the world... just because it's not the popular office desktop or gaming platform doesn't really mean that they're completely useless.

When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.
