That's not true.

OSX does not ship with Apache/PHP running!

If it was running "from the day (you) bought" it, that's because YOU turned it ON while exploring your new machine!

Besides, its pretty d#*n hard to exploit PHP if you don't actually have PHP scripts in your docroot... And Apple absolutely does not ship OS X with any PHP scripts active.
