If you seriously have a problem getting virii, you shouldn’t be able talking about how bad one is versus the others. I’ve been torrenting for 5 years and still haven’t caught anything.

If you really need to run a piece of sketchy software, just do it in a VM.

The only real problem I have against OSX is the price tag on new Macs.

Here’s the way I see it: Apple is good where it applies itself.
-Portable devices – there is a reason iStuff dominates the market
-Laptops/Notebooks – They tried to create a simple user experience and more or less succeeded, however the hardware side is sometimes flaky
-Servers – do yourself a favor and don’t even consider buying a server from apple. Biggest. waste. of. money. ever

I hate how lots of people hate macs, but have used them for a total of 10 minutes. My fried was a really big winblows user. After 5 days of having a macbook, he thought that winblows and mac were equal.

Sure winblows runs all of your crappy directx games, but crossover, wine, or parallels can run them also. There are a lot of really great games and software for mac, also.

My mac (which is 3 years old now) does not have any viruses, still boots and logs in in under 33 seconds, and still feels like it came yesterday.

My winblows xp ( which i reinstalled it 5 months ago due to a magnetic screwdriver) takes about 2 min to boot up, takes 2 virus scanners to keep it safe, and is really slow if i dont defragment its hard drive once every month.

Now you may think im a jerk and not following my little steps up top, but i am. I have been using winblows for over 8 years, twice as long as my mac usage.

Mac and linux( and other Unix like systems) are the safest and best oses. Winblows is so bloated, xp was over 1.4 gb and vista was over 14!
Most full blows linux distros are less than 700 mb, my media pc runs either a 210 mb one(slax) or a 50 mb one(dsn).

Why is it that people who can learn much more complicated things than SIMPLE English words not understand the major difference between THEN and THAN?

after numerous failures, i discovered that you can’t buy one of these now unless you’re a business with a federal tax id.

WTF????

Dell honestly doesn’t want to sell me a computer.
