ask steve job..cant wait for his answer

about time.

This shows 2 things:

1. OSX and IOS user base is growing tremendously.

2. Being BSD base doesn't make it impregnable, its the other way around. Clueless Mac users live under the impression that because its BSD base, hence its 100% secure.

Malware coders and organization attack platform which gives Return on Investment on their effort to code the malwares.
Hence, targeting a platform with the most user base in the modus operandi.

he'll always compare to windows. just like our government always did. supporting their decision of increasing the price of something by giving comparison to other country, such as our southern neighbour.

You've come a long way, baby!

Apple patched Mac OS, but hackers move one step ahead. Apple now in need of Anti-Virus to fight the Malware.

The 17 inch Macbook cost RM7,699, even the 15 inch one cost RM5,499
but a 17 inch Windows notebook cost only about RM3,000 (Toshiba, Dell).
So this is a big different in price.
We can install Linux on Windows notebook (dual boot), use Linux when connect to internet then no need to worry about virus, botnet hijack attack....etc

Ahh you can install Linux OS on a windows laptop. But unless you are a Linux expert, else you have to deal with a lot of inconvenience

Well, Linux now very easy to setup. They also has a wide support on hardware. Even newbie can do it, believe me~

what makes you think that Linux is any better than the security of Mac and Windows?
Sure, up to this point, it's malware proof, but there's tons of Linux rootkit around.

To make a statement, use this OS instead of this OS because this OS is secure, is very naive, very very naive indeed.

Agreed.........every OS has its vulnerabilities. It depends whether someone willing to create a program to exploit that

wow! Linux has rootkit...I didn't know about that.
Few years ago, I install FreeBSD on my desktop and use it to surf internet, newsgroup posting...etc
At first it was fine but later it became slow/sluggish...now think back ....it must be infected with Linux rootkit.

At least we learn here that technology will not make us stay safe on the internet. In the end, it is the user behavior that determines their own safety.
