as a consumer, what matters to me and what's most important is my experience when using the OS.... using mac os x is simply stress free, whereas using windows is super stressful with all the vulnerabilities n stuff... i feel more secure using mac os x, and i believe other fellow mac users would attest to this smile.gif

Thats mainly because 98% of the world's computer are Windows based. Everyone wants a piece of the pie because anyone who get the initiative to do that will be an instant millionaire.

Anyway, for any virus maker to create virus for an Mac Os X is equivalent to finding a pin in the haystack. In other words, the virus makers would give up before it achieves any results. I don't know why up till now, people still can't grasp this simple principle.

Its the user base that attracts virus makers and those "legal" ones who tested it against Mac Os X are in no way comparable. Its called marketing gimmick.

wah , really ? 98% of the world's computer are Windows based ? Then where to put UNIX-based ? Linux-based? BSD-based? Mac ? huhu

thats not included yet OS in mainframe ? SuperComputer ? workstation ? desktop ?

confused with that figure ,dude

for your information , ppl whom created OS other than Windows is not only for money, money and money ,dude

they do it for mankind and it have continuous on-going research and development , they want something more kick than windows .

People have choice to switch to Mac, Linux, UnIX or or any closed-source OS (i think the only closed-source OS in this world = Windows) whistling.gif

Security are already embedded in all OS , but user/sysadmin should play their role to secure it ...

regarding what u said as "marketing gimmick" , IMHO , Apple already have their own strategic plan to make their product as casual ...not being nerdie or daddy-o ...

I respect what MS do with their own market advertisement , and so do Apple .

But what to do..i'm already switched tongue.gif
