Besides pointing out what eveyrone in the mac community knows theres this one paragraph thats pretty funny.



[quote]Thinking of switching



In the meantime, Schneier said he was thinking of switching from Windows to the Macintosh platform because of all the security issues. "My wife has a Mac and she doesn't worry about viruses, trojans, leaks..., " he said.



A Consumer Reports survey last year found that virus infection rates on Macs are half what they are on Windows, noted Smith. "Is that because Macs are safer? I think the answer is yeah."<hr></blockquote>

    I have about 20 different viruses in the windows desktop. And none of them can be cleaned by the latest virus software. With Mac, i dun even need to bother scanning for viruses.



    Wonder if mac users increases, would there be more viruses??? If so, that would be very bad!

    A good friend of mine, and a much better programer than myself, mentioned an interesting analogy the other day:



    Boeing 747: About 1 million parts, thousands of flights (millions of hours), and an excellent service record.



    Windows XP: About 1 million lines of code, millions of hours of use, and a lackluster service record.
