ROTFL, dumbasses.
Agree. That old "because nobody uses Macs is why they are safe" (and it's 'Mac' not 'MAC' people!!!!) is tired and flawed.

So many loosers, so few wrenches and screwdrivers. By the way, just randomly choose between there, their, and they're when you type a post.

Tired maybe but Flawed no.

The "hackers" that exploit Windows that cause spyware, virii problems do so to make money. They DO NOT do it for publicity. The last thing they want is to sit on David Letterman and explain how they did it.

They want cold hard cash and such will ignore Mac's until it becomes profitable.

 Mac Is Nothing...

But a piece of UNDER-PERFORMING and OVERPRICED computer hardware with an OS that also has full of hidden exploits but less hackers/crackers exploiting them due to the very low percentage of users with Macs on the computing world... Hell even my cheapo Intel Core 2 E6300 with 2GB of DDR2-667 Memory and a nvidia 7900gtx on WinXP SP2 can outperform the Macs for 1/4 of the price... And did i ever mention i never had a crash and/or issue with computer security? Lol... Remember Mac fanboys users, NO OS is secure in this world... Only "knowledge" on the end user's side will keep you secure.

This whole thread was nothing but "troll lure" from the get go.

And of course, the tired old "My cheapo computer can outperform the Mac at 1/4 of the price" has to come up.

Just about every post in this thread is nothing but trolling.

Fine, you like Windows, have fun with it, enjoy it. No one is telling you what OS to use. Come to think of it, I don't think I saw one Mac person post in this forum yet.

Both OS's have advantages over the other. Let's just leave it at that...

Since its Symantec spreading FUD about both PC's and now Mac's, just ignore the rhetoric.

Right, what a great idea. Just close your eyes and pretend your mac is impervious.

Good luck with that one.

Being a Windows user myself, Windows is more expensive. Try pricing a Dell up to Apple's specs, it will be in the near $4,000s...then you will see that Apple is actually CHEAPER than most comparibly priced PCs. And since new Apple computers can run Windows, I do not see what is stopping them from going that direction. Though for me on the other hand, I do not plan to go Mac anytime soon, as tempted I was in the past.

I Guess this guy never BUILD himself his own PC tho... That $4,000 dell? Lol I Can get it with the SAME SPECS for like $2500 to $3,000 bucks or less... In the end Self Built Custom PC + Windows + Not-A-Noob in computer hardware and security user = the most stable and secure computer you can have...

Re: MAC asked for it...

I don't have a Mac, nor will I bash a Mac. I have Linux on one PC and XP on the other PC.

Just taking into account consideration who is delivering the FUD mail, in an attempt to drum up support of their, IMO, crappy bloated software product
