I guess Apple has arrived

Just reading over the summary for March for vulnerabilities in Operating Systems. First time I recall Apple/MAC leading the list on number of flaws vs. Microsoft. It seems that they have finally arrived and the claim of buy an Apple, no viruses, will be a thing of the past. Talk about becoming a victim of your own success.

I'm not sure if you are praising Apple or criticizing Apple. All I know is that I have been living the dangerous life for many, many years. A Mac hooked up 24/7 to the internet with no firewall or virus protection and never had a problem. Anyway, bring it on I guess.

PC users are always looking for justification for using antiquated technology. Once you go Mac, you never go back.

Logic eludes cult followers as always.

Just commenting on something I saw as unusual. Mac or PC, they are about the same nowadays. Viruses are more of an attack on inexperience than on the machine, imho.

As a gamer, I desire to play games more complex than Bejeweled. Unfortunately Macs don't meet that criteria. ;-)

I'm just here for the Mac is lame party !

Sounds like a Big Mac Attack! ;-)

Among other reasons, I like the way a PC can be customized easily with a near infinite variety of cases, graphics cards, hard drives, motherboards, memory chips, you name it. I appreciate the much lower cost for the power you get. I appreciate the competition of the many vendors that drives these prices down. Last but not least, Mac can't hold a candle to the PC in the games department.

I think those great commercials with the Mac and PC guy pretty much sums it up.

Being the nice guy I am, I have purchased Macs for my entire family. I still have a PC. Like the old, nerdy guy in the commercial I am constantly having problems and on several computers while they have no problems at all. My oldest has had the same Mac 5 years and never had one glitch nor one pop up. They really are just a superior product.

The problem is my work is all on PC and does not interface with Mac. I would switch in a heart beat if I could.

I'd have to ask, which PC are you comparing to? What many like about the PC, and is off putting to others, is the lack of standardization (of form). This makes for great variety and customization options. There are small companies that can build a PC precisely to your specs. Many people of average ability build their own PCs as well. PCs run different operating systems such as Linux. With Apple you are much more restricted. Granted the lack of choice facilitates decision making. My next PC will probably come from this online vendor: CyberPower Inc. - UNLEASH THE POWER - Create the Custom Gaming PC and Laptop Computer of your dreams It's daunting, but when the time comes, I'm willing to do the research in order to get precisely what I want. I'll know the specs on every component. It will be almost like building my own except I won't have to do the work shopping around for parts and assembling it.

I think what has made Apple so appealing is that virus writers have been focusing on attacking the most popular platform, the PC running some Windows variant. It appears that the party is over for Apple users.

You do know Bobby, that it is possible to run Windoze on a Mac right along with Mac OS. Very easy to do. Hint, hint...

Hmmmmm......

I have had disasters with Dell, Toshiba and Compaq. The Toshiba is the worse.
