it is a mixture of both. my hate has become a vendetta good word for it :D.

but they do claim that they are ahead of windows 7 and linux is still a laugh to me i read the article and all of their new updates.

sure they fixed those flaws which were laughable to begin with like the vulnerabilities with their web browser and tons of security holes.

there are still itunes exploits lurking around that i am sure of. Give it time and we will see the headlines.

but in the end shouldn't a new os be safer in security to begin with?

Yea I’d like to see the new trend reports. In the os standing for 2011 vs 2010.
Windows is still growing and apple is picking up as well in the os market.

but again my bad if its stereotyping but everyone is trying to do some music stuff and that's the first thing they push on you or tell you to get and people are falling for it. My little cuz is trying to be a rapper and that’s what they told him, me being me I stopped that right in the tracks.

Also where there is a growth there comes more types of people. if osx keeps growing at this rate the more people see the possibility for exploiting . From the people i know with macs, i know some of their passwords and ½ of them don’t even properly password protect their comps.

I am the exact opposite, ive had classes where im forced to work with macs and i can say that I can crash em and freeze em just as bad if not worse than windows i don't believe the myths or the misconceptions with windows vs macs.

if you know how to maintain your computer and manage it windows is a beast. Unlike most haters I tried all the o's that's how i base what i say.

what ever i do on my home computer i go and do it on others. windows is pretty stable if you ask me, I changed the appearance and had the ability and power to tweak and do what i wanted.

the mac virus thing was mentioned online because the "virus free comp" its mentioned in multiple apple ads had so much of its user base infected.

That's fair enough, even if Windows was equally as fast/efficient I'd still prefer Mac purely down to personal preference in OS.

Out of interest do you prefer Windows to Ubuntu or other Linux?
