There’s a substantial number of MAC users on this forum and many of them have enjoyed mocking the PC users every time there’s a discussion of a PC getting a nasty virus and how that doesn’t happen to them and how the PC users are fools to continue using PC’s. I will grant you that overall OSX is more secure than the typical flavor of Windows, but there is some payback due.
Sad to say, there are zealots of all types, on FR as elsewhere -- Windows, OS-X, Linux, Unix, whatever. Their presence is an annoyance to those of us who work with all operating systems, at work and and at home, every day. I don't play "Mine's better than yours" games.
I -do- call out zealots who push their agendas with false representations. I've defended Windows, OS-X, Linux, and Unix, against untrue attacks, at various times.
I suppose that there's emotionally satisfying schadenfreude available to Windows users when reports come out of an OS-X problem. But IMO there's no more need for that to be expressed as a broad-bush slur against Apple customers, than the equally obnoxious broad-brush wielded against Microsoft customers by Apple zealots when there's a Windows problem. It would be better to express one's glee at the individuals who expressed theirs previously.
But I grant that it's more difficult to be a sniper and pick off only the obnoxious a-holes, and it's easier to just drop a massive stink-bomb in the midst of the entire community. :)
