I think a lot of people miss a big reason why Mac users put down Windows and evangelize for Apple. It's akin to hearing people everywhere saying, "I keep sticking this pencil in my eye and it hurts!" After a while, you want to scream, "Then stop sticking that pencil in your eye!" We constantly constantly, "I keep having security/stability/whatever problems with Windows!" and eventually we want to scream, "Then buy a Mac! I'm not having those problems. You don't have to have those problems. The problem is Windows. Try something else." The same thing happens with Linux users.

I don't have security problems on my Windows machine either. Then again, I don't open email attachments from people I don't know.
