Ahh so for a mac to be usable it has to pretend to be a microsoft PC. My point is made.

Your point is not made, nor is it "pretending" to be a Microsoft capable machine, it is, if need be. But for most purposes, equal or better software us natively available in the Mac environment. For those very rare occasions where there is not, then one can hold one's nose and run the MS stuff in a safe sandbox.

Dreams are wonderful things. Keep saying it long enough and maybe it will become true.

Security is more than a wall. Users are the weakest link in any system. Apples are not secure.
