I wouldn't waste another minute arguing with these guys. Everybody knows which operating system has a pathetic history of viruses, worms and spyware - and which one doesn't.
If you'll notice I've actually been defending Apple for the majority of this thread, from someone who has been arguing on behalf of the Russian hackers that cracked OSX with lies that have gone on for months. Lies he admits he made on purpose, but instead of accepting responsibility claims they were quote "fun".
This is obviously a significant character issue that goes far deeper than anyone's personal preference of platform, to not only purposefully lie for months but what cause he has chosen to lie in support of, being the illegal Russian hacking of Apple's platform.
I remain a supporter of Apple Inc, especially their intellectal property including patents, something that antiRepublican strongly opposes. So while there are obviously battles going on in this thread, they are not all Apple vs. Microsoft vs. Linux. There is US intellectual property protection vs. illegal foreign hackers, as well, in my opinion being an even more significant issue.
I agree windows has a horrible history of viruses. But the issue is that Mac is still enjoying the luxury of obscurity and their zealots seem to think that's it's foolproof.
Swordmaker claims he doesn't say it's foolproof however he then proceeds to tout no virus in the wild. So what's the point? He's just too far in Mac's bed to see outside of the bedsheets.
