It's not clear why this is worth mentioning, then, since there are millions of people who know nothing about security that are similarly challenged.

It's worth mentioning only in that we see a famous person (in IT at least) showcasing the same problems that millions have, and switching for the same reasons that millions do.

The only possible partisanship here is pro-Apple, not necessarily anti-Windows. Think about the majority of Linux users out there running on Intel's platform.

Huh? This issue has to do with OS security. It has nothing to do with CPU choice.

Those are good. You're using WEP, right?

[Bush2000]

I'm familiar with that site. Is there any particular info you wanted me to read?

Right or wrong, what an idiot to plug a competing platform!

Oteillini is the head of Intel ... and yet he can't even manage to install a Limited User Account (LUA) for his daughter to prevent spyware infection. What a maroon.

Obviously. Maybe he's just trying to woo Apple over to Intel chips. Otherwise, his board isn't going to be too happy when they hear about how this made national news.

It just takes more work to keep Windows secure and running, work that is often beyond their knowledge.

or patience...

Auto updates over broadband is about as painless as it gets. What's better?

[Swordmaker]

Maybe not...

Apple tp switch to Intel Chips???

Thanks, I've been following that issue very closely, and think it will help Apple, especially if they go full bore and release shrink wrap OSX. Good luck.
