But the evidence says that although Macs are not 100% ironclad secure, they are not hit nearly as often or as hard as Windows boxes are. I would conclude from the evidence, that I am safer using a Mac at the present time, according to the available evidence.
Now, I use both. My everyday-use computer is a WinXP box, using Firefox and Thunderbird, with Zone Alarm Pro and Grisoft Antivirus to protect me. My video editing computer, sitting a few feet away, is a PowerMac Quadcore G5.
Of the two, the G5 is far more secure, and I've never had a single security issue with it. Never with the Quadcore, or the dual 2GHz G5 before it, or the dual 1.42 GHz G4 before that, or the dual 1.25GHz G4 before that, or the dual 1GHz G4 before that, or the dual 800MHz before that.
I understand your point. I work at a television station and we have lots of Macs running Final Cut Pro in our edit suites. The problems aren't security, the problems are crashes in the middle of an all night project.
I'm sure you agree with that?
In any case, I agree that the evidence is that your Macs are ignored by hackers.
