Nothing wrong about what I said at all. He was discussing a home use PC, AVG for the home is free, how they manage to keep the lights on is not material to the discussion. If you want good anti-virus software for the home the best product available is free.
Sorry it’s pretending, at least as far as software support is concerned. I’m not talking about support from MS, read the rest of what I wrote, I’m talking about support from the 3rd party software vendors. Windows running on an Apple is not a supported platform for most of the industry. And they can claim problems because there are problems with all those thing. The software I work on professional will not fully work with VMWare, because VMWare doesn’t give proper access to PCI cards and we must access PCI cards (specific ones sold along with the software) to be fully operational. There are still barriers between these almost versions of Windows and real Windows. Eventually they will all be overcome, but for now these barriers exist and keep the majority of the vendor world from supporting them.
With the exception of certain esoteric applications and managed packages, that's absurd. All the Windows software I bought has no support terms dealing with the OEM. Do you have software that says "Support only valid if you run it on a Dell, Gateway, HP, ....."? Apple is just another OEM when it comes to Windows. And VMWare for the Mac is like running VMWare on Windows or Linux. It's not a problem specific to the Mac.
