Re: dreamin’ on

Let’s see ... 7 years, 30,000,000 OS X Mac users, zero viruses, zero spyware, zero adware, 1 hacker Black Hat contest break in that doesn’t achieve Root (after rules were loosened and with help through a 3rd party Java vulnerability), fewer than ten Trojans, OS X UNIX Certified, and now being deployed by the US Army because of OS X’s greater security, and I should be worried? Why?

I’ve been running my OSX Mac G5 tower for two years now without a firewall 24/7 constantly on DSL just to see what happens. No AV either. So far nothing has breached the Mac’s defenses. Let’s see a Windows machine do that.

Your opinion is based on what? Reading FUD?

It's secure enough, especially compared to Windows. Most computer users would be better off tossing their PCs in the dumpster, and getting a Mac instead.
