You were saying ...

I am saying Windows 7 is more secure than Apple's Snow Leopard, and I had the figures to prove it.

Okay, you run Windows 7 for a year on the Internet -- without any Anti-virus program or protection, doing all your normal stuff -- and -- I'll run Mac OS X for a year, without any Anti-virus program or protection -- and we'll see who gets hosed first ... LOL ...

And, by the way, this is not "theoretical" either -- there are huge numbers of Macintosh OS X users doing that very thing right now and have done it for years... "no problem" ...

So, I'm more than happy to "give it a go" ... :-)

I have already run Windows 7 for nearly 2 years, since beta. It's rock solid, super secure and the best OS out there.

without any Anti-virus program or protection, doing all your normal stuff — and “

Why would I do that, especially since Microsoft gives you a free security pack download with your Windows 7, called Microsoft Security Essentials?
