I'm another Mac-head that just enjoys the computer experience. I never think about viruses, security problems, spyware or the like. I download everything that interests me with zero concerns that it could harm my system.

I do like reading about all the Windows problems and wonder why it hasn't been fixed yet. Thre last I heard was Bill Gates said it could be fixed in the next few years. Right.

My only regret is not investing in Apple when it was at 13 not too long ago. It's now over 67.

In all fairness, many (but not all) of the problems are social engineering attacks that no current OS can protect against effectively. ("Hey, check out this cool program I found!"). These target Windows just because it's the most common. Still, that doesn't change the fact that your experience will likely to be much better on a Mac. When I read about Windows spyware and viruses, and how people are running detection and removal programs daily, I just can't believe that they're willing to put up with it.

Heh, I sold at 34, convinced that would be the peak for a while. Whoops.
