Well, sure. If you make your living from virus propagation, you're bound to prefer Windows.

Reiterating what I've said already on THIS thread, I've owned Windows machines for 12 years, and not one system failure or virus attack. But, then again, it appears you didn't bother to read my previous post.

Not every windows user is as saavy as you. Nor are Mac users. My point though is that as a casual computer home user, you WILL be more likely to have issues with viruses if you use Windows machines. I know 10 people right now whose machines are running slow because of the numerous viruses they have unknowingly picked up. Not that Macs don't have issues, just not due to viruses.

I read your post just fine. I believe you. Why is why I said that I think you're telling the truth. (Do you remember that part?)

And then you threw your money at me and bragged about having no repeat customers. Which makes me think that you make your living from virus propagation and elimination. Which means you would be poorer if there were fewer Windows machines out there. And the Mac folks don't have to work nearly as hard, or pay so much money for your services. Which was my point.

I have worked on Microsoft since we started computing at home several years ago and I have not had a computer go down because of a virus, but, I have had my home page hi-jacked, spyware, malware, IE hi-jacked when using Google...so I can agree with you on stopping my machine but it sure gets bogged down with crap and then I have to system restore. If I had a dime for every system restore I have done, I'd have at least twenty dollars.
