First of all, I am talking to you from a windows infected Gateway computer. I have been a user of windows since day one (window 3.00). I am just so darn tired of Microsoft’s penchant for giving us an incomplete and virus susceptible OS.
I would move on to Apple computers, just can’t afford them. I would rather stick with cheap windows compatible computers and be frustrated with the constant security updates and yearly upgrades to the next version of windows.
With all the resources of Microsoft, you would expect better.
Windows 7 is at the very least as secure as any Apple desktop OS, if not more secure.
“With all the resources of Microsoft, you would expect better.”
They are just like Democrats, aren’t they! All horn, no driveshaft!
Instead of paying, let’s say $99 for each yearly upgrade of Windows (you must be running release #17 by now!) you could switch to a Mac for that price. Just a friendly suggestion.
Most people would realize that's a big hint there all by itself.
The reason why Windows OS computers are “virus susceptible” is b/c they are/were far and away the most computers and OS on the planet for the last forever. I’ve been reading that w/ the increased popularity of Mac devices, they are being targeted by viruses on an ever increasing basis.
Thus, Macs were largely virus free (until lately) as the scammers and mischievous makers wouldn’t waste their time on such a small percentage of PC users worldwide. They want the big bang for their bucks when phishing or just generally writing a nuisance program for fun. Plus, their programs get promulgated far faster via MSFT Outlook than the Apple email program.
