Guys like you are funny.
I have been running a PC, first DOS then WIN since 1992. In that time, I have contracted one virus (back in 1994). That caused me to reinstall DOS 6.22 because it infected the command file.
I haven’t had a virus since, and I don’t run a virus scanner.
But then again, I like knowing how computers work, so “it just works” doesn’t fly with me that well. I’m of the old school that believes that if someone doesn’t know what’s going on under the hood, they have no business at the keyboard. I know that this is an impossibility now that computers have integrated themselves into everything and has redefined communication as we know it, but still.
I like my PC, and I can do everything THAT I WANT TO DO on it. for me, and I’m sure like others like me, there is zero reason to convert to a Mac system.
Besides that, I can’t get past their Mac release advertisements back in the mid-1980’s:
“A computer... for the REST of us!”
No thanks.

If you don't run a virus scanner, how can you know for sure that you're virus-free?
"But then again, I like knowing how computers work, so “it just works” doesn’t fly with me that well. I’m of the old school that believes that if someone doesn’t know what’s going on under the hood, they have no business at the keyboard."
That makes you the snob, doesn't it?
There is no problem getting under the hood of a Mac. There is a whole UNIX subsystem in there for anyone who wishes to access it, and free tools like XCode to create new software.
