“Apple introduced the Macintosh (Mac) in 1984.”
And yet it nearly died because it was so bad. Oh and it was based on a version of Unix created in the mid 70’s.
” OsX has been around for fewer than 10.”
So you’re saying its not all that well tested and vested?
” How many computers is Bill Gates and crew making these days?”
They don’t make any computers, they just sell more software than anyone else. They get other people to do the low profit margin stuff
And your experience with this "bad"ness is exactly what? The OS is not what nearly killed Apple... it was management decisions by a sugar water salesman...
So you’re saying its not all that well tested and vested?
It is very well tested and "Vetted." Being mostly open source, the code is available for anyone to look into and find security holes. The core UNIX has been tested by exposure to the wild for 40+ years and has undergone fire many times... and the fires have long since been put out. About 270 million man/computer years of exposure of Mac OS X over the past 9 years (OS X Server beta was released in 2000). We are going on 9 years with ZERO viruses, ZERO worms, ZERO spyware in the wild. That is an impressive record. Windows cannot touch it.
However, this is a Windows PC thread... so let's drop the Mac comments. OK?
