Cheese// Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Us Mac users are all good because our computers actually workall the time.I know how to use a PC fine.But why would I punish myself using with such a slow, annoying and vulnerable OS?Macs deserve your love and respect.

dude3516 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 The reason that MACs receive less viruses, isn't because they are more secure or any of that...it's because hackers don't care. PC's are the most widespread used computer out there, plus most people who use MAC's are college students...no money there. Here ya go from Securnia, Danish security firm that's quite reliableMac OS X doesn't stand out as particularly more secure than the competition, according to Secunia. Of the 36 advisories issued in 2003-2004, 61 percent could be exploited across the Internet and 32 percent enabled attackers to take over the system. The proportion of critical bugs was also comparable with other software: 33 percent of the OS X vulnerabilities were "highly" or "extremely" critical by Secunia's reckoning, compared with 30 percent for XP Professional and 27 percent for SLES 8 and just 12 percent for Advanced Server 3. OS X had the highest proportion of "extremely critical" bugs at 19 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalSoil Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 i think they actually started making some 2 button mice for macs cause people made fun of them for it so much.i dont HATE macs i just dont like them. they are usually budget computers although they do have some nice ones out there but they get very pricy. the main people who use them are graphics people. they put slammin cards in them and the programs are designed to work with them so they dont lag up or mess up on them. i like working on my pc and getting new things for it.
