Mac Or Windows

Mac don't get viruses?! Are you serious?! Surely these Macs of which you speak do not recieve or have no capability of getting internet connections, for this to be true. Unless these Macs of which you speak have some sort of technological cure for the various virus program inputs into it's normal functions. Then and only then would I believe this Mac of which you speak being virus-proof.

I'm petty sure Windows would have stolen and copyrighted such technology, should such technology actually exist.....but I doubt it does. All computers, sans the type, are potential virus harborers. If you have internetting, it's possible for you to get a virus, regardless of make and model. srry Embarassed

Macs Can Get a Virus. It's just more uncommen.

Get a windows. They can do way more than macs can, almost always have better hardware, and I don't care what people say about "more user friendly", after a few weeks with windows, its not that difficult to figure out. I used macs my entire life, and I still like windows more. Macs are better for editing video and doing powerpoint things, but windows can do it almost as good, and it plays lots more games than the mac.
And macs can get viruses, but, like Mountain_Dewroo said, its a bit harder to do.

"get a windows..." Lol. Anyway, Windows can be alot more unstable compared to Mac OS X. If your into games (for the PC) Get a PC. If you just want to browse the internet and Chat with your friends, Get a mac.

I was musing over whether to make a suggestion, but I think I'll just say, "Geez." Then I hit the edit button to add that Intel macs are able to boot up both windows or mac OSs with 'boot camp' which is supposed to be a standard feature of their next operating system, so one could play windows games with apple mac hardware.

[quote]Gabriel's MacBook doesn't arrive until... they start arriving, later this month, but save for platform-dependent gaming I've used my own Mac for every computing task this week. What I have ascertained is not that PCs as we know them lack good design, but that PCs as we know them have hardly any design to speak of. I'm not trying to be insulting. Use a Mac for a week, and we'll talk again.[/quote]
