[QUOTE="kneedragger, post: 2121551, member: 18304"] .EXE is only used on Windoze with the 8.3 naming convention. A Mac executable, now that it's a BSD based OS, is determined by the UFS executable string ---x--x--x permission set. You are right about the Mac being less popular being a reason for Viruses not being written for it. There were 2 known viruses for the old Mac OS. I'm sure there were others, but not many. The "New" Mac OS is considered one of the hardest to hack supposedly. Also, many commands in UNIX need to be run as ROOT. This makes it hard for someone to come in and assume ROOT privleges without knowing a password. My vote is Mac. More intuitive, cleaner and great for the "bling" factor. [/QUOTE]
