[QUOTE="NyteByte, post: 2121660, member: 10381"] Viruses can run on ANY computer. The Mac is just as vulnerable as the PC and probably more so. The reason you don't see as much virus hype on Macs is because nobody uses them, especially not in the business world. You rarely, if ever, see a Mac on anyone's desk. If you want to do any real work, you need a PC. We had a Mac in my company about a year ago. A graphic designer that worked for us absolutely demanded to have one. The thing was nothing but trouble and incompatible with everything. It was running OS 9 at the time which was much less stable than even Windows 95. The thing would crash about six to eight times per day and they would accept it as "normal" claiming "Mac's do this all the time". It still didn't have pre-emptive multitasking or true memory protection like Windows NT has had since the beginning of 1994. The underlying architecture of Windows ran rings around anything Apple has to offer on the Mac. My PC absolutely NEVER crashes. Hasn't for years. I hear that the new OS 10 is better in this respect, but even OS 10 can't touch Windows for reliability, security features, and network capabilities. I've toyed with OS 10 for a bit and it's security is a total joke. Microsoft is at least 6 years ahead of Apple with their underlying OS architecture. The one thing the Mac OS has going for it is the pretty interface. I'll admit that Apple probably has the best looking user interface I've seen. Their case design is also very cool. However, don't be fooled by all the glitz and glamour. It's just lipstick on a bulldog. If you want to do any real work, you need a PC running Windows. If you need a computer for very simple home use or you're a computer neophyte, then maybe the Mac would be good for you. [/QUOTE]
