Yea right. When I can build a machine and put mac os on it I will jump over. Don't think begin on a mac makes you any safer, if every windows user was to jump over today you can bet the spyware/malware/ad-ware/crapware/viruses would come right along with them.

The only reason there is so much crap going around for windows is that it is used by more people, bottom line.

Normally I'd throw in some argument about how malware would exist on other platforms if they were easy to make for other platforms, but in the case of spyware, you're right.

it doesnt mater what OS you use, it just maters how well you can take care of what you own. i had my computer already for over 4years now and its working like i just got it today. never had a problem with it except a few times i had boot problems and nothing ever since.

and for danny if ms antivirus dont work you should also try AVG antivirus (http://www.grisoft.com) its a really good virus program also.
