[citation][nom]mauller07[/nom]the mac osx operating system itself is a nice operating system its just the whole culture of overpriced hardware to go with it thats the problem.there is a whole deep rooted psychological effect around people buying things for price and expecting higher quality when at the end of the day with certain things, price doesn't always reflect upon quality which with buying a mac is the case. in regards to security, its only a case of mac's having a small market share, if the market was even all operating systems would have just as much of a bombardment with security alerts[/citation]
I'd hate to get into the details, but it's hard not to dispute that the unix core is more secure than the windows environment. Mac OS X was built off of either FreeBSD or Debian (I forget). One would argue that Linux > Windows in security, so according to the law of syllogism, Mac OS > Windows in security. Not trying to be a fanboy here, just adding some insight to the conversation.

That one made my day.
I've said before that I *gasp* own a macbook. To make it fair, I like the Mac OS. Apple is definitely very good at making their products intuitive. The way it looks like it's going to work, it works. (my grammar have good yes.) The Mac OS manages memory differently than the Windows environment, allowing for better multitasking, and has a much different, more structured kernel. That's all better.
Now am I saying that the price of apple's
hardware is worth it? Of course not!
