[QUOTE="puros_bran, post: 147867, member: 10"] Not defending Windows here, just like I'm not really attacking Mac on the backside of this post.. Just making (and admittedly possibly wrong) observations. Windows 7 appears to have separated the OS from the data via partition.. Theoretically this will keep what your talking about from happening. Mac has become more windows like since they became Intel based, seems like everytime you turn around they have their hand out wanting more dough. Looking at the entry level MacBook (not pro) it also looks like build quality has defiantly went down. As for the virus issues, More and mo Mac specific virus are coming out everyday, the days of not running a security block are over.. And for the same reason as Windows. The iPhone brought Apple from the dead, the two year "Buy a Mac" campaign worked, iPad didnt hurt, more and more people are buying the whole hog and due to its popularity hackers are starting to target it. Obscurity as a defense doesn't work anymore. Look at what happened at Pwn2Own this year, Safari went down 5 seconds (not a misprint) into the attack.. [/QUOTE]
