Mac OS X. The World's best general purpose operating System.

Vista may not have reliability (built on the sold NT foundations) and security problems, but its not a Mac. There are too many nice features to discard over vista (system wide spell checking + dictionary + colour palette + font inspector for starters).

show me a website with a virus...

Ok... I'm a Windows user that is considering a switch to the Mac... but not for any overriding security concerns... I have NEVER been to a website where I could get a virus... would someone please be kind enough to provide a URL where these viruses supposedly live?

Thanks!

You'll find plenty if you google for software cracks, etc ;)

I'm reading this thread eagerly awaiting for someone to give some solid and practical examples of how Vista is better than XP. I mean real examples, not theoretical scenarios where Vista promises to be better.

and BTW, here's how to install Vista in less than 2 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVbf9tOGwno ;)
