Mac vs PC

Post by Mr. Oragahn » Mon Apr 19, 2010 3:38 pm

Was watching this and I keep wondering how true is it that a Mac is more virusproof than a PC running with Windows.
There are much more people using PCs, so doesn't it make sense that it would be the prime targets of all possible nuisances, worms and what have you?

Not too accurate anymore. One guy once hacked into a Mac in 15 seconds, because of a flaw in the software.

Interesting read.
I entices me to try getting a Mac OS X on a PC (the Macs are PC with a Mac OS, you pay the OS and that's all, the hardware that is licensed to Mac is not different, it's just locked so you have to pay the absurdly overpriced version with Apple's seal of milking).
