They realize the ONLY selling point a Mac has is that it's more secure:It's definitely not the only selling point, but it is the oft-repeated one. Other selling points include: -Higher quality hardware (not sure if this is still true, but for a while installing Windows XP on a mac would result in the best gaming laptop for the price) -It works out of the box with no bloatware -Better integration with iDevices -You aren't a proper hipster without one I'm betting 3 out of 4 PC users are also unknowingly infected with botnet related malware, so internet security in itself is elusive no matter what OS you use. Until Windows 7 I am pretty sure that was the case (close to 40% of the PC users on my campus would at some point during the year be caught with malware during our proactive scans). Now with UAC it might be a bit better. I'm pretending Vista doesn't exist. |
