Being a WinXP user, I am considering checking into Apple PC's, as they seem to have, from what I've heard, far fewer security issues and are more stable. However, I'm wondering about the following....
1) Are most firewalls and anti-virus programs readily compatible with Apple systems?
2) Can PHP, MySql and Apache be installed for web development?
3) Are software/hardware upgrades easily available, and are they price-comparable to Windows-based PC's?
4) Do alternate browsers ( Mozilla, Firefox, etc. ) install and work properly?
5) Would my ISP ( MSN ) run on an Apple?
Sorry if these sound so ignorant, but I have basically no knowledge of Apple products. Any help is appreciated.
Thanx....
