Ok one, macs can get viruses, the chances are much much much lower but they do happen, HOWEVER if they do they cause nearly no damage to the computer, for several reasons, one including mac's do not have a registry like windows making it much more stable, and virus cant attack i easily. 2 the reasons there is hardly any viruses for mac is not because ppl dont write them rather mac is built on a strong UNIX technology which is very secure. Also Mac is mre stable and less freezes and crashes happen
I would be against mac releasing Mac OSX for a PC because it would not work as well. Sure macs are more expensive but with the proper care they pay for themselves that is by the time you keep loading on Anti-virus software and other maintanance programs you could by a mac and they last up to 7 years in most cases they will not be top of the range but still work.
And mac is a much more user friendly experience and generally better, unlike windows you can install the new operating systems on onlder models like the leopard oS on an old ibook g4. I use Windows and macs and i think mac is a much superior OS than windows.
Also i have up to date internet security and firewalls and i still get viruses on a regualar occasion. However i do agree sometimes it is easier to format the HDD and start again sometimes then cleaning out your PC
Also macs are much faster when the HD becomes fuller.
for us OCers? no way.
first off- virus, best stuff is free. Or you can get good third party.
second- upgrades?! You can get almost anything for a PC, not a mac.
third- user interface? That is all your own perception. I hate macs, I have used them a fair amount, and I dont like them at all compared to windows. But that is just ME, it is diff for everyone
