Apple users: smug, stupid, or lightyears beyond any PC owner?

[Ardesco]

Been living in darkness these last 3 years or so, time to upgrade.

Which flavour should I go for Vista Business, Home, pro, school, prep, XP, PX, chocolate, mint?

Ultimate is the only way to go. Mind you Ubuntu is getting quite a bit of kudos at the moment and it is based on Debian which is by far the best OS out there

95 or 98, they're both virus proof so keep all of your confidential data on them and just like with the mac, you won't need to install any antivirus

Still don't know why MS thought they could do better

I don't mind mac users as long as they don't harp on about why they think they've got it right and PC users have got it wrong. It's so boring

Macs - I'll need one soon for music recording and production but I'm not so used to the OS, as long as I don't have to be a pretentious "90's .com tit" to use one - yeah why not..

Mac viruses

Well, I've been mightily amused by this thread.

How do I put this?

There're sh1t loads of infections for Apples.

I have at least one (i.e. several) apple virtual machine that is/are infected. I watch what they get up to using it. They are serious bad boys. They are pro's. They are, if not, government, might as well be.

Why the fsck they are interested in me I can't really determine. Maybe it's because I've a few fish'n'chip shops, maybe it's cause I have some serious kit and bandwidth.

Funnily enough, I was going to reply earlier to this thread but the machine I normally post from got another exploit so I had to recover from a backup.

Ctrl Click. Easy peasy.

In normal use yes, but not when you're on on the phone. When my one button mouse packed up I got an el cheapo 3 button job, which works fine.

So these virutal machines are they running on windaz?

You only need to look at the Apple Security Updates.

Just as with any system, it's not just the O/S itself, but the applications that come with it.

I guess Mac users don't install anything and everything like you might if you were using a pc, and for some reason this rings true, I have everything i need on the one machine.

That rings true here as well. Since I got my Mac, I have spent a fraction of the amount I used to spend on extra software for Windows.
