Apparent immunity to computer viruses FTW.
this is not true in any way, just so you know. macs really are no more secure than vista/7. less so in some ways, actually.
oh, and while i'm thinking of it, because i've seen some posts to the contrary, vista was actually a really nice os. some of the issues with its poor "status" among a lot of people are: 1. it was sold with underpowered pcs. oems put pressure on ms to drop the requirements for the "windows vista capable" and "windows vista premium *whatever*" stickers along with the minimum requirements for them to package in vista in general so that they could throw it on underpowered pcs. this was the cause of a LOT of the issues with vista. 2. it's quite a bit more secure than xp and all the xtra popups because of it(mainly uac) annoyed people. uac is an awesome feature(not just for the warnings, but for the registry and program file virtualization, as well), but ms should have made it more granular before adding it to the os. it's pretty much perfect in 7. in vista, it can be adjusted through the registry or the group policy editor, both of which would be beyond the scope of an average user. 3. it's different than xp. to a lot of people who don't like change, this was a bad thing. to anyone with some common sense, it's a really good thing. it really was a vast improvement in many ways. one of the improvements that i find comical at times is the way people(friends/clients/family, etc) ***** about how much memory vista uses. what they aren't understanding is that it isn't just "eating up" the memory, it's using it as a cache and is pre-loading popular apps, among other things. for a decent explanation, go to google and type in: "windows vista memory usage" then go to the first hit. there's a lot more i could go into, but i think that's enough complaining for one night.
oh, one last thing, for anyone calling it "m$" or micro$oft, that's a really good way to get yourself ignored. it's immature and shows a serious lack of understanding of what ms does/is and how their products actually work.
e: wait a minute, you sensor "cursing" here? wow, wasn't expecting that.. also, why would you ever prevent people from posting urls? that's a pretty terrible policy. there's no way you get that much spam.
