If everyone had a mac, then MAC's would be getting destroyed - there is NOTHING better about a mac -- maybe the price is higher? A LOT higher!

Macs are different. To some people they are better, to others they are not. And you can get a solid Mac laptop for about $700 and a solid one-piece desktop for about $800.

there is NOTHING better about a mac Sorry, but Macs are inherently more secure and stable. Being Unix based, one cannot bypass permissions and compromise the system.

If everyone had a mac, then MAC's would be getting destroyed... You are assuming that the security models for Windows and Mac (and Linux) are identical. They aren't. It's like saying that the damage would be identical if a tornado went through a brick home community rather than through a trialer park.
I prefer the security of my brick home (linux) over trailers (Windows).

Swordmaker, do you still have that column showing that Windows' market share (and the Mac's lack thereof) has nothing to do with why Windows machines are hacked every second of the day, while most Macs are never hacked at all?
There are a number of people on this thread that could use a clue.

Thanks for answering the question I was wondering about before having to ask it.
