Glad this news sends a breeze up your skirt.

After 20+ years in the computing industry, and over a decade of having to put up with the fecal matter Microsoft ships as software, I decided to switch to the Mac.

I now waste much less time on security issues than I used to. I certainly waste none on rebuilding my system from scratch, as I used to. Apple’s hardware and OS offers me an environment where I can run both Windows and Linux/FreeBSD if I want (and I do) as guests under OS X. The net result is a more stable Windows environment.

And FWIW - I run Windows as a guest under OS X every single day the stock market is open. The reason I now run Windows as a guest OS under OS X is that I have money riding on the issue. Downtime used to cost me dearly to play rebuild-the-system games under Windows.

Isn’t switching to MAC right now a little like moving the San Francisco during an earthquake? Perhaps risky? After all, according to this report, it has the HIGHEST number of reported security vulnerabilities of ANY vendor. WooooHoooo!!!
