Windows XP is no relation to DOS - except that Microsoft wrote a version of DOS. I use all manner of OSes as part of my daily work - but Windows XP is certainly the one I use most simply because you can run more varied software on that platform. OS/es I use regularly that aren't listed include Windows 2003 Server OS/2 SGI Irix Solaris HP-UX AIX FreeBSD and WinCE |

Yup - I've been using the beta for quite a while now... but it'll make no difference to anyone that hasn't upgraded their PC to a 64-bit motherboard and processor... |

That is a little disappointing. A special and different music taste
could mean the same about other things you choose for yourself as
well, like the OS you use. winblows is such a generic crap.

I have to agree this is true, partly from bugs, bad designs, etc., but also partly because it is used so widely it only makes sense that spyware designers would aim all their attention at this operating system. It makes economic sense to do this. If some other operating system were far more widely used than XP in the average home user market (i.e. the bulk of less computer-literate users), chances are the hackers would hit that one. I could be wrong. After all, they do have a searing hatred for Microsoft. Back before Microsoft, it was IBM. Anyone remember VM/CMS? I suppose the same idea can be applied to browsers. IE is really problematic in this regard. It's one of the reasons I chose to move to Firefox. It's not perfect, but seems safer to me, at least for the moment. |

I had a mac laptop for a few years it sucked,most of the programs that i have dont work andmy printers, scanners, and cameras wouldnt work the only good thing about it was Final Cut BTW it was killed by a virus that screwed up the OS |

Wait! You actually tried to run your previously acquired programs in your mac? Are they for the x86 platform? And hardware too? Was this before the outcome of USB? What OS are you talking about exactly? But a virus damaged your OS and then your laptop was lost? Couldn't you reinstall the OS?  ------------- Klaatu Barada Nikto! |

Spyware is a Windows problem ... but NOT because the Mac is immune to spyware. If the Mac had >90% market share, it would have the same problems as Windows has.
