For one thing, I know 500 is a small number compared to 1,122,311 (if that number is correct, which it isn't).

My proof to the claim is:

Now do you get it? No? Here it is in bold:

WINDOWS IS MORE SECURE THAN MAC OSX. YOU JUST NOTICE MORE WINDOWS VIRUSES/EXPLOITS BECAUSE WINDOWS IS 3X AS COMMON AS MAC OSX.

The number is right, first of all. I just have to remember the link it's from.

Second of all, I find that really hard to believe. If Vista is so "secure" how come a virus went past it AND my virus protection program and wiped my hard drive clean? AND a virus went through my parent's work computer and she is a GOVERNMENT worker, okay? Government computers have super protection, and YET a virus came through and plastered her computer with junk (which I won't explain what it was).

Now Windows 7 might be better, I don't know. Anyone have an unbiased opinion?

The number maybe right, but many of those viruses can't do anything anymore, because of reasons like they only run under 9x versions of Windows, or the security hole it uses is patched.

In the case of those viruses you/your mom's computers, I said that Vista/7 is more secure, not 100% secure. No OS or anti-virus program is perfect.

Windows isn't 100% secure.
OSX isn't 100% secure.
Linux isn't 100% secure.

AVG isn't perfect.
Bitdefender isn't perfect.
Avast isn't perfect.
Even MBAM isn't perfect.

Do you finally get it? No OS is perfect. You can keep Mac OS X, and we'll keep Windows. Just don't trash talk Windows, and I won't trash talk OSX, ok?

True, so true. But I still don't like Windows, because Windows doesn't like me.

Nothing is 100% friendly.


Windows isn't 100% friendly.
OSX and Mac OS aren't 100% friendly.
Linux isn't 100% friendly.

Macs are still friendlier than Windows! I have proof:

I use Mac OS X 50% of the time, Ubuntu 10.10 49% of the time, and Windows XP 1% of the time.

I used to. Not anymore. Linux ftw.
