IMO, Mac and Linux are good since most viruses are made for Windows. However, if Windows is as good as PC Mag says it is, why does Micro$oft need to release patch after patch to fix problems that should have been beta tested and repaired? I use Linux and it works fine without patches. I had one attack and that is all. WinXP had attacks on it left and right. IMO, Windows will always be attacked even if it's not the most popuar OS because of it's bad security and bad PR Micro$oft has in general.
OK. Sun won but MS will remove products no longer available. Seems like they will now charge for updates since they have to correct their mistake. Too bad for Office XP Developer. I see many angry CIOs for the next few days. Oh well. At least Win98 is finally dead. I had that and it would crash from being looked at.
IMO, this is why OSS is superior to money obsessed businessmen and programmers who have no pride in their trade. MS needs all new personel.
