Sheesh people, Stop complaining about windows. Really, What else are you going to use? I use two kinds of windows - one on my laptop and one on my desktop. My desktop makes windows for me, and I can change between them by hitting ALT-. The only down side was that it didn't have enough windows, so I had to follow some instructions and make some more.
My laptop is even better. It makes all the windows I could want, whenever I ask it to. I just hit COMMAND-N.
You guys make it sound like your windows do bad things trying to make windows. I think you should get a different version of windows. I got my laptop's windows from www.apple.com, and my desktop windows from www.redhat.com. I had some other windows from www.sun.com, but I just beat those windows with a hammer, yesterday.
My first thoughts, exactly. Although, this is the prettiest box out there for this use... maybe Apple Computer, Inc. will let it slide? (oh, wait... *looking down at my "powerbook notebook computer*... They don't like when they're branding is mucked with.)

Email that to yourself, and use Apple's Mail.app to read you email. All you receive is a pesky "Do you want to run this?" when you click the attachement.
You could make something reliant on user's doing stupid things, on a Mac, easily enough. I did that in ten seconds in apple script to prove the point - but sheesh - if User stupidity is always going to be a factor in debate, no OS is more secure than another. You could just as easily mail an ELF to a linux user and have them run it without thinking.
My point, though drawn out, is simple: before we run off blaming idiot users, should we not debate the merits of the OS, by itself, and the security expolits it frequently / infrequently suffers from? Thereby allowing an evaluation of how secure it is against a threat which has no bearing on stupid users?
By the way - I run one Mac, one Linux machine, and one XP Pro. I do worry about the XP pro more than the other two.
