Goshm you really know how to kill threads. Anyway, how many of you are planning on getting Windows (Longhorn) Vista?

I will get the operating system.
And I will also ignore the comment.

But I'm serious, besides saying "No", you should at least contribute something to the topic, because then nobody has nothing to reply to "No."

Or maybe you might get something using Linux for a change?

Or, you could by one of the new Intel Macs and dual-boot Windows!
(Or vice-versa)

Yeah, that would be sweet.

Yeah. I'd use Windows for most stuff, Linux for programming, and Mac to keep important files so nobody can hack into it.

Haha, if you have a normal Anti-Virus program, firewall, and spyware blocker, you would not need Apple OS X. One of the main reasons of why OS X hardly has any viruses is that a small minority use it.

That's true. Even less people use Solaris.

Solaris. That operating system is geaded towards enterprises and mainframes and the such.

You can't make blind assumptions like that! Just because you don't know many people who use it doesn't mean that it's not very common!

oh, and there aren't many viruses because it's a secure operating system. Even with all of that anti-spyware shit, windows is not safe. MacOS is based on Unix, which is very secure. The number of people who use it doesn't have anything to do with the number of viruses!

You can't make blind assumptions like that! Just because you don't know many people who use it doesn't mean that it's not very common! I did not state that nobody used it, I said that a minority used it, because you cannot deny that more people use Windows than OS X. oh, and there aren't many viruses because it's a secure operating system.

I said that ONE of the main reasons that OS X has a small amount of viruses is that it is less popular. People who program viruses want to target the MAJORITY of users, not the MINORITY.
