    Who are you? And asher - ok. But you need to realize that if windows is not 100% secure then it does not legally belong in control of 95% of the market. It belongs in a smaller market. A tiny, "mini-er mart" if you will. I could go for its complete elimination if I did not depend on 2 of their computers, actually. Yes that would be nice, more secure for us all.

          "Who are you?"

          You once knew him as Giancarlo. He said, PROMISED that he would leave, but he keeps coming back. Dammit.

            That is the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a while.

            Market share should not be determined by a commitee which makes judgement about which OS most secure, then forces people to use it. Market share should be determined by what people want to buy.

            I still firmly believe you should be able to buy things like Dells without Windows (not just businesses), but Dell made a decision to always give it. *shrug*

            Consumers buy what they want. Consumers want Windows, despite what the anti-MS people will try to tell you.

              Really? Can you quote me the actual law that states that?

                This thread started out great, and can only get better! Or deleted.
                Either way:

                  An insecure operating system cannot remain the world standard simply because a bunch of idiot soccer moms who cannot even spell "passwordd" like to buy Dells. Not only does a world standard product in general threaten innovation, it can also threaten security, like it does here. Microsoft is the devil, and like trees, we must "breakup" the devil.

                  And JohnT, if it's not a law, then I personally will make it one.

                    And in the place of Microsoft OS's you will put.... ?

                    Or do you just suggest people stop using computers completely?

                      Wigggggggggggy!!

                      The simple fact of the matter is when your OS is popular, people try to hack it more. The more they try to hack it, the more they do hack it.

                      Believe me, MacOS wasn't designed with security in mind at all. Their security is obscurity.

                        OSX, which Asher said is fine security-wise.

                        Or do you just suggest people stop using computers completely?
                        Yes, but that's a separate issue.

                          Again, I've said no such thing.

                          Why is it that Mac users have such a hard time with basic reading comprehension, reasoning, and logic? I swear, 90% of them are "special"...

                            First off, you said you didn't know, and neither do I, so let's call it a draw and say it's the unhackable OS. Going with that, I am right. And I am not really a true mac user, since the last one I have is from the '90's. Good times.

                                You should become a lawyer, because you have that talent to take things completely out of context and use them to contradict opponents. I admire that, a little.
