..true but even back then that was superior to the MSDOS or Win 2.x we had back then.mahlemiut wrote:Like anything pre-MacOS X?

Yes, with XP they perhaps are getting it right now...but I still see how easily that OS is hacked or has security leaks or is so susceptible to viral attacks...especially e-mail attacks.Windows XP is very stable, thank you very much. As is Linux. Windows Me = evil incarnate.

I don't seem to remember so many issues like this with previous versions of Windows NT... Not so many used those either.LN2 wrote:We don't have that issue in OS X. Sure, it's potentially there....but hasn't happened. I think it goes beyond just the #users also.
We had software for one of the labs I was working in that ran within Win 2.x. it was ghastly! In file management if you wanted to delete 100 files from a folder, you select them and trash then go away and come back in 15 minutes and hope it was done!mahlemiut wrote:I've never known anyone to use any version of Windows prior to 3.0.
True... I still think it goes beyond just the number of users though...otherwise the percentages would suggest there would be at least a handful of active viruses and/or trojan horses and certainly e-mail worms and/or viruses...yet I think in the history of OS X there has only been 1...and that was very specific to the point only a handful of users ever saw it.I don't seem to remember so many issues like this with previous versions of Windows NT...

Easily fixed. Don't use IE or Office. There are alternatives. That being said, I've been using Firefox for a while now, and I'm still not sure that I prefer it over IE.LN2 wrote:The main problems in OS X actually are M$ related...like crappy MSIE and Office opening ports to check for updates or verify the serial number etc. yet leave those port(s) OPEN for any hacker to then gain access to the system.
