MacNet Journal - Tired of viruses and bugs? Ditch Microsoft

"This is the way I view it: One reason I use a Mac is that the underlying system is less likely to be attacked by hackers than if I used Windows. Sure, the Mac has some killer applications that help make this decision easy, but a big plus to running Macs as a small business owner is that the machines are easier to maintain and one part of that is that viruses and crippling security risks are lessened, at least at this point in time, just by choosing Apple products. And, since I decided to use Apple products to avoid many of the pitfalls I would face if I was running Windows, why would I then decide to hop into bed with Microsoft and introduce more of their buggy products to a machine that I want to rely on?

With this underlying philosophy, the decision is pretty easy. I minimize my exposure to Microsoft and at the same time minimize my exposure to viruses and bugs. That folks is a win-win situation."

Right on!
