[TriLUG] OT: Mac vs. PC - the 1996 edition!

[jason at monsterjam.org]

on this subject, I really liked the quote from this article..

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/02/20/vista_security_oversold/

"As Billg likes to point out, Windows is the platform on which 90 per cent of the 
computing industry builds, and this naturally means that it's the platform on which 
90 per cent of spyware, adware, virus, worm, and Trojan developers build. That 
translates into 90 per cent of botnet zombies, 90 per cent of spam relays, 90 per 
cent of spyware hosts, and 90 per cent of worm propagators. In a nutshell, Windows 
is single-handedly responsible for turning the internet into the toxic shithole of 
malware that it is today."
