I hear that alot, but I'm not sure its a valid point. Since such a huge percentage of the computers in business are Window's based, naturally the hackers, virus terrorists, etc focus 99% of their attention on Windows. But if MAC had that huge of a market, there would probably be just as many problems.

But there was an interesting test done a few years ago by a business that I recall. They put users on both Windows and Macs using spreadsheet software and word processing software and assigned each group the same tasks. The Windows users were able to complete the same tasks about 25% faster than the Mac users. This seemed to shock some of the Mac users, so they asked for tests of other software. If I recall they went ahead to test a basic accounting package on each system. Here the Windows users performed about 20% faster.

Go, go figure! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
