-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Which is why my primary system is not OS X, but rather Yellow Dog Linux (YDL)!
I don't run Parallels or any windows OS within OS X as I always understood that as OS X got bigger, running a guest OS would make it slower still. And of course, what you stated is very true; OS X is susceptible to infection. The Mac community has been very fortunate but I'm not sure how long that will last. In any case, it's not my worry as I'll eventually be moving onto to the Cell anyway where I can continue to run YDL and explore technical interests which are not possible on Intel or other systems. I believe that no one has to put up with Windows or OS X, if they don't wish to. I'm sure that if the issue was considered thoroughly a good amount of work could be switched to open source programs and Linux. Also if more understood that better processing capacity within any architecture is possible within Linux perhaps that might be a solid argument enabling us to become more efficient and minimize waste.
