And it is also one of the reasons that Gates is continuing to make a killing with his crappy OS. Everybody wants compatibility. That's all fine and good, but at what cost? Crappy OS, installing firewalls and other such expensive add-ons, constantly vunerable to hacks and attacks, and virii that comes down the pipe, spyware clogging up your machine to it dies, an OS that is in constant need of attention. Sorry friend, I want a computer that I can work with, not have to work on.

But interestingly enough, the Mac OS is significantly harder to develop virii for. It helps a great deal to program the OS for a specific suite of hardware, rather than developing a one size fits all OS that runs poorly.

So hey, keep on buying those Wintel boxes friend, please. Let the hackers and attackers go after the largest market share, while I'll keep right on going, as your Wintel boxe continues to crash and burn.
