From the looks of it, windows is getting more and more like apple. AH!
So, with all the new products coming out lately, do you think windows is trying to copy the apple?
I really think windows shouldn't even bother. I mean windows xp is a solid OS, with minor problems, and it's not like it needs all that much PC power, like vista will.
Discuss.... ;)
The simple reason behind Mikeysoft making Vista is because they can, and they will also makes lots of money from it. My Dad currently has the vista Beta 3 on his desktop I personnaly think it's the best OS I have seen yet. Although it does seem thats its main upgrades are just on graphics.
And I dont think they are "trying" to look like apple, I think they are trying to look more stylish and with apple being the best looking OS out there it's likely there will be some similarities.
If they clean up the look it'd be awesome :) It's so basic... not even decent to look at. I probably wouldn't use Apple, unless i had a PC aswell because of the limited applications compared to windows. . . + gaming :P
So, whats the point of making it look good, if you have to spend MORE money, to make your pc to be able to run the OS. When the os itself will brake your wallet. They already started on the next OS after VISTA!
In my opinion why fix it or make a new one, if it ain't broke?
XP is fine as is.. Vista is just rediculous.
I also would like to see, an operating sytem, where I didn't have to use my mouse and k/b, I want to use my hands, touch screens, maybe a glove control. Why not just keep what we have WHICH WORKS FINE! And make something revolutionary? Like nintendo is doing!
Minor problems!?!?!?? XP is laced with vulnerabilities. How about you show me a virus that wiped out everybody using apple...
No matter what OS you are running, bugs happen. They are known as "ghosts" by programers. A program could be perfectly fine but occasionally it will have an error for no obvious reasons.
Ok, Xtreme.
Thats why there are SP's and Patches. Plus, if you not a FUCKING idiot, you won't get a virus.
People goto some funky wierd ass porn sites, and shit then wonder.... HOW THE HELL DID I GET VIRUS?!
Well, come on asshole, it's pretty obvious.
And the reason apple dosen't have viruses, is beacuse NO ONE USES APPLE. If apple was just as popular as MS windows, it would just as many viruses, and such.
I suppose, but i also think the fact that they make the parts and the os together has stuff to do with it.
Yes although thats a plus, you can't buy parts from other people when it breaks, you have to buy from apple.

if you keep updating your virus protection software regularly and scan every so often, you should never get viruses... unless you indulge in funky porn as bfg said. even then your av software should block it.
My god!
I WANT TO KNOW HOW PEOPLE EVEN GET A VIRUS!
If you use Firefox, use a spyware scanner, and a virus scanner once in a blue moon, you will never get a virus. NEVER.
Unless someone is really targeting you! (i.e. Don't be a douche to hackers)
yeah. oh my god. I hate apple so much... I agree with you bfg.. That makes me sick. Bill Gates has turned fag.. him and steve jobbs jack each other off now.
Haha. That was taking it a bit to far... but you have the general idea... xD lawl
I find Apple quite popular at school nowadays, its like even numbers b/w laptops with Windows and ones with OS X.
Like Schwabs said with the Ghost in the Machine phenomenon, irregularities in code are inevitable and every operating system is prone to 'virii' :P Since all viruses are just malicious exploitations of those "bugs"
I think OS X has a UNIX-like foundation, where a normal users are blocked from changing the OS environment. So if a virus would infect the computer, it would only damage the files that the user could modify, thus saving the OS from being affected. This structure is what keeps UNIX-like systems very secure and this is what Windows does not have.
But then again viruses aren't as common now its more worms and spyware.
