Embarrassingly, i did not know that it was the OS' fault that Virus and Spyware happens to Windows OS. Hey, I am in the Games side of the biz

Theirs is a very strange culture. They are highly intelligent and highly competitive individuals.

They just don't give a s**t about you or me or anyone else, it's about earning respect in their community, gettin their props.

I for one do not believe that none, NOT A SINGLE ONE of these people has no motivation whatsoever to be the first one to do something that everyone is saying can't be done?

Lack of installed base is simply a convenient answer and is plain silly when you take the time to understand and appreciate the technological challenge involved AND the psychology of those involved.

Well if the Mac OS is bullet proof then these guys will be going after it soon, right?

Please do not read any sarcasm into my reply, i am not being so. I like and respect Apple, my first PC was a IIe, we have lots to learn from them and having a great competitor is good for the entire industry.
