Come on people, M$ windows is used across the world !!! The market share is like wayyyyyy huge !!!! But let's put this to perspective, Windows costs the USA companies huge amounts of money in security alone.
You all trying to tell me Apple is Evil but spending Billions of dollars yearly to combat what Windows has leashed on the world is heavenly?
I don't know ... letting Windows run our government seems like telling some kids in a toy shop to not to touch, a little ridiculous if you ask me  |
If you think just the fact that OS X does not appear to be susceptible to virus infection is all there is to 'security' then you are sadly mistaken. The facts as I see them are that most shops that base their network on apple products as rule don't even pay lip service to security because Apple products simply do not work well in a secure environment without serious user lock downs. Lock downs that make 'creative types' who use them go look for other jobs.
In my own professional experience owning an apple based network is usually far easier than a modern windows based network. While apple products may be more secure they community that uses them on average HATE security protocols. I work with a lot of creative types who are 'creating' things. Those things are the company's intellectual property but when I talk to them about keeping those 'things' secure they tell me to go take a hike.
It's ludicrous how many times these creative types try to circumvent security protocols because they think having a Mac makes it okay.
