@ Domicinator & Plaupuis

Plaupuis is right, anyone can develop software for Mac. I at least know that Macintosh runs java, and even I can make a program that will run in java.

Domicinator is right in the aspect that Mac OSX is not impervious to viruses. I once again note that Mac OSX runs java, which always has security holes they are patching. However, Mac OSX is more secure 1) because it does not use extensions to tell the operating system how to run programs and 2) because of the lower user base, virus makers don't bother half the time. There are probably other reasons, but I don't know them.

As to Vista being a good OS, go do a little research. theinquirer.org recently published an article about Windows Vista being like Windows ME. I don't know if Vista is that bad, but the fact that people are comparing it to ME is not a good sign. Microsoft themselves admit that Vista wasn't up to par. The keep pushing back the deadline for "no more XP" and keep pushing forward the deadline for Windows 7 (which is basically a reworked Vista)

Look at my occupation under my profile.
