Wrong.......if the Open firmware password is set you can not simply use the OS X install disc to boot the machine and change the password......not without knowing the existing password first. Now how is that less secure then a BIOS password that requires you to know the existing BIOS password before you can change it?

Ok so this Open Firmware password must be set to prevent me from using the OS X disc, then. How many average, uninformed Mac purchasers do you think knows to set this up? All I am saying, which you two keep missing, is that the Mac is much more vulnerable to a very simple attack. You cannot simply use a Windows OS disc to break into any Windows PC like I can do with a Mac (unless Open Firmware password is set).
