Those dangers are still present on 8 or Apple.

they identify the problem and come up with a solution..




With Windows, I used to get many notifications of "security breaches"
and "security updates" I had to install, sometimes several a week. I
don't think I've seen more than a handful of those "unknown dangers"
being brought to my attention by Apple or on the Apple message boards I
frequent.

Windows is a magnet for "unknown dangers."


Windoze is not really a magnet, it is more like gravity.

There is far more mass there so it attracts more.

If there were a significant number of businesses running Apple OS,
there would be more incentive to hack them

BTW have you ever actually looked into these "security updates"?
They are usually for something most people never use. It is easier to
just delete that service. (things like Outlook for me). I have a lot
of the things you normally get without them asking, deleted or
disabled.



I haven't looked at Windoze "security updates" for years. I have enough
to read. Remember, I don't run Windoze anymore, not even in emulation
mode. My wife runs Win 7 on her home machine and if she has a simple
problem, I can address it. If it is more than that, the tech staff at
her place of work is available by phone, and if a really truly awful
problem of some type develops, I am sure she can get the machine
downtown where the work tech guys/gals will sort it out.

Your knowledge base doesn't seem to embrace the topic under discussion.
So why comment at all?

Gosh, Harry. I just read a bunch of your posts. All I can say is that it must be really, really nice
to be you.

It's always nice not to be a hate-filled, right-wing racist like you.
