See, there's the problem, wide spread + Mac = Impossible due to the limited marketshare. Running Windows since the 90s, online since 95 and didn't have a single virus, trojan or dialer problem. And as for stabilty, haven't seen a blue screen or a total sys lock up for ages either. If people are stupid enough not to have protection and not to update then it's their sole problem. Still see enough users with ancient browsers hitting pages eg. | |
