From what I'm reading getting a virus attack on a mac is a very very low probability. Isn't that refreshing?

The theory is that computers are all going to thin client model, with most applications living in the cloud. Computers are becoming a commodity item.
Windows is to buggy to build a mission critical on, so mission critical will migrate to flavors of UNIX. All other applications will migrate to the cloud. Chrome is starting the trend with its own very light thin client OS with all the applications running on the cloud, also thin client.
Windows may vanish faster than mac, and then, maybe not. but 10 years from now people will be operating all their applications on cloud based OS.

For a choice between Linux and Mac I'd take Linux. It's free, the applications are free, you can run it on cheap PCs and it'll still be fast and while you can still get viruses and trojans the likelihood is almost non-existent especially if you set it up properly.
I am on a 24" iMac right now, have had it for 2 years, never so much as a hiccup. The screen is amazingly accurate and stunning, my photos look exactly like what I remember shooting. I have been using MACs for about 16 years and never had a virus or needed to load a driver or anything else, plug and play. I have downloaded over 6,000 songs and movies from a variety of sources and again, no problems. Did I mention that I have no virus protection?
My brothers and I have done extensive illustration and photography retouching, production of books and everything else you would do on a computer, no problems.
The standard line from Windows users is that hackers wouldn't bother to go after Apple products because they aren't big enough........ seems like someone would have gone after them by now just to shut a person like me up.

Many might say that is too much to pay but you are getting a stunningly good looking computer with a very reliable Operating System that makes Windows 7 look like last decades interface........ the wireless mouse is the absolute finest mouse I have ever touched and the wireless keyboard works flawlessly. It looks great on any desk but you can also take the stand off and put it on a swing out mount on the wall.
I spend a lot of time on my computer, it's worth every penny I paid for it.
No but Libre Office or Open Office will and you can save your work to run in Windows Office. It will also automatically open any Winoffice in their format.For a choice between Linux and Mac I'd take Linux. It's free, the applications are free, you can run it on cheap PCs and it'll still be fast and while you can still get viruses and trojans the likelihood is almost non-existent especially if you set it up properly.
Will my Microsoft Office and Publisher run on Linux?
