Stop blaming Microsoft

Apple's blaming Microsoft for the whole problem with the virus in the iPod. That's like blaming your neighbour's dog for getting your dog to get fleas. If you were more careful, it wouldn't happen at all.

And the only reason that Apple's Mac OS X is more secure is because it has so little market share that the hackers wouldn't even waste their time building a code for such a limited network.

Why I blame Microsoft

I know people who will not get their kids vaccinated against diseases which are a known threat. Not only do they put their own kids at risk, they endanger everybody around them by giving opportunistic viruses an opening. This is what Microsoft does in the computer world. Because of their failure to secure themselves from these known risks, we all have to suffer. Even though I use a Mac and in 20 years have never had one virus, I am now told at work that I have to install anti-virus software--not to protect my computer (it doesn't need protection), but to protect the Windows users on our network!! Now I have to live with the constant hassle of updating virus definitions and other crap that I never had to think about, just to protect the machines that bring in the viruses in the first place! How does this make sense?

Another mindless M$ user..
You obviously have NO IDEA how OS X works, if you did you'd
understand why it's so much more secure (nothing is perfect) than
M$...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WTF?..LOL

None (well 99%) of that made no sense whatsoever! Nonetheless
I will respond to the parts i kind of translated!

First off if my god got fleas from you're dog even know my dog
had anti flea software and his body had no blood which fleas
need to live! I would be pissed and blame you for mutant fleas..

Second.. most hackers use Linux.. The step son on Unix.. which
Macs are based on..

By network do you mean internet?..lol that one i had troubles
with.
