Good point Jonathan – I’ll note the change. Also good news that this time you won’t have to pay for your upgrade!

I know they’re not phones, but I feel that the second-last paragraph could include the iPod Touch models somehow, just to pile it on some more.
Great stuff. Keep it up, friend!

Well done. How do you come up with Silverlight, of all things, when hearing that Ballmer would be there.

@Ricahrd Whitehouse

Do you use Internet Explorer and do Google searches? If so, you’ve had (or have) a virus, even if you don’t know it. If you don’t use Internet Explorer, then I can truly see how you haven’t had a virus. Most Mac users that use Windows occasionally through Boot Camp, VMWare, Parallels, etc – don’t have anti-virus software or malware installed. They save the web browsing for the Mac, and that pretty much nixes a lot of the threats.

Congrats on not having a virus – that you know about. While I will agree that there is a stronger correlation between Windows user and “retard”, Redmond’s registry structure doesn’t help out a whole lot. But hey – backward compatibility for the win, right?

The “security through obscurity” argument you allude to has been beaten to death. If a hacker could access the wealthy Mac market, wouldn’t he do so? Wouldn’t it be a sick brag if you were the hacker to finally propagate a real Mac virus? Macs are inherently more secure than Windows – period. Not everyone has the security products you mentioned, nor the means to obtain them. They don’t come bundled with Windows.

The fact is that Windows: operating systems:: Lindsay Lohan’s crotch: average female crotch.
