1. Comment - Sears found to be using spyware to track visitors

   (Jan 3, 2008 - 11:12 PM)

   There's no contradiction in the first few comments, 9h. If Macs had 90% share, maybe there would be Mac spyware, maybe not, but it makes no difference, because Apple will not have 90% market share in any reasonable foreseeable future. To the extent that Mac's safety is from small market share, it is an advantage and will remain so, for all practical purposes. In fact, I would suggest that the best computer a Windows fan could buy is a Mac. Run Windows under the "parallels" environment, it runs at full native speed. Just disable all internet access from the WIndows side of things. Use just two Mac programs... one for web browsing and one for email. Use your favorite PC programs for everything else. Voila, the safest PC environment you can buy, because you can keep the PC side off the net, which is the source of greatest danger to it. Unfortunately, it's not a cheap way to go, since you have to buy the Mac and Parallels and a separate copy of Windows, but if you can afford a few hundred extra for a more secure PC environment, it's arguably the best solution.
