Viruses and PCs

I disgust [sic] the latest internet worm on Jan 17, which today impacted the internet significantly, as well as affecting my employer’s internal network (I’m sure IT curses the day they decided to allow Windows). Viruses are a monstrous national security threat stunning in their potential for widespread harm. What happens if 9.5 million PCs suddenly are used against key government installations, including power plants and military bases? I long for the good old days where viruses just erased the hard drive.

Read PC or Mac — Making a Sensible Choice. I wish Apple would come more from Service by offering more affordable Macs, or allowing Mac OS X to run on PC hardware, both of which could be done while maintaining or enhancing profitability.
