Antivirus XP 2008 crap

[Cheesehead Craig]

Got it last night on my computer and had my good buddy come over and spend 3 hours getting the damn thing off. Not even sure how the hell I got it as I wasn't downloading anything. It's a nasty little bastard.

If I was you I would save what I want to another disk or media and wipe the whole thing.

With Mac OS you don't have to deal with software magically showing up.

Because it's not worth the time to write a virus for such a little market share.

I laughed at your reply, but times are a changin'....

My sister and her husband (IBM Executive) came to visit me last month and he had a Macbook, I couldn't believe it because he was always so anti Mac!! I said "WTF, Mr. IBM using a Mac?" He said that they are evaluating switching their Thinkpads to MacBook Pro's. IBM could be the biggest push that Apple has ever seen. My bro in law also stated that Vista could very well be the death of Windows.

The company that I work for is 100% Mac.

Anyhow, BH...I'm just saying that Mac's are gaining more and more market share...thanks to the problem child Vista...that's all.

Get back to us when they break 15% of the U.S. market share.

The fastest growing OS is Linux.

Source? I don't believe this for a second.

I believe that is complete and utter bullshit, especially considering linux isn't an os but a kernel. huge difference. You could add up all the distros and I doubt they come anywhere near OS X.

update: I just googled linux adoption rate and have found that many sources believe linux adoption is stagnant right now. Of course its growing in the headless server farm area, but it is not where it needs to be yet for high adoption in the PC world.

more googling: Microsoft has 90.8% market share as of August 2008. OS X has 7.94. The left over is 1.26%. Get back to me when they break 5. OS X was 1% several years ago. They're rapidly growing, as are Apple stock holders portfolio's over the past 10 years.

I could care less what % of market share they have.

Ty... we're waiting.

[Zool]

We are?

[SkinBasket]

Yeah. The macdorks are waiting with the fashionable white pitchforks and eco-friendly torches.

[Zool]

Can I get my pitchfork in some sort of neon see-through color?

I have a slightly used neon red one that I'll let you borrow.

[Zool]

Is this you and the fork RG?

I think all threads about computers, phones, washing machines, or other gadgets should be moved to the garbage can. Or just delete them, they are offensively boring.

Or maybe create a new chat room, "Partial's Corner"
