Re: [CGUYS] Clueful Review of World's Greatest OS
John Siracusa has been writing knowledgably for Ars technica for some years now. Ars technica writes about many technical and gaming topics, including Apple, Microsoft, IBM, etc. Mike, your question shows either a lame attempt at baiting Tom, or more than a little ignorance. Mike can certainly speak for himself, but I read this as irony. TP's assumption is that any positive review of any MS product was written by an MS shill. Turnabout's fair play. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Clueful Review of World's Greatest OS
All operating systems browsers will have security issues. I have Fedora 11, Windows Vista and OS X 10.5.8 on home machines. I use 10.5.8 on a hackintosh I recently put on a nettop. I also have FC 11 on an identical nettop. The majority of the in front of a computer time, I use FC11 from an older dual P3 system that I put together. Windows Vista is on a HP desktop. No mather the OS you use; you still have to patch the hole. http://www.sophos.com/blogs/chetw/g/2009/09/02/snow-leopard-downgrades-security-misses-opportunity-improve/ http://www.computerworlduk.com/technology/operating-systems/mac-os/news/index.cfm?RSSNewsId=16425 On Thu, Sep 03, 2009 at 12:27:04PM -0700, mike wrote: I don't need to read it, I've used snow cat, it's a great solid OS.

Good review over all on both. Final line: For Windows users who switched for OSX they will probably not go back. BUT! (Emphasis mine) Windows 7 might stem the tide!!!
