And what a content, virus / malware / no anti everything software equipped trio we are too!

Mac user for 8 years and loved every minute of it.

Over the years I've had:
800MHz Titanium PowerBook G4
1GHz Titanium PowerBook G4 (wish I'd never sold this one - the Ti PB's were sweet!)
1.8GHz PowerMac G5
12" 867MHz PowerBook G4
15" 1.83GHz CoreDuo MacBook Pro
17" 2.16GHz CoreDuo MacBook Pro
15" 2.5GHz Core2Duo MacBook Pro (current Mac)

Hopefully they'll be giving the MacBook Pro's an upgrade soon as I'm wanting to get another 17" MBP...

Apple have got a strong enough base that they could easily grab a significant chunk of market share - which hopefully might translate to slightly cheaper prices...

I must admit Macs are good machines. I work in the IT industry so most of my work is done on windoze machines. However, this weekend I purchased a new IMac for the wife to do her work on (Graphic design). I was amazed at how easy it all was. Simply took it out of the box plugged it in to the mains and attached a wire to the network port. Instant internet connection and it boots up much faster than any windows machine I use. next I plugged my PC monitor in to give her a dual screen set up and it just worked!!!! No messing about or buying extra graphic cards to handle dual monitors etc, it just works.
It's a very smart piece of kit and the mouse is amazing. It has a single button but can be configured to give a left and right mouse click. To scroll through the screen you simply stroke the mouse!!!!

iPhones are not secure and from a corporate perspective - I do not want my company's data sitting on them! It is a single-threaded, consumer-focused device - with security a very late afterthought. No AV package for them (being single-threaded), and there is no way to check if they have been jail-broken before allowing connection to corporate network!

For those that actually believe there has never been malware for Macs/Linux - dream on!

Here we go again.

Name the malware. Go on! What exactly are the threats to my iphone? There has never been a mac os X virus that has been able to exists and replicate in the wild. Give me an example of one!

Apple can't win with you guys. They lock it down and you all complain... people jailbreak them to make have more control and you complain...
