Why I’m Switching to Mac and Linux
December 30th, 2005
People sometimes ask me why I would want to switch away from Windows and use Mac OS X and Linux. I sometimes ask myself the same thing. Then, I go and read the news, and I’m reminded (every day) of why I’m making the switch. People, it’s just not safe to use Windows anymore. The news is all around us. Here are some example stories I read today.
The Washington Post - Windows Security Flaw Is ‘Severe’
Foxnews.com - ‘Extremely Critical Flaw’ in Windows Discovered, Already Exploited
News.com - Trojan delivers unwanted gift to Windows PCs

Not to mention that Windows doesn’t work half the time!

I know that Windows is unsecure by default. I’m numb to this. Security flaws with MS is business as usual. I’ll still use my Windows XP holes and all until I can switch all my software to an Intel Mac ;-)
Happy New Year!
