Story: US Telecoms giant looks at throwing Windows out

Mac OSX is by an order of magnitude the most secure mainstream OS to date. I could sneeze on Windows and give it a virus, while at the same time I have been using Mac OSX for 4 years now and not once have I contracted a single virus or worm. (Not to mention the fact that I openly invite claimed "Hackers" to 'hack' into my computer whenever I may run into one online. I even give them my ip. I have yet to have any problems.) Once again, this is not due to market share. On the contraire many of my closest friends could spit out a windows virus in minutes. However after years of tinkering they have yet to find a vulnerability side an id3 tag possibility. (which was inherently harmless for the most part, and was fixed by Apple in a security update the following week anyway.)

It it's security that AT&T is looking for, they will make the logical choice.

But if it's price on the other hand, Linux will probably be their choice. The problem there being, most linux users are script-kiddies at heart. (Because they have to be, for the most part) Though of Windows and Linux, at least it's the lesser of the two evils.
