Talkback I cannot take anyone's opinion seriously if they don't know that OS X is a derivative of FreeBSD and *not* Linux.

Talkback I have used Windows all my life, and as much as i have a distaste for Microsoft, and there shotty work in the past, they have done a good job with xp, compared to linux and every other OS. I believe XP has provided a good amount of credability.

Talkback Some "IT of Course" (what an ass wipe) posted a link to the story about OSX being hacked in 7 minutes.It's a spoof you moron. Read the comments. The rabid Windows zealots are in their usual rare form.

Talkback The only insecurity associated with OS-X is the fear and terror the competition feels at it's superiority in every way. There you go another Windows drone too stupid to recognize a spoof when it hits em in the head.

Talkback Yet another steaming triple coil by ZD and their handlers at MS. Microsoft can't fix their own pile of shit OS, so they are trying to pull OS-X into their cesspool to make them look like shit as well.

Talkback Half an hour, as opposed to the five minutes it would take on a PC. Ofcourse the little noob hacker would be able to take it out. The mac mini was not designed or set up with the security mac makes for it's servers to protect your files.
