    Microsoft calls them "updates". The rest of the world calls them "bug fixes" and "security updates". If you notice, there are plenty of both in this; some very serious.

    While Windows "updates" once a month, *nix and BSD update constantly.

    Not a chance. As long as code is being written, errors will be made and potential exploits will be identified.

    Lol I vouche that!

    I told my self before I laid hands on a MacBook "its only for graphic design, i'm only touching this because of graphic design. I love a PC, always love a PC"
    I started my year as a graphic designer, and boy did I get use to that dang mac book.

    I ended up get mixed up with my alt and ctrl buttons when it came to copy/paste functions on my normal everyday home computing. Lmao, I'd never forget the day <3
    Yet, I'd say both have their perks, I'm still a loyal fan of microsoft, but apple stays in my heart too.

    The problem is... we don't have that many options.... while Mac is quite expensive, Linux is hardly seen... then we have to deal with MS
