Mark wrote Linux not Macintosh. Open your eyes.

Intriguing idea, but I don’t know if I believe you one hundred percent….

I work IT on a University and I assure you malware for Macs exists. In the last 4 months we’ve seen more Macs compromised than Windows, despite the fact only 20% of the computers active on our network are Macs. The most notable we see is this DNS changer malware, probably similar to this (or this, I can’t tell)

Furthermore, on Linux, there is a very simple means available to people where they will never get malware. Just adopt a policy of “always install new software via using the package manager” and stick to it. Guaranteed no malware. The package managers allow free access to more than 20,000 online packages, all of them vetted to contain no malware … and the system has an impeccable record in that it has been in use for many years, for many millions of Linux users, with not one single reported case ever of a system getting malware through the package manager.

Wrong. The root of the security problem is the operating system. If Linux was as ubiquitous as Windows is now it would be attacked as often. It would certainly be compromised more as a result too. But that’s where the comparison ends. Linux is simply a much better OS security wise the Windows will ever be. It can’t stop people from doing stupid things but doing stupid things is not what’s costing us 14bl a year. It’s an antiquated operating system from a provider who doesn’t seem to care how much misery their wares cause.
