Thanks you all for your insight. It's greatly appreciated!

I have been using windows 7 since the RC came out. Im using professional x64 now. I freaking love it. Vista wasn't that bad, but there were problems with it. Windows 7 is such a huge improvement.

windows 7 is incredible, it is flawless.

i am a windows user because i don't want want to pay $3k for a pc that I can get for $500. Also, I dont want to become a smug-starbucks-loiterer-with-m­y-laptop-open-drinking-my-doub­le-mocha-frappaccino kind of person.

@tomtomwolfwolf no, it uses microsoft, the whole world other than the US use linux. china even has it's own government operating system for it's security, it's based on BSD, and it kinda looks like XP (taskbar) the rest of it looks like macintosh

@Texarmageddon that's because you're lucky, on my PC i downloaded a few what i thought were legit applications, mainly what i thought was a legit VLC download, it was a worm, i could've gotten fucked up. luckily i had antivirus :) but that means i had to shell out a hundred a year for an antivirus (bitdefender in Canada) there is still a threat and i don't care how careful you are, you can still get a virus. if you use Linux, BSD or Macintosh OS, then you don't have that risk.

When I make it Bomb and plan for it to blow up at 10:00 it's going to blow up at 10:00

If I set the coordinates for a missile to hit a State in America, it's going to hit a state in America, not somewhere in Europe. People create Viruses. They have targets. Each system is constructed in different manners for one virus code to effectively hit all OS'.

[Texarmageddon]

I mean seriously if this isn't true why is Linux even lower than Mac in this whole virus scandal? It just so happens Linux sales even lower than Macs and gets even lower records in viruses.

[Texarmageddon]

@K2ACP Am I saying the software sucks? No, but believe me if a person wanted "IN" on your computer they would get it. My 95 on down to win 7 has never had anti-virus as frankly computers practically TELL you something isn't safe. Why attack the smaller share of computers huh? Why don't people understand that the main targets are Windows because they are in 90% percent of most households? Compatibility works both ways for programs and viruses.

[K2ACP]

@Texarmageddon well, for my pc, if it wasn't for my antivirus i would've gotten like 50 viruses a shitload, and i'm not a noob, no. i just said that if macs don't get viruses JUST BECAUSE they're a smaller part of marketshare it should have thousands of viruses, but it doesn't

[Texarmageddon]

@K2ACP And only FOOLS catch viruses.. DEAL WITH IT NOOB.

[K2ACP]

@Texarmageddon there are only like 10 viruses for macs. mac own 5% of marketshare. windows has tens of thousands of viruses when if macs and windows pcs had equal security, windows should have had only 180 viruses. macs are more secure. deal with it

I'm both a Mac user and a PC user... In March I got a new MacBook, and I have a Toshiba, a Dell, a 1995 Gateway 2000 PC, and parts of another Dell. I love them both, Mac is super easy and fast and has almost no problems except compatibility, and my PC's are pretty good in the case of programs, designing, compatibility, and mostly gaming. I run Windows Vista Home Basic Pre-installed by Toshiba, it's OK but I wish I at least had something else... and I have Windows 7 on it, it's awesome.
