Uhm no, because of pro tools, Soundhack, industry standards, my course uses mac programs that I'm better at ie MAX MSP, better music facilities etc.

Even if Windows offered the same quality applications for musicians (which it mostly does), the fact that you'd spend most of your time solving malicious issues and etc is why mac wins.
To bad windows has, and will always have, the greater market share :D

Or run OpenBSD which is even more secure, and can be run on her present hardware. :rolleyes:

How come no body has suggested ewido anti-malware. If you use it correctly, it will work wonders! First, install ewido and boot your PC to safe mode. Login in as the admin and run ewido and scan for any threats. Yeah, It worked for me when I had the fricken spyfalcon trojan/malware.


Also, run smitRem in safe mode as well. Site http://noahdfear.geekstogo.com/. Read and do.

Peace

Of course it would, I run linux myself, but my point was that OpenBSD is generally recognised as the most secure OS in existence, with only 2 holes found in it in over 10 years.

blasphemy! starcraft basically made the RTS genre

9 million copies of the game were sold. Thats crazy, you probably werent a gamer in 98 but it wasnt that mainstream yet.

That makes it one of the greatest games of all time, and the most played online games of all time[up there with counterstrike and now WoW]

I've had my own PC (running Windows) for about 8 years. In that time, I've had 1 virus. A virus that wasn't serious and was very easily fixable.

Or for free, get Ubuntu or some other Linux distro.

And of course market share governs what the most suitable and best quality product is.
