Basically, it was along the lines of:
Macs are better because they don't get viruses. Of course, this is because unlike Windows, it's a completely new type of operating system behind it. Windows just uses the same base every single time over and over again, so it's able to get the same viruses.
My response:
" Okay, I WAS going to stay out of this, but now I can't.
First off: False. Mac, or OS X, is based off of the Linux kernal, which is one of the oldest and most secure kernals to base something off of. That's right, it's a watered down version of Unix, you hear that fanboy? Good. Now, on to part two. OS X doesn't get viruses AS OFTEN ( I say that because it still does ) because most people who design viruses do so for the Windows or IBM platform, and have no knowledge of the Unix kernal, hence why before I said it was so secure. Also, the tools and knowledge bases that most malware writers use aren't compatible what that kernal, as they're, once again, designed for Windows or IBM platforms. Third. Most people write viruses to get some sort of information out of it. Most people use WIndows PCs. Looking at that demographic, which one is going to be more productive to write a virus for? Yeah. Exactly.
Next on the agenda is this comment about Windows being based on the same base. Which is also untrue, as the kernal for Windows based operating systems has been changed more than a few times, Windows 7, if I recall correctly, has a completely brand new one behind it. "
There was also a bunch more, but I'm too lazy to get the rest.
