Microsoft Bug Fixes: They come out monthly for Windows. Apply them. Or, make the leap to Mac OS X or Linux. You’ll experience no viruses, and fewer bad guys will take aim at you. That is a pretty strong statement.....If I switch to OS/X I will experience "no viruses"? I welcome the day when I can tell my clients they wont have to worry about viruses......so help me understand that OS/X is immune to viruses. If that were to be true, I could be selling thousands of Macs. Fill me in on your point of view there. Tnx, Vince 3. Microsoft Bug Fixes: They come out monthly for Windows. Apply them.
