In the Mac commercials they say things like
"PC's have 1000's of virus's, while mac only has a few".
The reason this pisses me off is it's completely false.

Get my point. They're advertising their OS...and using it to insult ALL pc's regarless of the PC's OS.
Only reason Mac doesn't have a lot of viruses is because the majority of people use ms windows as an os.
Yeah, exactly. So if people who are using macs, installed XP then they would have just as many viruses.Quote:

It's still false. They're just using people's stupidity.Quote:
