The Mac OS is immune from most current viruses, but, clearly, that could change. It's currently not the dominant OS so a virus attacking Macs might make the world a little less creative for a few days, but it wouldn't cripple the masses. The bigger point is, the Mac OS has not repeatedly been the target of widespread viruses enabled by its own security holes. If that happens, watch for Microsoft yes men to start blaming the OS, and Mac fans to whine about the stupid users. It's painfully predictable.
Most users seem so brainwashed by an operating system that they'll defend it at all cost.
In the past, I've praised Apple products because I don't want to be stuck with one computing choice, especially that Windows dud. But I have also criticized the Steve Jobs empire, much to the chagrin of Apple apologists who want nothing but loyalty. I don't care. My inner feminist is having a bad month. Public Eye Tuesday s events were outrageous, horrifying, devastatingly sad.
