Freedom comes with the responsibility of eternal vigilance. In order for Apple to stay ahead of viruses, they need to make changes that make it increasingly more difficult to infect. I don't think that OS X 10.0 would still be virus free today if it had not been changed, in other words. Mac Security does what Windows Security does, but are more succesful.

Even a bunch of cases straight out of the box. and the same laptop in bootcamp has never once froze on me...same computer, different OS, one OS freezes occasionally, the other never has. Kinda weird huh? I guess that ad is a little misleading.

The question is which freezes a lot more often? The answer is a resounding "PC". Yes, some Macs freeze, though in my last 8 years of experience with 3 different Macs it's never happened. They are more stable, though, on average not freezing any where near as often as PCs.

Would you mind being mroe specific? How much RAM did your comp come with? How much did you really need? What programs needed more RAM?
