I cannot tell you how many times my Dad has had to re-setup our main Windows family machine.
Perhaps he was doing something wrong, mate. I can't remember ever picking up a virus. People just download and run whatever, from wherever. That doesn't mean I don't use anti-virus, but it never picks anything up.
As a gamer and game dever: PC ftw, because of DirectX. Easy as that.
Windows has enough market that few products can afford to
not be compatible with it.
I can see appeal in Mac because it comes with some nice stuff, but as a PC user I like to choose what I have (a freedom Linux users enjoy even more).
I'm Jibb Smart and I'm a PC.
