Winn Schwartau has been a security guy for 22 years, and he's fed up with WinTel.

I want my computer to function every time I turn it on. I want my computer to not corrupt data when it does crash. I use a handful of applications: Microsoft Office, e-mail, browser, FTP client and some multimedia toys. Regardless of format, they should work without crashing.

I live on the 'Net. I do not want my browser to eat up all of my memory. In the WinTel world I need an assortment of third-party tools to try to keep my PC alive. That's just crazy.

Interesting, Antony.

But did you read the next article? It's titled: Shattered Mac Illusions. Here's the link: http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/ ... kspin.html

interesting articles, James.

But it was just one application, and there were updates for iPhoto 5.

Mac applications do crash, but far less often then Windows counterparts.

I entirely agree, Antony. "If" I could go back and "do it over again", I'd doubtless begin my computing with a Mac. Alas... I'm locked into the PC world for better or for worse. I envy you Mac users. Oh well... maybe Longhorn will make things better... eh? I know... I'm a dreamer.
