<![CDATA[pikkon22, while I can\'t deny your heart was in the right place when you wrote this, there are a few things I have to call out.<br />
You wrote \"Mac OS X is more secure than any other operating system...\", which, to be honest, cannot be said with sound conscience.  Don\'t get me wrong, I agree that Macs are highly secure (with armour-clad root-level access, who could deny that?), but there are plenty of OSs out there that can be made even more secure (Linux/Unix distributions).  OS X can be made even more secure, too (with the underlying Unix base), but many user\'s don\'t know how.  <br />
Admittedly, most users don\'t have need of super-high defenses on their computer, so I\'d say the Linuxes and Unixes and OS X fall into the same grouping.<br />
Essentially...there\'s Windows, which is near impossible to secure, and then most all other main-stream OSs, which are fairly easy (if one knows how to do so).<br />
Honestly, the closer to a *Nix platform your OS is, chances are the better it will be (more secure, easier to develop on, easier to personalize).  But that\'s for a strictly developing/number crunching diet.  For all the whistles and bells come to be expected on computers these days, the best OS changes from person to person.<br />
All in all...you have good points, but I still think that the Mac v. PC debate should be settled by whom it concerns after doing a bit of research into the matter.<br />
My opinions on the topic of choice aside, it is poor writing to say that something \"HAVE [sic] been proven by scientific test so nobody can say anything\" without citing a source (even with a source, this could be phrased quite a bit better...but that\'s fodder for a writing class, not a reply box).<br />
If you have a scientific fact you\'re including for emphasis, put a little time into getting a source for that fact.  I know it can be an arduous task, but it\'ll be worth it when you see that you\'ve written a more convincing piece of writing.<br />
Again, nice effort put into this piece, but next time try to include some sources for your facts (lest they be called \'claims\' by unbelieving commentators), and tidy up the statement structure a bit - word choice can go much further than capitalizing certain words.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FComputers%2FMAC-Vs-Pc-Which-is-Best.148595%23comment248177"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FComputers%2FMAC-Vs-Pc-Which-is-Best.148595%23comment248177" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
