Mad as Hell, Switching to Mac 1262
justAMan writes "Security dude, Winn Schwartau, has posted an article on Network World about switching his company to Macs because he's fed up with the security issues plaguing Windows-based systems. He also offers his view on why Windows is inherently flawed and why it will eventually fail because of those reasons.
From the article, 'This is my first column written on a Mac - ever. Maybe I should have done it a long time ago, but I never said I was smart, just obstinate. I was a PC bigot.
But now, I've had it. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.'"

Holy crap, I'd better stop pointing out that Futurama and The Family Guy were never very funny.

Today's war is PC vs. Linux, and Slashdot if the focal point for this cutting edge flame war.
VI vs. Emacs on the other hand... Let's just say some debates never go out of style.

My problem is when people aren't tolerant - my IT director here is a "Windows-only" person... in spite of the fact that we're a radio station doing audio production on Macs. He hates them with a passion, refused for the longest time to let them on his network, and keeps trying to put PCs running Windows 98 into the studios for doing audio... in spite of the constant crashing every time he tries.
Right tool for the right job, right? Isn't it about efficient, secure, reliable usage? In this case, the only tool I've got is the IT director.

Well, because newer=better! At least that's what all the commercials say. And, my neighbor Mr. Jones got it yesterday and I don't want to be accused of having a small penis, oh, I mean being obsolete.

Yeah, that whole downloading a file and copying it to a folder automatically (the widget bar folder) because running "safe" files was enabled by Safari by default. The horror. That just brought my Mac to its knees... oh, wait, it was fixed in 10.4.1 and even without 10.4.1 you can just uncheck that box in Safari.
