| Johnny K--as Macs become more popular, the hacking will increase. And the biggest problem with this is that there are no commercially available virus-scanning programs available for the Mac at the current time. At least with the Windows platform there are Kaspersky, McAfee, Norton (Symatec), and many others that at least do a halfway decent job.
Linux is safer than any of the operating systems offered by either Apple or Microsoft, but this doesn't mean that people will adapt to this, since it is difficult to learn. The same applies to Apple. Since people like easy things to use, the hackers will attack these as they become more popular and easier to use. Just give it time. |
