Well that could be right, but mac's take measures with their OS to prevent spyware/adware/viruses too, like how you have to enter your password before installing something. Programs (viruses/adware/spyware) can't just be "put" on your computer without you knowingly installing them.

Windows is, and always will be a **** and unstable OS too. It's not actually the PC itself that is the problem, but the OS that is running on it, Windows. My mac has never frozen, other than the little pizza causing me to close ONE program, which ironically is usually AOL, the worst program on the planet.

I don't get those little annoying ass pop ups from down where the clock is (on a PC) every 5 minutes saying i need to install something, update my virus protection, activate my firewall, or check for viruses/spyware/adware automatically. I swear every time I am forced to do something on my GF's PC and that **** keeps coming up I just wanna throw it the **** out the window. I tried turning if off, but apparently windows does not agree and it just keeps coming on. And it's not viruses, but a PART OF WINDOWS....that needs to keep coming up on its own because Bill Gates realizes we're all retards and need our hands held in using/maintaining our computers.

I'll tell you this....I have owned probably in the neighborhood of 8 Windows based PC's in my lifetime. After a year (AT THE MOST) they were all on the verge of taking a ****. I reinstalled Windows (countless versions on countless PC's) so many times I can't remember, bought a few different versions of antivirus software and firewalls, PC health fixers (for lack of a better term....programs that "clean up" the PC of adware/spyware/viruses), have downloaded numerous spyware/adware removal tools from the net to fix **** that was going haywire, and every time finally ended up going out and getting a new PC (dumb), until this last time when I said no more (bought a brand new Gateway and it was acting up less than 1 yr after I got it) and I went and got my IMac. Nothing special. Spent about $1600 for the entire thing (as compared to probably $1200 or so for a comparable PC) and 3 years later (this xmas), not a single whisper of a problem from this MAC.

Haven't spent a dime to even upgrade it other than buying an external HD to keep all my garbage backed up on.

Easily upgraded to Leopard too without any hassles, and I think maybe twice I had to actually go on the net to download something to make something I wanted to use work on my mac. One was actually a program to make my mac read/write to NTFS file system (completely unnecessary unless you want to write to an external HD that is formatted Windows NTFS, which I obviously did....but have since just reformatted to Apple HFS+ on that drive), and I got a version of Windows Media Player for some movie DL's that just wouldn't play otherwise. That's about it though. Basically everything I have wanted to use has either been completely Mac compatible, or has had a Mac version.

So while you may be right to an extent, certainly OS X is a far better OS than Windows (name your version), and the myth that Mac's are harder to use or are incompatible with everything is just that, a myth.

I just realized I sounded really computer geeky there, lol, but honestly, I wish someone had explained to me years ago how much better (and easier) my computer life would be if i would just go spend the few extra bucks and get a Mac, before I went out and pissed away thousands on PC's and their garbage OS Windows.
