Kudos to Apple for finally being realistic about the security of their software. I was very pleased to hear that they enlisted the help of Kaspersky to improve security.Marfoo

but wasnt Kaspersky site hacked or something when someone click on download trial they downloaded a virus a year or a few years back xD?

plus thre was already to many threats going around for a few years now for Apple, Apple didnt want to admit it.

It's not a false claim, per se, but it's definitely misleading. They made the right decision by making things clear.

Corporate body making false claims. Nothing new. Without Steve Jobs we will see Apple slump into the ground, they might recover if they find a glorious leader though. But its gonna get worse before it gets better.KLONE360

stop riding steve jobs jock, he wasn't that great, the only reason people think hes so big is because he died before meeting his inevitible failure.

No, im not denying he made some design decisions that made the company famous, specifically the ipod, everything else was just riding the gravy train. He wasn't a tyrannical jerk, he was slightly paranoid but pretty near normal don't be fooled. The only tyranical jerk I know is hitler Apple nearly went through bankruptcy back in 98 and that was WITH jobs at his peak time. Microsoft only bailed them out just to save their own ass from the US government and its anti competition laws. I guarantee you if it weren't for the government, then apple would have been integrated into microsoft a long time ago and nobody wouldve given 2 shts about jobs. The only thing he would have been known for is his investment into cinematics back in 98 that made him a billionaire

i just want to get a hold of Microsoft and tell them now its the time to make a ad on TV that bashes Macs with the same kind of TV ads that Macs did for PCs.

apple:Hi i am a Apple, and this is a PC, we do not get viruses...

Windows: uhh yeah you do, even your own web site says you do.

apple: oh no they mean...

Windows: no no it is very clear what your web site says.

apple: but we are better because..

Windows: umm dude we have more support for a lot of programs and games...

Windows where you have all the experience with out the rip off price tag.

Apple: Windows 8 looks like a phone UI... avoid at all costs!

A nice annoying virus on Mac is something I would dream of seeing just to destroy the confidence of all the zealots and misinformed out there.

Then I'd be happy!!!!!!

Lol, you say this as Mac OSX keeps adding iOS like features. And also Win8 has the full desktop.Marfoo

I have heard so much complaining about Win 8 with many people saying "no start button, no regular desktop, you have to relearn everything...". Clearly, those people didn't know what they were talking about. Win 8 might be pretty good after all, but the metro ui is one of the most ugly and useless thing I've ever seen (it doesn't have anything gadgets or a few clicks can't do).

I love how people think Windows 8 is only Metro and not the original desktop as well.
