Just thought I would post this to get some other opinions and thoughts on this.
I am currently a student at Tulane University. We have an area called the laptop station where we can take out computer when we have problems. I have spoken to several people that work for this and they swear that the mac has more virus than windows! They also say that most of the viruses that they have seen are extremely debilitating to the system almost always taking down the whole system permanently. They make us run anti-virus on our personal laptops, not because they don't want our computers to carry windows viruses but because they think that mac can get all kinds of awful viruses. I know their are mac viruses, but I was under the impression that they were mainly proof-of-concept.
What do you think is going on here? Do you think that they just don't want to have to service macs so they're trying to scare everyone back to windows. or do you think that they're attributing hardware problems and owner stupidity to viruses just to try and create a chink in the students opinion of the mac platform.
What do You think?
