Your boastful, aggressive attitude don't help you - noone cares about your "years of experience" or University degree, when you talk down to people as if they're less intelligent or valuable than you are. Why do you feel so insecure that you feel you have to bolster your comments with your earthly "achievements"? Noone cares, to be honest. Please - be nice to people, and pay them due consideration. You're not bowed down to as the source of all knowledge - maybe remember that we ALL have different experiences and skills.
Who has what he wasn't given? You were given knowledge, just as we all are.
Well, i can agree with you up to one point. I did not implied that people are 'less valuable' then me, i don't think i am superior to anyone. I just can't stand to face with statements like 'rock solid', 'modern OS(please, don't start me on windows architecture...)' that's it. If you feel offended in any way, i apologize, this is not my intent. I just don't like this junk of OS and i don't understand one thing: why windows users don't manifest they love on a windows forum? I don't go to windows forum to say 'Apple is so much better'.

You must have a lot of bills needing several computers for paying

I respect your opinion, however I have a different experience with Windows. Just don't expect you are the only one who knows something about Operating Systems and IT. You should have attended to some communication training at your University in first place, IMO.
Well, i can agree with you up to one point, and i respect your opinion. If you don't make extensive use of Windows(lots of projects, lots of online materials/documents etc) then you might not get major virus events. So i can agree with you on this point. But as soon as you start to make a heavy use, then it's a mess. I have a lot of computers because i run a business, so go figure
. I just can't stand to face with statements like 'rock solid', 'modern OS(please, don't start me on windows architecture...)' that's it. Peace

You do realize that your response is just as "false" as theirs without some sort of details, right? What year did that happen and with what version of Windows were you having viruses "every month?"
I'm not actually disagreeing with you, but people fail to put these kinds of statements into context.
Windows was and still is the dominant OS for computers. As such, it was extremely vulnerable to attacks as it was logical for spammers and those looking to grab data to attack systems where they could benefit the most. No one could have predicted the onslaught of users and hackers that came about as they internet grew.
Do you really think that if Apple somehow "won" the OS wars back in the early 90's it would not have been them getting all of the viruses?
Ive been using Windows as well since it first came out... and had plenty of issues.... but not one virus or major software malfunction in at least 5 years? It's hard to forget the past, but that's what it is, the past... and a pretty distant past in technology terms.
Sincerely,

Well, i can agree with you up too, and i respect your opinion too. If you don't make extensive use of Windows(lots of projects, lots of online materials/documents etc, heavy internet and cloud usage) then you might not get major virus events, as i already answered to other user. So i can agree with you on this point. But as soon as you start to make a heavy use, then it's a mess. After launch of win8 it was such a devastating attack, that IT's did not adopted the win8 into companies. And it's still not widely adopted because of serious security issues. Just last week i had a major attack that disabled my company firewall and antivirus solution and wiped out entire projects. OUUUUCH. I do have a strong backup policy, but i still lost a lot of in house developed tools, documents etc. So i don't know what is your usage scenario, but for me i try to use only Apple and Linux computers. Unfortunately there are programs that run on windows only, so i have few windows boxes too. Again, i have an issue with statements like 'rock solid', 'modern OS(please, don't start me on windows architecture...)' that's it. I've seen too much and in large organizations, so a wide spread base not just some home used computer, we talk thousands of users here, to take statements like this too serious.
But yeas, the fact that windows is wide spread makes it more vulnerable, but also it's architectural weakness. Because windows needs to stay compatible with older versions, it's one of the reasons for it's vulnerability. So i think we can agree on this one too. Peace
