If Apple started selling computers at computer prices and stopped trying
to sell the latest nouveau pop art device, they'd impress me more.
Yeah, but I've got government grants that l can charge it to. So cost
is not so much an issue.

I can run Solaris in a window on my MacBook Pro. Comes in rather
handy for the work I do. But of course it's just a toy!

yeah i know; i've gone that route before. that seems to be the windows
solution to everything -- just reboot! But I'd prefer a solution where
it's all integrated.

Has it occurred to you that I administer servers that run the
most popular Internet server OSes in the world (Solaris and
Linux) and that I:
a) Understand more about security than the average user; and
2) Don't spend nearly as much time dicking with security issues
as desktop Windows users do?

You could try Cooperative Linux (http://www.colinux.org). It runs right
on top of Windows without an emulator.

Minor correction: It's based on BSD, not Linux.

Ah, the old, "if there were more" argument. I used to hear it when I
worked as an admin in an environment that was looking to migrate from
NetWare to Windows. "If there were more NetWare servers, there would
be more attacks on the OS," is how it would be argued. Curiously, you
never heard about NetWare attacks even though major banks, governments
and other secure industries used them, but we required entire teams of
people to try to manage the Windows side of the house. The reason
that there were not "more" NetWare servers was because we didn't need
them. I could easily handle several hundred users for file/print, ftp
and other services on a single or maybe a two server configuration for
major sites that needed redundancy. The reason that there were "more
Windows" servers was because when they replaced a single NetWare box,
they did so with multiple MS boxes due to instability.
But I know that this is not really the discussion ... so if the "if
there were more" argument were valid, why does Apache not receive the
attention that IIS does for cracks and hacks?

Right. That's called the "Apache principle." Always attack the software
with the biggest installed base.
Wait, I'm sorry, the "IIS principle."

All this shows is that you don't understand the Unix operating

and trust me, there's nothing they do that I can't. Plus I'm
not constrained by annoying antivirus software.
If you don't run every stupid virus disguised as an email forward or "GET
FREE PORN HERE NOW!!@!!@!@!" links on the internet, its kinda hard to get
a virus on your system.

Not true. Some viruses are transmitted via your mailers without any
interaction from you at all.

The virus has to get on your system somehow. Yes, there are a couple
that can get in via open ports and an open system, but the majority of
viruses come from malicious web sites and emails that are sent out by the
virus to friends and family who then run the virus (ex. the I love you
virus from a few years back).
I do not run a virus program on my computers as a background process. I
don't even have one installed currently. In the last 10 years, I've had
one virus make it through and infect my system.

Then you are both very dumb and very lucky. Or you don't access the
