[gui-talk] Microsoft security essentials

[Mike Arrigo]

I suppose what I am about to say could be considered a shot at windows, though that is not what I am intending here, indeed, if someone is going to say something is better than something else, they should provide reasons for it. So, I will provide a few reasons why I think the mac operating system is better, aside from the fact that the screen reader is built in of course. The fact that it's much more difficult to get a virus on the mac has already been covered, so let's look at a few other things, particularly with applications. As someone who works in tech support, I get several calls from users attempting to install our software, and receive errors that files cannot register, or there are conflicts with different versions of the same file on someone's system. The mac does not have these problems. In most cases, the application is simply copied to the applications folder, and when it is run, it creates the preference files that it will use. If you want to uninstall a program, simply delete it from the applications folder, and go to your library folder and delete the preference files. No need to worry about shared files, and no left over entries cluttering up a registry. Clearly, when it comes to applications, the mac operating system has a better approach
