I mean no disrespect (dont want to get into mac v pc flame war) but with the Macs poor security track record, I am baffled by its wide adoption in the security community. With all its flaws at least MS appears to be taking security seriously. If it is a *nix shell you want, run Linux. I personally have a Win 7 notebbok with various Linux running in Virtual Box. That is my two cents for whatever it is worth! -----Original Message----- From: Robin Wood <robin at digininja.org> Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2010 6:17 PM To: PaulDotCom Mailing List <pauldotcom at mail.pauldotcom.com> Subject: [Pauldotcom] mac vs pc (non-fanboy answers) I've been looking at getting a new laptop for a while and I'm trying to compare a PC and a Mac. I know that a lot of security people are moving to Macs and I'd like to know why. For half the price, or less, I can get an high spec PC so why are people moving? Is it OSX, is it availability of tools, hardware quality or what? I'm particularly looking at the Macbook Pros, probably the 15". I know this will probably start a fanboy fight but I've got to ask.
