Getting back to the topic, simply this: If you use Windows and IE sooner or later yo will get a virus or trojan and get hacked or your sysem will get screwed up. I have yet to come accross anything in OSX that even comes close to the scary stuff I see in Windows boxes. I cant remember the last time I got a real virus in any MacOS or AmigaOS system I have. The only ones I do see are from email and are Windows versions.
