Actually, people were buying Apple x86 laptops because they were fed up with all the issues and viruses on Windows
I always wondered how people actually get their Win machines so full of crud, mallware and slow downs. I've been using WinXP for years, and have only ever had one virus that I know of because of some illegal game (which I later bought). I don't use virus checkers, no other anti mall ware, no nothing. I have plenty of software installed, too, and no real slowdown (and I don't have a beast peecee).
Really. If people used their brains, their Win machines would stay nice. I used an old Pentium 3 peecee some two and a half years ago before buying my current low end machine. Never any issues (also plenty of software installed), except for that one time virus mentioned above.
Of course, to be on the safe side, I don't do online banking on my peecee. You never know if there is some crap running without those virus checkers. Inconvenient, yes, but nothing a linux distro on an old peecee wont fix.
