So this past weekend I helped out a friend by backing up her documents and photos on her HP computer, wiped it, and re-installed a fresh new copy of Windows XP Home Edition (legitimate copy, folks!  Although I still feel sick because I actually bought Windows…ugh).

Anywho, I was doing Windows updates, installing some new software, downloading REAL web browsers for her (Safari for Windows and Firefox), and getting all her files restored to it, when low and behold what did the anti-virus software find?  #$#%@$#@$$   I mean, COME ON!  It’s been running for 20 minutes on the Internet, and you contract a new STD?!?!?  And don’t worry if I just made it sound as if Windows is an 8-second man who has just picked up a prostitute in front of his local Wal-Mart.  That was intentional.

In comparision, my MacBook has been running since June of 2007 without any anti-virus software.  I’m still waiting for my first infection….first anything to go wrong….. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

In conclusion, practice safe sex: get a Mac.
