Life is grand

Someone needs to point out that with the switch to Intel and the ability to boot Windows, through Apple’s own BootCamp software, that there are in fact now 114007 viruses that can run on an Apple Mac.

They should qualify their advertising by saying Mac OSX, as in the OS and not just their hardware.

I got this ad in my email, sent by Apple.

(Apologies for being pedantic but if you are going to use shit advertising tactics like rubbishing other companies instead of showing off your own worth then you had better be rock solid in your message. Same with politics. Don’t go opening closets if you have skeletons in yours.)

UPDATE: I was just thinking about when the first Windows virus that looks for, and damages, OSX partitions will be released into the wild. Not unthinkable at all.
