Againe, got to agree to disagree with you. Ie. Say you are running a Mack and running Windows on it. You'd have to run say NOD 32. Just using Windows on the mack by itsself ain't totally secure IMO.

Richard and all, using operating systems in a virtual environment is more secure because what you do in the virtual environment is completely isolated from the host, meaning viruses and the like can't attack your host and vice versa.
