I think that shows Tor is human, you have a standpoint until you take

same elevate-everything-Apple-beyond-unicorn-magic (perfectly secure,
no bugs, no need to use anti-virus etc.) Apple's slogan now is "OS X
doesn’t get PC viruses", which is as dumb as Microsoft claiming
"Windows doesn't get Mac viruses".
You know that I'm not exactly a Mac fun, but they have a point. The
point is that there are by far less Mac OS X viruses than on PC, so that
many Mac users can live without an antivirus (of course, with a non-zero
risk), while the same isn't true for Windows. Well, I'm not talking of
Windows 7, I don't know; but I still recall how impressed I were a few
years ago when I was reinstalling a Windows XP box (from the original
disk, SP2 to be applied later) while connected to the network (and the
Mac Mini acting as a firewall was off, I mean, the firewall was off). I
caught a virus in the few minutes between the final reboot of Windows XP
and the SP2 installation. Really shocking. Never happened with a Mac, or
with Linux.
