Kay, I suppose if you stood outside Cupertino, your straw poll would have Macs represented even higher ;-) That's of course the problem with straw polls. They're not very reliable when the basis is from one's own perspective.
I use AVG antivirus (free) and haven't had a single problem on any of my many WinXP computers in years. Of course I keep them up-to-date, which it sounds like many of your straw users can't do as they aren't using a current version. On 6/29/06, Kay C Lan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Which may explain why I've recently come across more Mac users; and why I started my straw poll. I simply ask why they switched and whether they were using pirated OS and software. Generally the reason given was 'viruses and needing to regularly restore'. The 'Yes' to the second question usually comes in a tone like 'do you think I'm stupid, why would I pay so much for something I can get for free'. I've never bothered to delve into exactly what version of OS they were running.
Can I then surmise they don't pay for Mac OS either? Interesting people you find in your straw poll. Certainly not reflective of the millions of users who have paid for XP. Virtually every Dell, Gateway, Compaq, Sony, HP, IBM desktop and laptop have a licensed and paid for version of XP. I imagine if you don't include them in your straw poll, you will certainly get biased information. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
