Number 2 reason to buy a Mac
Security, we all love security and all have that false sense that Apple makes more secure systems.
Well, maybe it was just a flaw in the MacBook, but anyways "Mac gets hacked first in contest," not the Vista system or Ubuntu for that matter.

We also all love when our software people come out with patches quickly, and we would all assume that Apple would patch 0-days faster than so=ay Microsoft. But that mindset is tragically flawed.
