Turns out Apples are good for you, and especially Macs (not to be confused with a Big Mac). I understand the sentiment, but I’m not sure I follow why an Anti-Virus company would make such a specific advertisement “if not Microsoft, then Apple”. The BBC reports:

Security threats to PCs with Microsoft Windows have increased so much that computer users should consider using a Mac, says a leading security firm.

Does this say more about the OS that Sophos prefers, or that they really do not see any alternative to Microsoft for home users? When we say “non-Windows” do we automatically mean Mac OS, even when OS X is really *nix?
