No no. Mac's are fast because they are optimized for a limited hardware and they have a limited number of software. But that limit is a problem.

eth machan ea limited scope ekadi honda performance mara widihatma thiyenawa! for instance... Final Cut Pro... While most of the other s/w in PCs(Windows) crash when working with 3 or more clips simultaneously, an apples runs smooth even with 10 videos! (Yup, Final cut pro is designed for apples hardware.. but c... it works ne..)

Don't give stupid answers. How the hell do you know which file is a virus and which is not?

most of latest viruses/Trojan horses can be easily removed coz they generate unfamiliar .EXE s and autorun.inf s and also Desktop.inf s.since ur Pen Drive is <4GB(most people have 1,2GB(mine 1GB) u can easily recognize what has been added to ur Drive without ur intention.thats d way i do with virusus.

But why can't you do that from Windows?

Yeah, viruses cud be detected rnning @ Windows Task Manager or by seeing unfamiliar files, specially exe's

Oh! Seeing them is taskmanager means you're already infected ne?

Heh heh yeah, whn infected Repair, Delete or Quarantine

So keep watchin for unfamiliar files and turn on the 6th sense to know which file is a virus and which is not

Coz there are a lot ppl out there with their pc's with hundreds of startup apps, of which they hav no idea..

Unless it hasn't already done the damage, like deleting all the files in the hard drive

 

[lasanka]

Not every virus does tht

Anyway, turn on the 6th sense to know which file is a virus and which is not, keep watchin for unfamiliar files

 

[gayannr]

coz autorun.inf.

 

[Anusha]

coz autorun.inf.

But you can disable it.
Anyway, in Vista, we don't have that problem. We can manually change autoplay options. Damn! I've already forgotten XP

not only autorun.inf but dat unfamiliar .EXEs if u suddenly D.Click one of those!

Yes, but i always forget to press the shift key and most of the times it didn't work. Problem with my timing

The shift key thingy doesn't work in Vista. It has a somewhat better system level autoplay menu. It's safer than XP's.

 

[Hustle]

Well!! Deciding whether Linux or windows is better completely depends on the circumstances.
