When your bored, hack OS X to run on a PC. :)

NERRRRRD! Actually Leopard and all the older Mac operating systems are all Unix operating systems. Unix is known to be the safest operating system out there. Ive run Macs for a long time and believe me, there arent viruses for Macs. Ive gone to so many sites. Ones that would kill PCs. Im not trying to start anything. Just pointing out facts and my personal experiences.

No, the only Mac OS based on unix is OS X. OS 9.2 and below are all apple's works and not related to unix. Though applescript is a great tool for those who know how to use it.

Viruses do exist for macs, and if I wanted to I could find one, but I'm not one to go looking for them on the net. I leave the "hacking" to the script kiddies, and the cracking to the real geniuses.

And for the mis-informed OS X has PLENTY of problems. I am an IT Manager for RR Donnelley and one of the sites i'm responsible for is a pre-press site with about 150 users. Of the 150 users about 135 of them run macs of various kinds. There are plenty of issues with macs. Profile corruption, corrupt preferences, font conflicts..etc. If I were to compare the average corporate PC user to the average corporate Mac user I couldn't say which is more troublesome.

And I wouldn't count linux as an OS for anyone. Even most windows and mac power users that I know would probably avoid using it if they could. Since its open source it evolves MUCH faster than either Windows or Mac, but its also prone to dependancy issues, and conflicts between resources. Why do I run it though? Despite its issues, its FAST as hell, uses almost no resources, it'll happily run on a older P4 with a gig of ram without slowing down even when Vista and OS X start to crawl. And when you give it the proper hardware you can do some AMAZING things with it.

I run all three major operating systems, Windows, Linux, and OS X. My primary work machine is a Macbook Pro, the desktop is Ubuntu 8.10, and the server is Vista home premium hooked up to the 360 as a media extender.
