Original OSNews Interviews Some time ago we featured an interview with an... official Mac OS X switcher. A year later, we found another Apple switcher, James Dorn ("noviteo" for his friends) and we ask him a few details upon the switch. Especially with the recent price cuts on Apple hardware and the Mac OS X Panther release last week, being a switcher becomes "cool" all over again.

" By Bugtrqa (IP: ---.atis-stud.uni-karlsruhe.de) -

yea okay @stake didn't list ms blaster warnings, fired a top guy because he said bad things about a monocultre operating system. (microsoft only world)

Also apple has not said whether or not it will fix the probelms. it is in limbo at the moment.

Compared to msblaster, SQL slammer and 31 remote Internet Explorer holes(unpatched and won't be)

3 little holes with no known remote exploit is a minor deal
