Apple Since it's weekend, which usually equates to no news, we figured we'd follow in Engadget's footsteps by asking you, our dear and loving readers, what you would change about Apple's current Mac Pro. Engadget readers already had a few things to say - this is the internet after all. And since this is OSNews, we add a question of our own: what would you change about Mac OS X?

No, but the user is the most common way to get malware on a Windows PC, not vulnerabilities.

As OS X becomes more popular and more of it's users come over from the windows world, you can expect malware on the Mac to increase.

It doesn't matter how it gets on the computer, it's the fact that it is there. And it's only going to get worse for Mac users

Sadly, it is not the case. Most of Windows machines get infected almost by themselves... I have seen it in University labs were users can only surf the web and do not have any way to install applications.... Somehow, Viruses just entered.

Network security in Windows is not good.

However, it is true... Malware on Mac OS X could arise if more people are using it, especially if people trick themselves into thinking Mac OS X is completely safe and stupid proof, which it is not. Because no OS is.

No system on Earth can be so safe that do not let the user harm the system, because the system is for the user, and the user has control. If not, this would be Terminator, or something like it.

So users, need to start thinking.
