Is this one of those my OS Is better then your's ?

I can tell you why there are more viruses for the PC then the mac.
It's because the writers of these don't bother with the mac. Reason:
It's like there is not much software for the mac. Why write software for
a dead machine. Why did apple go with the Intel chip ? They used the
Power PC Chip from day one. There about to go under, So they Install the
Intel chips to save there butt from going under. Now you can Install
windows on a mac and why? All the cool software made today runs under
windows. Who remembers that apple took money from Microsoft to keep
from going under ? The only reason Microsoft loaned them this was to
prevent a monopoly.

Software writers say, I can write software for the mac and maybe make a
little cash. Or I can write for windows and retire.

And If the mac os is so safe when it comes to viruses, Then why is it
there is virus software made for the mac os ? The list goes on and on.
