It is unix operating system with apple desktop. Think OpenBSD and FreeBSD and NetBSD with apples talented designers layering the graphical desktop. [/quote] Apple or linux is not more secure, it's just much much much less commonly used than the windows so less people bother making viruses and trojoans for them, since their target audience is usually on windows. It's just market forces at work. It's easier to do windows hacks so that's what they do. [/quote] in fact linux is very widely used. try going to google.com, they use linux extensively. if you were a criminal, what would you rather crack into, a google.com webserver, or somebody's windows machine? [/quote] Windows was designed with the virus business model in mind. [/quote]
Original Message
Apple iPads don't have any firewall or anti virus apps
I wonder why they are more secure than a PC.?
