Time to switch?
Security threats to Windows-based PCs are becoming so bad that security firm Sophos is advising people to switch to Mac. But malware is not the only reason that increasing numbers of PCs users are making the switch. With the new Intel-based Macs, users can run both Windows and Mac OS on the same machine. But a lot of ignorance remains about Apple and its Unix-based operating system, so let's bust some myths.
