I've gotten disgusted with Windows security and reliability over the years and have grown to love my Macs. But with the buzz over Vista (the new upcoming version of Windows) growing, I'm suspicious that Microsoft competitors are taking advantage of public fears by publicizing new Windows vulnerabilities every few weeks.

That said, this one seems to be legit, and a doozy to boot.

“The potential [security threat] is huge,” said Mikko Hyppönen, chief research officer at F-Secure, an antivirus company. “It’s probably bigger than for any other vulnerability we’ve seen. Any version of Windows is vulnerable right now.”

More here. And here.

So if you don't want that Mac, how about a Google Computer. Maybe you'll be able to pick one up at Wal-Mart.
