Switch to Macs has Web all riled up

A Seminole technology security expert is surprised by reaction to
his post of frustration with Windows and Intel.

Winn Schwartau switched his office from PCs to Macintosh computers, a
seemingly simple move that created an overwhelming reaction in the
online world.

Schwartau is no mere computer user. He's a nationally known technology
security expert from Seminole, so when he wrote in his online blog that
he was tired of unreliable technology and fending off virus and spyware
threats to his office PC he triggered a torrent of attention.

"I just didn't know this was going to be controversial," Schwartau said.

In a column titled "Mad as Hell," posted Monday at the Network World Web
site and his blog (securityawareness.blogspot.com) on Wednesday,
Schwartau declared that systems using Microsoft's Windows software and
Intel processors are "a threat to the national economic security of any
organization or nation-state that relies (upon) it."

LOL! Geez Jim, an article dated over two years ago.

And what, exactly, has changed in the mean time to invalidate it?

Nothing.

Because after Schwartau's first column (http://tinyurl.com/ayuc3) where he said that he had started to switch to the Mac he never mentioned it again in his column.
