Surface looks cool but I’d hate to start worrying about viruses on my tablet. Edit: I didn’t expect to be downvoted. Are viruses not a concern?

- 013a 7y agoViruses really aren't an issue if you're (1) keeping your software up to date, and (2) aren't an idiot while browsing the internet. Modern browsers are very secure. Modern Windows is also very secure. I'd expect that ARM-based Windows is even less of a target.

- rewgs 7y agoIt's a bit lame that you're being downvoted, but no, viruses aren't much of a concern. That line is more Apple fear mongering than anything else nowadays, generally speaking.
