Yeah, get a Mac

  And for those with computers people can be bothered to write virii for because of the massive market share, I would suggest Microsoft Security Essentials or if you have windows 8, don't bother with AV as it is built in.

  And how would exactly getting a mac protect him from malware when he dual boots to windows?

    dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512 Boom. Problem solved.

      Why are you specifying such a small block size? bs=1M or more is much quicker for that sort of thing

  I'm a Mac user, and my blood boils when I hear people say this. It's so incredibly smug and lacking in any sense of social sensitivity. I've been on the receiving end. [At a moderately busy coffee shop] I sit down with my MacBook to send a few quick emails. A man -- also using a Mac -- sits at the table in front of me, facing away from me. I pull my laptop out and open it up. It recovers from sleep, and I connect to the free WiFi. I've used it many times in the past without issue, but today, I cannot get any web pages to respond. I say meekly to the man sitting in front of me: "Excuse me, are you able to connect to the WiFi?" Him: "Yep." Me: "That's strange, I'm able to connect, but I can't get any web pages to load." Him: "Get a Mac." Me: "I've already got one, thanks for nothing." I understand the imposition I made on him, but hearing "get a Mac" just had me seething. I'd never had an opportunity to say those words to someone else, so I'm not trying to claim any moral high-ground here, but I knew at that moment that I'd never say them should the opportunity arise.
