There are not many viruses for macs because malware writers usually write malware for some sort of profit, and theres no point in writing malware for macs because they symbolize less than 5% of all computers.

Macs are invincible if your not stupid enough to type your password in for the virus.

Or your password is not so simple the virus can actually guess it.

It is pretty bad for running programs. Video editing is pretty crap on a Unbuntu.

It's very good for it's intended purpose, which is typing, internet and video/audio playing.

Also, have you tried Ubuntu? Have you tried the all-so-powerful terminal?

It's an OS. That is normal, actually.

I even seen (but never even used or will consider to use) LiveDVDs. They are 4068 MB.

You meant Ubuntu Linux.

I got a gutted laptop with Ubuntu running on it. It works like glass, never got a virus and I can go to SpyroForum with no lag at all. And best of all, it's a free download!

It can also be loaded on the PS3 via the "Install other OS" option. I want to use it on my PS3 when I get one.

The Powerbook and Air are among the most targeted systems. Plus, it might not be viruses. Since 10.5 (Leopard) just came out, a lot of bugs still exist. Who's to say Vista's better?
