The “A Day in the Life of an Information Security Investigator” blog by an anonymous Information Security Investigator yesterday posted an entry entitled, “Would you switch operating systems for security?” goes like this:

Would you switch operating systems for security?

I’ve made this argument many times in my blog, but with the incredible amount of media coverage I had to touch on it again. Can you imagine a computer that recovers from sleep within two seconds? A computer that looks as good as it runs? An operating system that you can use without fear of Adware, Malware, Spyware creeping into your OS? Can you live without the daily fear of “Dear $diety, what virus or trojan horse is going to try to ruin my computing experience today?” An OS that supports home directory encryption with a few mouse clicks?

And the question I get most of all: “Hey Chief, what do YOU use on a daily basis for all your computing needs?”

The answer is simple, and I will continue to plug them on a periodic basis: I use an Apple Powerbook G4 Aluminum 15″ 1.33Ghz laptop computer, running Mac OS X (10.3). You too can experience computing nirvana. You’ll find it here.
