[quote deckeda][quote LaserKun] ... IT guy spread the FUD in the above post.
Again, that's why I maintain you have a responsibility to set the record straight for those that will listen (i.e., that new Mac user, and anyone else out there contemplating one.)
With the IT guy's public pooh-pooh left unanswered, your silence implicitly says to the rest that you agree with it.
Actually, with your note to him saying in effect, "yeah, I do what I can via Software Update to stay clean ..." that's exactly what happened. On second thought maybe it's best you didn't answer publicly.
deckeda, Right, believe me, I do my very best to set the record straight with these guys, and especially those who have come to the Mac and those contemplating the move. As probably most of us here know, we have to be very careful how we respond to FUD. I suspect I am already labeled a "MacHead" by the IT boys...
