*waits to be called a complete noob*

But I totally agree with all those statements; especially the last one. A lot of Mac users I know say the only reason they switched to a Mac was because of the "better security". We all know that no OS will ever be the safest. Each has their pros and cons. Honestly, I can't justify spending +$250 for a poorly customized BSD distro. For me, Windows and Ubuntu/Puppy Linux are all I need.
