The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men...

Apple decided to move onto Intel Chips last year. Intel was supposedly in talks with Apple since 2003 to push for this deal and was happy to see an Apple Computer with 'Intel Inside' launched in Jan 2006. Sales have been pretty good and Apple shipped more Intel based machines than its own PowerPC based macs this year. This was touted as a great move by the folks at Apple, Intel and pundits alike. For Apple, it was a show of its superiority over MicroSoft now that both OS worked on the same platform. Intel was happy that it could overcome the 'final frontier' of sorts.


But no one accounted for the number of attacks on the new Mac OS. I read today that the security threat for Mac OS (especialy on Intel) is growing by the day. Mac suddenly seems to have lost its aura of technical superiority. This news report should have brought the smile back on the faces of the folks at Redmond. Another legend falls by the wayside.....
