Symantec CEO: ‘More people should buy Macs’

I couldn’t agree more. Or switch to linux at least :D

In response to a question from the audience at the Future in Review conference in Coronado, California on Monday, Thompson said of Apple’s Macintosh computers: “We think more people ought to buy them.” The “target-rich” environment created by Windows vulnerabilities means that virus writers and hackers have set their sights on Windows PCs, he said.

However, Thompson noted that if more and more people did go out and buy Macs, virus writers might change their tactics. And many attacks are increasingly of the phishing or identity theft variety, which target computer users independently of their operating system, he said.

Love it.
