I am not an IT professional, nor anything close. I'm always amused by Mac users who, though quick to condemn PCs, are, apparently, quite ignorant about them.
i wouldn't say it's ignorance, but rather just being unfamiliar with all of the options available. even many windows users may not know about anything other than the heavily advertised anti-virus tools, especially when a subscription to one is bundled with their hardware.
and it works both ways. over the years, i've seen many comments about macs from people who don't use them that are completely false and i've seen comments about windows
from windows users that are also false.
