Spend more money up front and save yourself the headache. Buy a Mac.

Mac is great for graphics and eye candy. PCs are better for Biz apps

the only battle I'm interested in is the one between labor & management

I probably agree, but as an artist, there is a reason everyone from musicians to graphic designers use Macs. Straight out of the box they are set up to do some really cool things. If you know how to build and fix computers you can get the most bang for your buck with a PC. I've had my Mac for 4years. I've visited every shady website on the net, never had one problem with viruses or anything. It still runs fast and great. They are so much more user friendly. If you want a computer to do more than surf the web, you need to spend 4-500 bucks. Go on Craigslist and buy a used iMac for that.

Here's my two cents-

I'm a network administrator. I've runbled with the best viruses out there, and have lost a few bouts.

I theorize that the makers of the viruses are agents of the companies that make the software to fix them.

But viruses by definition are actually losing ground.. relatively few per capita are released as were in previous years. The problem is that Malware, scareware, bloatware, and about 10 other 'wares' are NOT classified as viruses, which IMO is wrong. It's another political farce designed to confuse consumers and blend the drawn lines.
And why is that? Lobbyists.

I always thought malware was not classified as a virus, because it doesn't exactly 'infect' a PC the same way a virus does. For example, I dont think Malware self replicates as much as it has to be introduced through some human engineering scheme.
But I could be wrong...

Viri don't self replicate. They require user interaction.
Worms self replicate.
Honey Badgers don't give a f**k.

In general...
