Unit 2: Assignment 1

Good afternoon,

I will address the "Why does Windows OS's prone to Viruses or always a target by hackers?" post.

I was attracted to this post because at work, especially with individuals that are technically savvy, we regularly have discussions on a PC environment versus Apple. I understand all the points made by the different users, especially as far as the percentage of market share they hold, their own platform administrative rights and the such. To me, all and all, any deficiencies that may be in a system still do not not provide others the right to maliciously hurt/damage other individuals property by means of viruses and the such. I do not want to defend one certain type of operating system or a PC versus MAC, but if Microsoft is used by the large of a segment, then it is so unfortunate that they are at the highest risk for damage. But, we should all take precaution to protect our property and valuable items, as we would with our home.
