The future of Windows Vista and Windows XP is intimately connected to that of the next version of Mac OS X. At least as far as Apple is concerned.

OS X may be built on a robust Unix platform but the operating system is most known for its elegance and ease of use. Many OS X users don't ever interact with the Unix underpinnings directly, while others are not even aware of them.

Why does the association between Apple's Mac OS X operating system and the term gaming platform equal comedy? Well, the answer to this is rather simple. Mac OS X from the perspective of a gaming platform is simply a funny concept. There is no other way to describe it. Gaming has never been Mac OS X's top ap... |

Accounting for 80% of the worldwide operating system market, Windows XP is ubiquitous, but with such exposure inherently comes the position of the most prevalent target for attacks, and because of the constant bombardment, also a less honorable customer perception of an insecure platform.
