    Well:

    1. MacOS is not malware
    2. Apple doesn’t make a habit of blatantly lying about their security
    3. As you said, it doesn’t actually exist

      Ah, so Apple just happens to be one of the good massive megacorps routinely deploying anti-consumer practices. Gotcha.

      See, it’s that gap in perception I’m interested in. Microsoft wants nothing more than having the closed ecosystem Apple has. From their Surface line to their much maligned store to their subscription-forward, always signed-in account environment.

      Why they suck so much at selling that where Apple can get away with murder is much more interesting to me than the perceived differences between the implementations, which I would argue in a number of cases are worked backwards from the brand perception anyway. Part of it is the implementation and the execution rakes Apple chooses not to step on, but certainly not all of it, and that’s fascinating.

        M$ is trying to take an open system and forcibly close it - after driving their user base by force into an unstable OS

        Apple were smart enough to start locking their shit down before home computers became an absolute necessity …and do it with a functional OS
