Winn Schwartau moves to a Mac

Winn Schwartau is author of Information Warfare, among other books, and is a information security luminary. He's fed up with Windows and has decided to move his company to Macs. He's tracking their move on this blog. There's mention there of the tonnes of wintel issues that have driven him nuts and than his son uses linux, apparently without those problems.

Interestingly, also in the news today is Intel's new CEO saying the best short term solution for home PC security woes is to use Apple systems.

I've gone on the record saying that my PowerBook wasn't all I was expecting, but it is a simple no-hassle box for web surfing, ssh'ing and doing multimedia stuff. Plus the OSX WiFi support is just so simple compared to other OS's. On the multimedia front linux is slowly making progess, but linux wifi's definitely not at the point where I'd give a normal end-user that travels a linux laptop.
