Snow Leopard to Meet Mac Malware
Addition of anti-malware Snow Leopard is a Catch-22 for Apple: To solve a problem that Apple should admit first that there is a problem. This is difficult when one of their main arguments is that you are safe and their main competitors – Microsoft Windows – is not.
Security Vendor Intego is the apparent discovery of anti-malware, Snow Leopard, the proof is displayed on the website. Apple has neither confirm nor deny this information.
If it is really anti-malware Snow Leopard preview on Friday, would Apple Fess up now. It would improve sales in the first few days that help Apple to forget the bitter taste of the line, could, probably from Microsoft.
There seems no reason for Apple to add the function now. The world is not suffering an epidemic of malicious software from Apple. Instead, most Mac users will continue to work their systems without any protection.
However, the addition to the protection, if what Apple has done a really good idea. If it is a good solution against malicious software and provides all the protection needed by the user, Snow Leopard a good and worthy of the expenditure.
You’ve yesterday complained that even with updated $ 10 (on a package of 5 users) Snow Leopard could cost more than it’s worth, I am ready to move. We are happy to pay a little less than $ 10 for Apple to solve all my problems with malware, even those who do not.
Of course, over time, the Macintosh is a frequent target of malware. Free ride from Apple comes at the end. It’s a good idea for Apple to make the challenge of autonomy in the future, but a free upgrade faster to more users than Snow Leopard since its release on Friday.
But there is no emergency exists, and likely option costs money (and adds real value) of a paid upgrade for less meaningful.
In a related topic, I received an email from Amazon yesterday saying that my Snow Leopard Family Pack Come Monday, if my choice and selected to provide one days. I also received an email from Apple promising delivery Friday.
I canceled the order of the Amazon and decided that the race weekend to take me by an Apple Store, in order, so I personally buy Snow Leopard, and will continue to receive faster than the Amazon expects tough to keep.
