[QUOTE="NanoBite, post: 316201, member: 13565"] G'day happy420 & welcome to Mac-Forums. Welcome to the world of macs too! If you decide on a MacBook it'll have an inbuilt FireWall which you should enable but that's about all you'll need unless you run Windows via Parallel or BootCamp. Then of course, you'll need the same protection you'd need on any PC, but only for the Windows OS, not the Mac OS ... [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=309403&postcount=6"]This link is an excellent read on the subject.[/URL] Macs will play [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx"]WMV (Click Link) [/URL]with the help of Flip4Mac, which enables QuickTime to play these files. As StretchR above mentions, VLC is indispensable too. With iMovie & iDVD you can achieve this easily. iLife'07 will be preinstalled on any new mac you buy, and most likely also installed on any 2nd hand mac too. Installing software can be a little confusing when you cross over to a Mac from a PC, but only because it's dazzlingly easier to install/uninstall software on Macs and this confuses some. There is plenty of information found in this Forum pertaining to this subject. Feel free to ask any other questions and browse through the Switchers section of Mac-Forums. There's a plethora of info there. [/QUOTE]
