[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 880308, member: 24160"] 1. OS X is free as it comes pre-installed on all new Macs. It also requires no additional system resources. There is no spyware, malware or viruses in the wild that will run in OS X. There are a few Trojans now. If you stay away from downloading pirated software and "missing video codecs" from pron sites, you'll not need to worry about those either. 2.
