I was planning to buy a new computer and was debating between Mac or Windows computer. I have heard that Mac computers do not get any viruses. Is that true?

An Apple Macintosh computer can get a virus but it is more likely for a Windows machine to get a virus than a Mac. some of the reasons why the Mac computers are safer are,
- Mac operating system is constantly updated and is built on a Unix kernel which is an extremely safe operating system.
- Most of the viruses are designed or scripted for Windows, as it it the most popular operating system
- Virus writers are more familiar Windows platform that Mac.
