Hall of Fame Claim Chowder

post from Daring Fireball on 20 May 2011 05:04:27 PM. © Daring Fireball

Arne Alsin for The Street, back in October 2001:

To survive, Apple has to convince Windows users to migrate to theMac platform. But since Apple is not competitive on either priceor applications, there is no compelling reason for users toswitch. The game is effectively over. Dell, IBM and HewlettPackard have a stranglehold on the PC industry that is secure,with Dell’s build-to-order model the clear winner over the longterm. […]
Apple’s story now is fodder for business historians — don’t makeit fodder for your portfolio.

Ars Technica Investigates the State of Malware on
the Mac

Excellent reporting from Jacqui Cheng at Ars Technica, with interviews from 14 Mac support specialists. The bottom line: there’s an uptick because of Mac Defender, but it’s far from an epidemic. They have a screenshot from an internal Apple memo instructing AppleCare and Genius Bar representatives not to attempt to remove Mac Defender from affected machines, nor to confirm or deny that it’s been installed.

This paragraph, however, quoting an anonymous Genius Bar rep named “Lenny”, is bizarre (bold emphasis mine):

Lenny went on. “This always sparks a debate at the bar on whetherantivirus software is necessary on the Mac. This is difficult, asthe store sells several antivirus products implying that Applesupports the idea, but as many customers point out, the sales guysaren’t shy in making the claims for Mac OS X’s security.Internally, Apple’s [IT] department mandates the use of NortonAntivirus on company machines.”

This may be true for any Apple-owned machines running Windows, but it is not true for machines running any version of Mac OS X. I asked several Apple engineers whether any antivirus software was mandated or even recommended for Mac OS X, internally. All said no. Said one, “You couldn’t get me to install Norton on OS X if you slipped me the date rape drug.”
