What is the safest computer to use?

This is a thorny problem and one that gets addressed quite a bit; and sadly, there's no clear-cut answer.

On the bright side, there are several choices beyond the cookie-cutter "Windows or Mac" question.

If you're looking to figure out what's the least vulnerable Operating System (OS), there are two listings from YAHOO NEWS that may be of interest:

1. Mac OS, SCO, Tru64 Are Safest OSes

2. Mac OS among least prone to attack

Here is a link to Yahoo's list of Operating Systems. (Some of them are even FREE!)
