Virus scanner + Firewall + AntiSpyware + Windows updates = one happy, virus/trojan/worm-free internet PC!
Of course for music making you need none of those things, and you wont get a worm/virus/trojan if you use legit software!
I hear what you're saying, though. Mac OS is similar to the old Amiga in many ways. I absolutely loved the way that Amiga worked. I still regularly think the way PCs sometimes do things is backward when compared back to Amiga computers..... The way that Amigas didn't necessarily have to load up Workbench (the Amiga's "Windows" equivalent) to load a program, hence saving masses of system resources by loading up just the program, its related drivers, and nothing else. True multi-tasking was great. The ability to address RAM as if it were a disk drive was great. AmigaOS was optimised to the max and everything was so efficient (amazing to say they had just 1mb RAM)!
[Dreaming]If only Amiga stepped in and created an OS for PC, so that we had Microsoft, Apple, Linux and Amiga OSs to choose from!
I know the hardware constraints would be much different, though. Not forgetting Amiga has effectively been dead in the water for the last 10yrs, of course. (But they still make OSs for Mac G3s, lol!)[/Dreaming]
Otherwise, Apple OS on PC hardware should be good. Will be nice to see the benchmarks on Apple and Microsoft OSs on otherwise identical hardware. This is good news. Microshaft will be FORCED to tidy up their slug of an OS.

There's nothing wrong with a bit of gentle peer pressure.
Hopefully importable/customisable wavetables might appear before, i don't know, OS v10.9, hoho.
