Kaspersky's CEO went on record stating that Apple is 10 years behind Microsoft in it's OS security. He further elaborates that Apple will soon find that they have the same security issues that Microsoft did 10-12 years ago.
We recently built a really nice custom system for one of our long time clients. When they approached us about purchasing a new desktop for their business I informed them about our Thalo Custom Desktop's.

When the Recycle Bin first made its appearance in Windows 95, I really enjoyed dragging and dropping unneeded files on the trash can icon and watching them disappear. It was just so cool! (Keep in mind that was 15 years ago, and the drag-and-drop capability was a new feature.)
There are situations where you, as the administrator/owner of a network or group of machines, want users to be able to run only certain applications. Parental controls, small business employers, etc.—there are plenty of reasons for doing this and a few methods for achieving it. One of those methods is built in to Microsoft Windows 7 (with the exception of Windows 7 Home) with the Group Policy Editor. This tool is powerful and offers numerous features, including the ability to limit the applications users can run.
