I use 5 Macs regularly and the time spent, basically doing software updates and updating virus definitions, is minimal and mostly in the background. Time saved is significant.

And it's not a small thing in other ways, too. I work in an academic setting where Macs are making their way in, but Windows is dominant. Today we set up a laptop for a guest to use in a lecture (last minute request). Sure enough, he was interrupted 3 times before he showed his PowerPoints. I know, you can turn off the antivirus and antispyware, but there's a real danger. With Macs, not so much. (The IS staff maintains our PCs so they're stuck with anti- duty). - John
