[QUOTE="509322, post: 778879"] A typical user is less likely to get infected on Chromebook than Windows, but yes, the awful Google Web and Play Stores are both menaces. Quite frankly, Google is negligent in the way that it handles both as they grossly undermine the security benefits that Chromebook offers. Chromebook is a platform solution versus a services\applications solution. It isn't perfect, but it's better than The Windows Cartel. The things you mention go right back to the heart of the entire matter of typical users and IT security... and that is for good security the user must have a minimum knowledge base and be capable of and willing to adhere to safe behaviors. I have observed more and more advanced users migrate to Chromebook because of the relative ease of use, fewer annoyances and problems, much easier manageability. The Windows Cartel puts out a product that is a management hassle - a hassle that more and more people grow weary of having to contend with when Chromebook does what they need and want with a fraction of the hassles.
