Drop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

Err, not quite.
OLD NO LONGER SUPPORTED versions of OS X is 16% so that doesn't come as much of a surprise. "Other OS X" is 3% but whilst that can include Snow Leopard, it is interesting to note that they don't specifically list 10.6.x. Maybe its because they don't sell an AV suite for it?0 -
Of course the real test would be to get a group of computer illiterates, give half unprotected Macs, half unprotected Windows machines, then see how many were still clean (or even functional) an hour later.0
