Actually, Google's "App Store" is continually bombarded with fake apps so not sure theirs is any better. I trust Apple's much more of the 2, although I only have 2 or 3 third party apps on this...

Not a clue - it's actually certified as "Unix" but only because Apple paid the OpenGroup to certify it. All I know is it just works, it works extremely well and it isn't any of the shite put out by...

Troll alert. Windows 10 is horrible. By and far the single worst OS I have used in my 30 years of computing. People use it because they don't know they have a choice and they can't afford a Mac.
