Technically you could as they are both built in generally the same way. However macs do not usually require security as less file types are able to be run on macs because they control their own software.

What can an apple Mac do?

It can run every desktop operating system, unlike many of the other companys' computers. The Mac operating system is THE most advanced OS ever created. I have installations of Windows, Mac, and Ubuntu (Linux), I use to use Windows most weeks because I didn't have the Mac edition of Halo CE, but now I only use Windows about once every 3 months (to help a friend who has a problem with Windows). I use Mac everyday, and Ubuntu most days. They are a pleasure to use. Windows is horrible to use. EVERY SINGLE PERSON who has Mac and or Linux knows that Windows is obsolete and not very productive or speedy. NO ONE who has a Mac and or Linux and Windows chooses Windows over the others. It is only the people who have only Windows who say that Windows is better. They say that because they cannot afford a Mac AND are too stupid to get Linux.
