New Intel CEO Paul Otellini suggests if you’re sick of spyware, get a Mac.

That’s what The Register and The Wall Street Journal are reporting after Otellini attended a WSJ tech conference in California.

According to the paper:

“Pressed about security by (a reporter), Mr Otellini had a startling confession: He spends an hour a weekend removing spyware from his daughter’s computer. And when further pressed about whether a mainstream computer user in search of immediate safety from security woes ought to buy Apple Computer Inc.’s Macintosh instead of a Wintel PC, he said, ‘If you want to fix it tomorrow, maybe you should buy something else.’ “

Has Otellini been talking with NW columnist Winn Schwartau?
