Those who espouse Macs to be crappy usually have little or no experience with them. Thus, their opinions are totally without merit. As a paying hobby, I configure/repair/upgrade Macs and PCs. Speaking of crappy, let’s talk about Vista. And, I experienced Vista on two machines including a new laptop and a new tower. In both cases, it was incredibly slow and, in both cases it was bloated. Best news for me was that configuration and installations took time and time=money. Too bad for the clients because if they purchased a Mac, I would have left with hours to spare. Now, for the record, how many versions of Vista have been released? And, what are the associated costs while we’re on the subject?
On the other hand, MacOS X Leopard is due for release in a few days at one cost, with one version, and no foolish OEM, and no ridiculous activation. Where’s the adware, spyware, malware, and viruses? . . . rhetorical question. Where’s the incompatibility with adjunct software. None because developers are writing code for one architecture. So, why have the Mac products jumped the market place? . . . another rhetorical question.
Bottom line . . . until you have substantial experience in both platforms, you have no standing to make critical remarks. Best wishes!

lol apple-esque…
On another note, as long as we’re talking about alternatives to mac stories, why not run a few articles on Linux? The next major Ubuntu release is out in alpha :)

I though I was the only one who used the word “Apple-esque”…

Wow, there’s even a website fully focused on hacking the Apple TV.
That can almost be called a business now xD

We address both sides of the fence – Windows & OS X. There are some days when the pipe can get a little over saturated with Apple goodies but we’ll try to balance them out a little more. *Good thing I caught this comment, I was about to post something Apple-esque about the iPhone*

Is this UneasyMac?
At least 7 Apple stories in my RSS feed. Some others may be as well, the 7 mention Apple or Mac specifically…
