Now that is funny....
I love to hear MS bashers....
Where is Apple's dignity and grace?
What does Apple do that makes you think they are so great?
They make and sell visually appealing products that are for the most part middle of the road in terms of performance... which are at the same time overpriced compared to their competition.
Which is the main reason their market share will always be so low.
Im not saying Apple doesnt make decent stuff. But it isnt steller either.
Also remember Apple is a hardware company... that is forced to write software for their machines... because almost noone else does.
Heck IMO Apple's product line didn't even become interesting until the G4 and OS X. Before those it was just a pile of manure.
When Apple writes an OS that runs on as many different hardware platforms as Windows does. And when it runs even half as well as Windows does. Then you will have a reason to tout how great Apple is.
But I assure you that Apple will never even give it a try.
They dont have the development team or mindshare to even begin to support the diversity of products that windows already runs on.
Now I not saying Windows is so great either, But imagine how stable it would be if MS only had to support a captive hardware platform like Apple does.
Personally I like OS X and think it is a good OS.
But remember this Apple still writes buggy code just like everyone else does.
Maybe even worse if you consider that they have a captive hardware platform to write to.
And before you start on the virus/security problems with Windows, consider Apples miniscule market share. When someone writes a virus or attempts a hack, they dont waste their time to write it for a platform that has very little market penitration.
