It seems no person wants to answer the questions I have asked previously about Windoz. Here they are again.
1. How does one make a copy / image of what is on the screen?
2. Is it possible to make a pdf file of a document such as of a banking site?
3. Are files and folders dragged and dropped to move / copy them to another location?

nope... sorry.
true, but you can just buy some...
1) they preach safety, sharing everything isn't exactly safe.
2) usually setting up sharing involves changing a preference. "Command+,"
Again, Office for Mac. If you already have a Pages doc and need a Word doc copy and paste and maybe a few changes needed.
In my experience Mac applications have been easier to use than Windows.
If you want to trade "color" for functionality go ahead. Colored cases are available for laptops and not too expensive.
Now after all that, most the "reasons" you find in their "Top 10" are easily achieved on a Mac.
I own a Windows XP desktop, played around with the Windows 7 Beta on my Mac in bootcamp, and I have tried to be swayed by others using Windows 7. Besides the larger range of applications, games, and software in general for Windows, I have found that getting things done on the Mac is easier and most of all FASTER than completing tasks on any Windows OS.

oh geez that super hard to find $10 "dongle". oh please...
Does "out of the box" imply that the user doesn't know OSX? this is infact possible.
Office for Mac isn't much more expensive than the Windows version of Office.

It has been said so often
Apple is a hardware company.
Microsoft is a software company.
Any competition is perceived.
I'll take a stab at it.
1. You can use the Snipping tool, or you can just press the print button on the keyboard, and pasted on an image program like paint, paint.net, photoshop. The short cut key for paste is CTRL + V. Oh you can also paste it on programs like Wordpad and I assume Word, and then save the image.
2. Not sure of the question. Perhaps if you save the page, open it with Word and then saving it as a PDF. But I don't deal with PDFs so I don't know.
3. You can copy them, or cut them by right clicking on the file and selecting copy or cut, or you can highlight the file and press CTRL + C to copy it, or CTRL + X to cut them, and you can paste it in another location by right clicking on that location and selecting paste, or by going to that location and pressing CTRL + V. Or you can grab the file and drag it to the new location, or you can grab the file with the right mouse button to the new location, and tiny window will pop out asking you if you want to move it there or copy it there.
Lol this part got me laughing: Things just don't work the same way on Macs if you're used to a PC. For example, the mouse works differently
They must still think that Apple Mice come with only one click. Sounds like libel to me.

Who's fighting who?
I find it strange that the giant with 90 odd percent of the market share is going down the road of "my OS is better than your OS". Apple literally have to fight for each and every new customer. These are the customers who don't know what Macs are, if they are compatible, if they are usable and whatever other opinion has been formed in their minds.
Windows on the other hand is the "default" OS. The majority of non Mac users I come across professionally almost don't realise that there are other OS's out there, thus they use Windows by default.

The Answer to Question 2 is this:
From the file menu, hit print. In the dialog box that comes up, you should see the word PDF. If you hit that you are presented with the option of saving the webpage as a PDF. I have done it many times.
Hope that helps
Just the fact that you use a Macbook Air for gaming sorta brings down your point.
True, but the graphics cards offered by Apple are garbage for the price it takes to make anything that could be considered a "gaming" computer.
Q: Where are your files?
A: They are in the folders to which your saved / copied them. And, furthermore, icons on the Desktop are built from right to left in Mac OS X.
Q: You don't want to use a WHAT to copy files?
A: Simply drag and drop from where they are to where you want them.
If you are really having such problems, you should have bought a book on OS X.
Someone has done a projection and it ain't pretty
Microsoft plotted out their declining relevance and found both cash cows died in 2020.
Live for today!
Here are the six main arguments:
● Macs might spoil your fun.
● Macs can take time to learn.
● Macs don't work as well at work or at school.
● Macs don't like to share.
● Macs might not like your PC stuff.
● Macs don't let you choose.
They dumbed this down from a concentrate of nearly pure FUD! These don't even make sense to any intelligent person.

If there's a Mac version of a program you need, you'll have to buy it again and relearn how to use it on a Mac.
This should help their Office for Mac sales.

My mouse (Logitech MX518) does not track as smooth or exact as it does on Windows 7. It's very noticeable while playing games, to the point of not being worth playing on OS X.
My point is that the fundamentals of the mouse are still the same. Although can you explain your point, pretty much all mice are interchangeable with Mac and PC.
I find it a little hypocritical that Apple casual users are saying all this crap like "Oh Microsoft is ruining it's rep, or that Microsoft is making a fool of themselves...or that Microsoft needs to be more creative and stop copying others" Even though Apple was doing the same thing a few months back with their Apple vs PC Campaign. They were both doing the same thing, explaining the plus side of their products and why they are better.
Honestly if you actually care about your products, then enjoy them and quit acting like premature adolescents who bicker about who has the better Pokemon (can't believe Pokemon is a real word according to Firefox dictionary).
To say that Apple never crashes or it never breaks down is very subjective, yeah if you do casual browsing of the web, or watch a movie then your computer is not going to crash. I've use a Mac Pro 2.66 Ghz 2006 model at work handling HD footage and mini DV. I still have to force quit once in awhile because something froze or is not responding. So to say that all PC's suck because they are unreliable is quite outlandish. No computer is perfect.
The only reason why I am purchasing a mac is to use it for professional uses, FCP. If I could get FCP on a PC I wouldn't even bother spending 1200+$ on a descent spec'd computer.
Also Microsoft isn't being original with its ad campaign is stupid. Technically Apple isn't being original either with using that Ad campaign, think of Politicians. I'm sure any politician has said "this is why I'm better, and this is why he/she sucks". Just allowing that ad campaign to sway you makes you a sheep who follows when told. Did you even put any effort as to see why Apple was better than PC?
I've been using my Toshiba laptop for 3 years now and it's still in working condition. Of course I'm not going to use it for video editing, because it was never designed for that purpose. But I can still scrape out two - three years of browsing the web with it. Which is pretty much what most trendy fanboys do with their Apple.
The only Apple users I can accept, are those who use Apple's capabilities for it's designed usage. Not to make themselves look cooler just because they spent the cash. Look at people who buy from Starbucks.
