You know, someone doesnt have to be a "clueless idiot" to have things go wrong with their windows machine. Being in graphic design, I have had so many problems with windows programs crashing so badly that the only way to fix it was to restart. No matter what I did, no matter how hard I tried not to overload my programs, I had on average 3 or 4 crashes a week. I've had 4 windows machines in the last 7 years, and all of them have given me problems. Many of the problems don't have anything to do with the programs I use but with all this shit going on under the hood. I am not an uber tech so I should not be required to know how to fix all those little bugs that cause my headaches. I have wasted HOURS upon HOURS with people trying to get my crashed machines back to functionality and to restore lost data on a dead hardrive, and I had it! It was enough time spent one my part, enough money spent trying to fix machines and enough frustration and anger caused by a stupid computer. I switched to macs about 4 months ago and have not had one problem. Programs work. I don't have to know all the details of windows bullshit under the hood to make it work. It loads faster than any machine I've owned and my favorite feature is that before any program can be installed, it requires my authentication automatically. In windows, thats a setting a user has to go in and set himself. With windows, there were too many things that a user had to do THEMSELVES that should have been built into the OS. There were too many things that users didnt know that they needed to do to make themselves safer that OSX does automatically and makes life a helluva lot easier. i dont think these 'people' are you call them are blaming windows for the problems but rather the intelligence that built windows. the stuff inside. windows makes a lot of it too hard. if i needed something done on my machine, i'd have to call my techy brother to do it for me because i couldn't find my way around the machine. the mac is EASIER to use. and this guy is publishing this on his blog for MA and PA, for every day folk, not for techy geeks who like tinkering with machines. Macs are essentially EASIER to use and more user friendly for people who don't know what a BIOS is or where the temp folder is. macs are safer for people who don't know how a trojan works. yes they are more expensive, but i think i put more money into maintaining any pc i had. with a pc i spent more time trying to MAINTAIN it and keep it alive while with my mac i can use that time actually working! i think thats the point that he is trying to make. instead of bashing what this guy is doing, we should look at it and see WHO he is doing it for. no one has done what appears will be a very in depth analysis - what is it, 30 parts or something? - comparing the two. and its not like he's forcing anyone to join his side. its coke vs. pepsi. democrats vs republicans. same damn thing. no one will win.
