i have macs and perfer macs to windows, but i really dont know why us mac users bother to argue with windows user which is better. Ive had windows nerds try and have a real big go at me for using osx and i just now say i like mac you like windows, do i belittle you for it, no i thought not. But serisouly as mac becomes more popular i have noticed that they are doing less to please there exsting long time comsutumers, e,g, bad techinical support and bad build quality, my ibook had to have a motherboard replacment, new ac adapator and bios, and im on my second macbook, im a student not a heavy user. Thank goddness for Jonh Lewis and two year guarantees!And anyway whats with all us 'mac people' thinking jobs is god lol
I think that when people have to depend on a system for so much of their daily lives, they rahter use a system that works seamesly, that lets you actually get your stuff done (whatever that may be) instead of fighting with it. Its costumer satisfaction I think. I'm not embarrassed to admit I will pay good money for something that would make my work day easier.
"The reason Microsoft has Product Activation is you can install it on any computer."What? You can install Linux on any computer, but they probably use magic invisible product activation to enable that feature.

Have you ever met someone NOT enthusiastic about their mac? Everyone who owns one can't seem to shut up about it.
