Windows has worked for them, and therefore, if one thing doesn't work on a Mac that worked on a PC.. OS X is inferior to windows, in their mind.
True, but this is why there are Apple Stores....for people to test them with a knowledgable personnel at their beckon call (for the most part ). Surely he wouldn't buy a car without first test driving it, right? But he would go ahead through word of mouth only and spend all of that money on a Mac that he had no knowledge about? Again, I'm surprised this guy passed the bar (if he is actually a real person...I have to wonder....sounds too much like a troll).

I was thinking the same thing. The guy sure does sound a little bit too stupid to be a real human being.

What a complete and utter tool!

What truly scares me, however, is he is probably licensed to drive on the streets my family traverses...

and vote too...

Even worse, check out his blog. He's relishing in the free publicity! He's such a troll..there's no doubting it. I'm still shocked he's a lawyer/marketing guy. Maybe he should have a chat with Steve Jobs about what he things works with marketing.

I guess everyone deserves their 15 minutes of fame, eh?

I am shocked that you are shocked, that fact that he is a marketing guy explains everything! You know they are psycho don't you? You should see them when the are all lathered up and trying to work their marketing woo on hapless 'customers'!

I have to go sit down now... Breathe... 1... 2... 3...
(Promise you won't let the crack marketing team talk to the customer while I am gone. Promise!!!)

// This mini mental breakdown has been brought to you by the letters 'B' and 'S', and the number 'Q'.

/// I know 'Q' is not a number but the marketing dept, promised the customer it was! So we are sponsored by the number Q, don't struggle it only makes things hurt more.
