Actually I'd have to agree with some of the flaming replies to that article. Don't get me wrong, I know for a fact we're using the superior platform, but good points were made about his apparent very limited knowledge of PCs. Not all the flamers, of course theres PC-fanboys there going "just look at the percentage of windows users to Mac users, windows is obviously better" now this kind of thing doesnt deserve a reply and I'm actually sorry I wasted two seconds of my life reading something so ignorant, but anyway I just wanted to say that while I agree with the sentiments, this does not help the Mac cause, as its a poorly written and argued article. This sort of article can only help if people who are really sick of the constant problems with PCs can be swayed by his similar experinces and reprted happiness with OS X - not possible in this case as anyone who has had more than two problems with their PC will apparently already know more about PCs than this guy, and will be able to tell it.
I'm not talking about the Symantec criticisms although how that long spiel about Symantec buying this or that company is relevant to how good or bad PCs are I'll never know....
Like I said, don't get me wrong, I'm a Mac man through and through.
But if I was a technology journalist and couldnt get one out of three laptops working I sure as hell wouldnt announce it to the world, let alone describe the problems in such vague all-encompassing statements - why would anyone highlight their cluelessness?
The only good point he made was that rebuilding would take him most of a weekend, and calling OS X 'uncrashable' is just irresponsible and not going to sway anyone.
