With every version of windows it gets slower and slower while the hardware requirements get larger. But the same can also be said of the mac osx. With eveery version, you have to have a faster machine, not a problem unless money is an issue. Also remember that not problems with a pc can be attributed to the os, the hardware also has its issues. Since mac went to Intel, how long before we start seeing overheating and overclocking issues? Hard incompatibility issues, etc? Another isssue is price, PC's are not just a little cheapre, they are much cheaper than a Mac, but as much as fiofty percent, depending on what requirements you have. Basic Internet computers are cheaper with a Mac, unless you have the spyware and virus problesm. There is nothing wrong with a Mac, except at the high where the price is, but we all know what Mac users will say, if you can't afford, you don't need it. I have used both macs and Pcs for years and I can say that before osx, mac os 9 and earlier wasn't all that hot. I had lots of troubles with crashes with an Avid setup under os 9. So the mac is not perfect, but what human built machine is. But don't tell that to the mac users. I can tell you after having worked at a community college where we had over a hudnred macs, they would crash under os 9 just as fast as a pc under windows. I do agree however that windows just isn't up to snuff, which is why I am still on Windows Xp because Vista and now Windows 7 is too unappealing to me. I agree with this article up to a point.
