I just run windows 7 with bootcamp when I need it. I have all the irritation I need without having to buy another computer.
Of course now their validation process broke down and I have to go through a 47 step process to re-validate software I actually bought. Yay windows 7.

I have always had both, Mac desktop and a PC laptop for testing and interviews. Works out great, and you get the best of both world, lets not forget that some apps you just cannot get on a mac. I have some diagnostic tools which I use on my car which has saved me an absolute fortune over the years and you would never get that on a mac.

All my life I have been using PC, didn't like all the Mac hype. I used to use NC (Norton Commander) back in the days on my PC and got used to that sort of file browsing, continued to use Windows Commander, later Total Commander. One thing I didn't like on Mac, was different file browsing method. Later, I googled a bit and found out that there is Disk Order (works like Total Commander), and also found out after using my friends Mac for a month that Mac actually works better than PC. I was also worried about the file system thing, because I had all my large external disks set on NTFS (windows) which doesn't quite work with Mac.. Ofcourse, there's an app for that and now it works just fine. I totally forgot about the Total Commander kind of file browsing an am now using Mac.
I'm working in the fields of graphic design, video production and music. All that on Mac is just simpler, more stable than on PC and it all just seems to work together perfectly. I will never go back to PC.
I also have all my Apple stuff in sync with my Mac (iPhone and iPad).

Why is the OS so important? I care about the applications, and that the OS can run them well. Photoshop is, well, Photoshop on mac or pc, or if and when someone wrote a version for it, on linux. And when I go the web the browser is well, the browser. Isn't that what matters?

"With PCs running Windows 7, you can play the videos and music stored on your home PC while you're on the go, for free. Apple charges $99/year for its online service."

At first I wast like "oh jayzaz" but then I was like "haha my oh my!!"
I'm about to get my first ever apple product today. (phone) always have and prob always will have a pc for home use. easier to find cracks, games, help from friends etc.. and much cheaper.
but yeah the OS is still shite.

"Yeah, Macs don't support any multi-touch gestures. At all."
You do realise touch screen desktops were found out to be a terrible idea back when they tried using light pens to interact with computers back in the 70s. Your arm cramps up within 10 minutes

this page is full of crap? Yes.
but Microsoft doesn't have the monopole of "magic" PR campaigns,
I have a win7 partition and I'm sorry to have to say it,
but I love the fuckn OS,
it proves windows is still capable to innovate.
Immagine having to make a single os run on thousands different setups, computer parts and brands.
just that is a miracle*drinks pitcher of kool-Aid
