Apple invented the personal computer and every PC magazine rates its products and operating system vastly superior to Microsoft.I am typing this on my brand new apple laptop, I have yet to have an issue with it and I have had it a few months.I read vehicross.info on my iphone at the beach. I can run windows on my laptop ( why would I want to?) You can't run apple on a dell or sony or any other microsoft crap.Microsoft is popular because it is cheap, Just like the hd-dvd format was cheap, and look where that format is headed,in the sh_t can.I have a xbox, one that works, but I hear they have like a 80 percent failure rate...I wish apple would start making video game consoles and car stereos.
At work I use a Lenovo T60 running XPSP2. I have no issues. It doesn't lock up or crash or whatever you probably think. IBM/Lenovo makes a solid PC. At home, I have a personally built PC with pieces I put together here and there from Newegg.com. It also runs fast and very solid. I edit video on it, build websites, play and edit music and sound f/x, play a variety of games, watch movies, edit photos, etc, etc. No crashing. No slowness. No issues.

Funny how you say flavorless fat. Are you projecting? Flavorless fat is making a computer that comes in a bunch of gimicky colors so people gobble it up. Not to mention their huge ad campaign for I-Pod. If Windows is the McDonalds of operating systems, then I-PODs are the BigMacs of the MP3 players. Talk about trying to appeal to the masses. And don't get me started on I-Tunes either.

And you're right, I cannot run MACOS on my PC, but like you said, why would I want to? If I did that, I wouldn't be able to run HALF the apps I run on my PC.

And yes, MS is cheap, but if it works just as good, why should I pay 2 or 3 times the price just so I can have a trendy purple computer? But then again, I must admit, I am biased here since I work in IT, and basically get everything for free.

There really is no arguing this point. Some people like MAC for whatever reason, and I choose PC because it does EVERYTHING I want it to, with NO LIMITS. To me, MAC is limited. It has its place, but it is limited. And I still think MAC would be nothing without their precious little I-Pod.
