I'm glad you are sooo open minded and have seen it all and know it all, but shove your Protege where the sun doesn't shine (I heard it's real light and overall it's better than any Apple Powerbook and did you say it was real light? I forgot, you also said it was real light ...), if you must drag us all to your low standards (in computing and language alike). We all know now how ignorant and intolerant we are, it just is inevitable when reading your continuous ramblings on how windows is now at least as good an operating system as Mac OS and on and on ... kind of like a nagging child. I for one am not going to buy another Winblows machine ever, if only because you are trying to push them so hard. How much are you getting paid for annoying everybody on this list? Talk about evangelism ...
tobias. *** Evangelism? Trying to convert you? Excuse me, I have never tried to tell anyone that Windows was better than Mac, or to make anyone buy anything other than what they want. What I HAVE done, is refused to accept statements from people who simply don't like Windows that PCs are crap. Honestly, I could care less what you buy, but just because you prefer the Mac doesn't make it superior. My point all along is that OS is only one of many features of a given computer, a feature that is becoming less and less important as applications standardize and reliability evens out. Back in 1995 I was every bit as vocally anti-Windows as the best of them, but that was because there was no version of Windows that was both stable GUI. Until Windows 2000, there really was a definite advantage on the Mac side, which shifted the other way until the release of OSX 10.1. Now that both sides have worked out the bugs, it is very difficult to claim that one platform is better than the other. The simple fact is, they are both good, and each has strengths and weakneses. Perhaps I was wrong. Perhaps Mac users aren't secure enough to accept that some people might not agree with them that their platform of choice is simply better. Its just like people who like cars from brand X who simply can't understand why anyone would buy a brand y. Both get from A to B, both do the same thing, but some prefer one, and some the other. Some prefer Mac, some Windows., while other people, like me, could care less what OS is on it, as long as the hardware meets certain criteria.
