Microsoft: Whistling in the Dark

On a different note, the mere mention of MSFT and Apple in blog post generates more - more interesting, more acerbic, more provocative - commentary than just about any other subject I know. sort of wish the healthcare debate had more of this kind of exchange

The Mac vs. PC Debate Was Never Clearer

After many years using PCs I switched back to Macintosh, and have never looked back. The Mac OS doesn't crash, is more inviting and pleasing to use, the machine doesn't require bloated anti-virus software, and there's virtually nothing I want to do from either business or personal standpoints that I can't do just as well (better) on the Mac. Yes, I paid a price premium. I'm more than happy with the value for my dollar.
