Exactly. No one is going to win over the Mac crowd without some serious waterboarding. Yet most people get tired of the lies. Mac has a fine product, and I can see the appeal in certain areas. Yet the amount of downright wrong information that is thrown out is mind boggling.
Most of the Mac plusses are also available for PC's. The only things that are not are the Mac OS and some Mac software. What I love is the people that act like Microsoft is some evil corporation when they create software that can run on Mac or PC, and Apple only makes an OS and software that will only run on their stuff. Why? Because they know they have zero hardware advantages, and the only way to protect their hardware business is with exclusive software. So you pay a premium for hardware that is the same as PC's and say "hey, look at the software I got with it." No, you paid the extra for the software. A lot more compared to comparable Windows compatible software. If you are willing to pay the premium for that software, great. Yet don't pretend Mac uses some magical Mac only hardware. 5+ years ago, yeah. Yet Apple figured out that made no sense.
