In a building dominated by Dell, my shiny new 24" iMac gets a lot of attention. This is my first Apple computer.
Everyone thinks it's great until they look closely at the screen and see Microsoft Vista. They all ask why I'm running an unstable, buggy operating system on an Apple. It's like I'm defying God and his subjects secretly wish to stone me.
I tell them that I'm running Vista because it's not an unstable, buggy operation system. I tell them that I'm scared that Apple might break my Vista partition with an upgrade. Which would shut me down at work and all hell would break loose. Or that I can't stand how the fonts are so fuzzy. Or that I can't stop the pointer from going into that weird slow motion mode when I slow down the mouse. Or that Safari displays most of the text on the web in double bold. Then we have the featureless Quick time that constantly crashes and that I have to use a free player (Video Lan) to see everything.
This "think different" operating system is not superior it's just plain different. Fans on both sides need to get a clue.
