Please, pure drivel. Like Apple wouldn't brick computers if they had the piracy issues that Windows does. Apple VS Windows is no comparison, Apple is a closed platform with very few options and a steep premium for software and hardware. Windows is not perfect but allows users infinitely more freedom and choice than does Apple and does so while working with more software and hardware and at a lower cost.
Cite the programs that have no Mac equivelent other than the programs that have no Mac equivelent, pretty typical answer from Mac folks. EVERYTHING applies as everything works on Windows and has many, many choices whereas on Apple you get either no option or very few. Windows is about options for consumers, Mac is about using a computer tha way Apple sees fit - if that works for you then great, have at it - but don't try to pass off Macs as a legitimately comparable to Windows in terms of price, software choice, or hardware choice as Apple is not even in the same ballpark.
Cite what? Cite that there is infanitely more software and hardware available on Windows than Mac? if you need a citation for that you are truly uninformed and not worth the effort it would take to inform you. Add in an iLife and.Mac subscription for many of the more popular Mac features and the more sparse, though not as bad as in the past, choices in software and hardware and the need to still have Windows unless you are just not going to do the many things that you still need a Windows computer for and the false price of a $29 upgrade is pretty apparent.
What a useless waste of font, let's review Snow Leapord verse Windows 7 with the Windows 7 PC getting inferior hardware for the test. Typical Apple fanboy dribble. The talk about the $29 upgrade but fail to mention the serious investment in other software, Apple and otherwise, just to get what Windows comes with or is easily available with the vast array of free Windows software.
I think he might have said it wrong but I believe his meaning is correct. Vista's only 'real' problem (aside from poor third party support and the inevitable issues of some of the beneficial and necessary changes) was the change from an unusually long standing XP. With Windows 7 being only an evolution of Vista the bad blood will be set aside and it will be appreciated for being a good improvement over XP (which is what Vista is as well). And as adoption occurs over time there are lots of things that we will all appreciate and that will be rightly attributable to Vista even if they only fully come to fruition with Windows 7 (security improvements, better administration, better interface, accessible 64 bit computing, and more). While Windows 7 is a change form Vista the 'big' things that are different over XP are possible, and less painful, because of Vista.
