I've been using OS X at home for almost a year now, and I find it far more useful and intuitive than Windows. I can tell my grandmother to go to a single preference pane in OS X (which is grouped with all the others in one application) rather than two or three like I'd need to for Windows.
The dock (combined with Spotlight or Quicksilver) is far more useful than a messy Start menu.
I would never run a dual-boot OS X/Windows machine, not only because I hate the Windows interface and have no use for it, but also because a license for it costs at least half as much as the computer itself.
Overall, I find that OS X is a far nicer experience than Windows.
I managed to get around this by using.Mac. AOL for a while said that teen accounts couldn't use the AIM client for IM. However, I set up a free.Mac trial account with the same user name, and was then able to use AIM. It also preserved all of my buddy lists etc.
"Contest goal: To lay to rest, once and for all, the myths surrounding the lack of spreading computer virii on the Macintosh OS X operating system, by sponsoring a contest that challenges virus writers to actually prove that they can introduce a harmless virus into two modern OS X Macs.
That was the goal of a contest announced recently by DVForge, but, due to a variety of influencing factors was cancelled shortly after having been announced."
I know that personally, I would be interested in working with the Wiki interface (http://www.wikipedia.org/, etc.) Not just learning how to interact with it or Wikicode, but how to create sites using it.
There's just other more convenient options, I think. (e.g. text-based instead of HTML) And the Narrator software probably isn't going to like the sidebar links anyway.

Resistance is not futile; resistance to resistance is.

'Gay' is not intended to be used as a negative adjective.

The relevance of this post to this article escapes me.
hmm... that's usually called a conflict of interest... and highly illegal.
Only if they're buying a Mac.
Students are even less likely to let their iPods out of their posession. Mine never leaves my sight.

I tell everyone to use Firefox (or Safari if they have OS X)

If you're blind, you probably aren't going to be using Google much.
Can you hear me now?
I don't think they'll do this, as it could jam their own wireless systems as well.
they track where you use your ATM card, too.
