You're calling him a little girl because he has bad logic? Then... ipso facto, you're proclaiming to us a love for unicorns and Barbie dolls?
In an unrelated topic: I don't think the statement is baseless. IIRC, Gates responds to "OSX had it first" with "yeah, but we got delayed in order to secure the product first" (paraphrased, of course). Shouldn't we then expect a higher level of security then?
Assuming Apple takes this opportunity to eliminate hardware defects...
Is that actually plausible? From what I've seen out of Apples response to The Embarrassment Named MacBook, I'd warn everyone away from Apple hardware.
Save yourself some trouble, here. Every time something goes wrong with this thing I kick myself for waiting that one extra day before ordering that new PowerBook. I mean, who switches a product line on a Tuesday, right?
Am I missing something here?
I just started using Mail.app and I was bummed to find out I couldn't use it like Gmail. Once a mailbox fills up past 1,000 messages or so, it's too big. Not so with Gmail.
You never backed up this point. You only talked about how it's easier to use.
It's been my personal experience that the hardware doesn't work better. After six years of working with PC's, I bought my first Apple: the shiney new black MacBook.
In under 60 days I experienced my first issue with data loss ever in my life. The system crashed due to a hardware problem, costing me over 12 hours worth of lost billable hours with the loss of the one open file with which I was working.

PLEASE update on how that goes!
The hardware simply works better.

Methinks Ubuntu calls.
I didn't read the part where it said they were having sex.
