Comments on: Are Mac users smarter?

A new study compares Mac-using Web surfers with their PC-wielding counterparts. If you're reading this on Windows, feel free to take your time on the big words.

They arent necessarily smarter, they just have more money.

Ummm. This wasn't Mac OS X vs Windows, it was Mac hardware vs PC hardware. PC hardware aint 'cheap', in fact it is the exactly same hardware that is inside macs. Yet, using a PC doesn't mean your using windows. There are several other operating systems such as Unix based ones.

The average person that goes shopping, they look for the cheapest price and rely on the salesperson. The salesperson gives them a sales pitch like this. " Well, yes it can do all the things that you are looking for, because of the new macro high speed multifunctional web structured fiber optic, fan cooled inductor." The battery will last 43 hours too. The price is right too, just $299.00

Meanwhile, the Mac user spends $1,952.34 and gets an OS that works, never gets a virus does all his graphic work done. Really likes his machine and keeps all the Microsoft users at bay with his Mac Book.

A colleague at work pointed out that an average family that owns a Ferrari has a lot more money, owns a bigger house, plays more golf, has many more computers than a family that owns a Kia.

So true. Mac's are for people who don't understand computers and how Internet Technology works. On a PC, when something goes wrong, and it rarely does, I can fix it. On a Mac it's just LaLa Land until it breaks. Then what? Doiky doiky doik. Might as well buy a new Mac.

this is more aggravating then anything, mainly because im sure this was a ploy to just read the article, because nothing about this has convinced me that this is nothing more then a collection of obvious trends and the author should be ashamed of themselves for sparking up this argument. this article is almost as bad as the mac commercials attacking pc's and in turn the pc users, if i was going with those i would just buy a pc. personally i think windows is pritty sucky, however macs are .... well they're worse then vista. I'll stick with ubuntu
