I own 4 Macs and 4 PCs. I use Leopard, Windows Vista, XP, and 7, Ubuntu...There are pros and cons about each. I bought my first Apple in 1980, 1st Mac in '85, and first PC in '92. None of which do I currently still have.

Bottom line ... Apples cost more, are more difficult and costly to repair, and have just as many hardware and software problems as PCs. Ubuntu is limited in which hardware can be used with it. Microsoft offers a good product for a fair price.

They used to call Macintosh users back in the day "macintards" because it was for people who really had no idea how to use a computer. I somewhat feel this to be true.

What hurts Apple even more is the fact that their "reply ads" look like a fifth-grader put it together , and really low budget...while the Microsoft ads look like real life.
Apple is getting hammered by these ads and LIES in it`s own ads. Macs do lock up and have "kernel panics" Spinning Beach Balls are common Mac people say on the radio call-in shows.
Therefore , Jobs is a Jew...AND a LIAR !!!

BTW...the "genius" Apple showed in it`s TV advert actually has the I.Q. of an imbecile.
