Articles like this highlight what Apple can never offer: a wide variety of choice. Maybe that's the price we pay for living with Windows.

What's wrong with Windows? It's stable, works with all software and after a year with Vista I've had NO problems whatsoever.

Apple fans don't care about "junk", we use the iMac or if can't we use the Mini. Which is sadly out dated, but hey that what makes Apple, Apple. Not happy with how Apple works? Don't buy it, its so simple.

Most people don't.

Wrong, most people do consider Mac and many make the purchase. Stop being so close-minded.

Who cares about apple? Over price Junk! Windows don't make computers just software. What can't I do with one of there PC that Mac can do.

Does this even make sense? I'm assuming you're attempting to say that the Mac isn't your choice of system.

Firstly, as you can't string a sentence together, I doubt you'll convince anyone.

Secondly, the article isn't even about Macintosh (much less Mac vs PC).

I guess if you're happy using Windows then I'm happy for you.

What might be nice is if cnet attempted to put Ubuntu on all PCs they review - lots of people want to give Windows a miss (or want to dual boot at least). Windows is becoming less important as people migrate to web applications, or open source applications. I think Ubuntu would make a good Linux to look at as it's very popular (especially amongst Linux noobs) and being free would fit well with the "low cost" nature of this review.

Please consider: these days if I have a PC "does it run Linux?" is the first question I ask (and usually I mean Ubuntu).
