Microsoft can eat my fat cock

[A Black Falcon]

Apple is such a massively overrated company... they have proprietary hardware and software and do not allow anyone else to make hardware compatible with their systems (maki9ng them worse than Intel on that regard, Intel was forced to accept clones...), and on the OS front really the only difference between them and Microsoft is that Microsoft is more successful... I mean, does anyone actually think that if Apple was in MS's position they wouldn't be doing exactly the same kinds of anticompetitive things MS is?

... oh right, Apple does most of that stuff anyway, despite their small market share. Making the answer to that question obvious. :)

Also, I don't understand why people say that MacOS is better. It's just not. It's harder to navigate, doesn't have built-in support for three-button mice (making stuff like right-click menus less functional, from my experience, never mind mousewheel scrolling (a feature I really love)... in the macs the campus has in the lab you've got to go to the file menu in order to just copy and paste! Why the heck can't I just use the rightclick menu like I should be able to? Not to mention the fact that they've got no good alternative to the Program folder in the Start Menu... the Apple menu doesn't compare...)

Anyway, other than stability, which you can get on PC with something like Linux (and MS's current OSes (XP/XP64) are much, much more stable than their older ones (ME and below)!), I see absolutely no advantages and a great many disadvantages.

Oh yeah, they're also more expensive than PCs, less powerful than PCs, have no software, and most models are not very configurable (and even if you have a tower, there's a whole heck of a lot less hardware to choose from, particularly graphics-cards-wise...). What, exactly, is the advantage? Yeah, I see nothing.

Standard Apple-style case of form over function? The standard Apple way... thinking of looks first and function later if at all...
