REASON 2
I agree – should not have been part of the argument. Better advertisments should not mean better computers.

REASON 3
WINDOWS CANNOT RUN MAC OS natively!!!!! Whoever told you this is lying! – You can only run something called Hackintosh on a PC – (and even then, you will have to install windows using bootcamp – so windows will run under the mac kernel – not the other way around) – Hackintosh is a hacked version of Mac OS, re-configured to work on a non-apple pc by hackers – and not by apple.

REASON 4
WELL!! You are lucky! – BTW, the author talks about rebooting – not about crashing.
Try running windows continuously for a week – without switching it off – and see how it starts to lag (if it doesnt automatically crash and reboot by then) Also – the comparison here is not to YOUR pc – but on general terms. People who only use their PC’s for email / office – will obviously suffer less crashes than others. But on a wide range – it is an accepted fact, that the MAC OS is much more stable than windows. Primary reason – is that MAC runs on Darwin. Which is the most stable backend ever.

REASON 5
you answered this yourself. The fact is – THAT YOU HAVE TO RUN AVG! Have you ever tried finding out how much resources are taken up by AVG to protect your precious PC from online threats? The fact is again – windows is susceptible to viruses while macs are not. The whole point here is not that you can or cannot protect from viruses – but the fact that Windows users need to install a virus scanner, which may or may not protect them.
And do you trust AVG?? As in – if it tells you that you dont have any viruses/worms/trojans – are you actually clean? What is the guarantee that there arent any such things on your pc which cant be detected by AVG?

REASON 6
I agree. So does Windows 7. But – Windows 7 was released in late 2009. Multi touch technology on macs has existed since MAC OSX 10.4 – released in 2006. Just re-emphasizes point 1.
Like it or not – windows follows the Mac OS. Not the other way around. Windows does now, what Mac’s have been doing for years.

REASON 7
Customer support is not having random people on the internet help you. Customer support is – when you want to replace you hard drive – Apple makes sure you do not lose anything and are migrated to your new HDD smoothly – customer support means that when there is a problem with your computer – you can get it repaired / replaced without any headaches. It means you can call someone you can trust – who will help you in one go – rather than you having to try various solutions posted by various different people.

REASON 8
Dude – uve got your facts completely wrong. The Iphone OS is a stripped down version of Mac OSX 10.5 (Leopard) – it runs the Darwin kernel and the same backend – only a phone based GUI. So technically – It is based of a Mac. AND ALSO – HAVE YOU NOT HEARD OF WINDOWS MOBILE???????? AND THERE ARE ENOUGH WINDOWS MOBILE PHONES OUT THERE! – Half the Palm treos and HTC’s and Sony’s are Windows Mobile – And that means they are WINDOWS BASED! AND – MOTOROLA’s LATEST PHONES ARE LINUX BASED! Please at least google things before you speak them! EVEN ANDROID IS LINUX BASED!

REASON 9 –
You are wrong. I am primarily a MAC user – and i have a windows desktop (which is used strictly only for gaming)- and i have used everything up from 98 to ME to 200 to XP to Vista Ultimate and now Windows 7. So to say that mac users have not used windows since 98 – u are wrong. One question to you though – HAVE YOU EVER USED A MAC?

REASON 10 –
Please understand the statement the author makes. He is talking about how over a period of time – a windows pc is actually more expensive to run – considering the maintainence and upgrades required. He is not talking about the cost required to build a pc or buy a mac.

REASON 11 -
I agree – your mouse will make a better paper weight and cost much less than a mac. Unfortunately, I havent yet seen a mac being used as paperweight to comment on this – but yeah – have seen quite a few pc’s (not to mention the blue screen that shows on them)

reason 2:
Not only another opinion but also totally unrelated to Macs, maybe to apple, but not Macs.

reason 3:
Windows can run Windows natively, oh and also it can run Mac.

reason 4:
I’ve been running this computer for about a year without a single crash.

reason 5:
AVG free protects against pretty much all viruses that you would run into in less you are going around some suspicious sites.

reason 6:
So does Windows 7, i fail to see the point.

reason 7:
First time you are right but, we don’t need customer support we have 97% of the internet to help us.

reason 8:
IPhone OS is not based off Mac it just looks like it, plus there is no Windows or linux based phone so, you can’t really argue that.

reason 9:
Mac users don’t switch Windows because they have never used anything past 98 so they don’t know how much better it is.

reason 10:
If you build your own PC you can buy a PC as powerful as a Mac that costs $1500 for $500, also how much headache it gives you doesn’t matter about the cost, because cost, is how much money you pay not how much bang for your buck you get, lastly, if you know what you are doing and/or follow the directions there is no headache for any computer.

reason 11:
My mouse is a better paper weight and it cost 1/20 of a Mac.
