I can see where this is headed already....

The hardware of a mac is clearly superior to anything on the market (Although give sony their due they do have a go)
Hows that then? I just read the article posted above, and they state that the memory is some of the slowest on the market, it comes loaded with a cheap ass graphics card, a small hard drive, and the processor, although dual, seems sluggish (their words) compared to a similar priced PC.
The bundles software with mac is also awsome compared to PC, iDVD is worth the money alone, I have created a DVD for my wedding, my borthers wedding and a mates kids birthday.
iSync allows me to syncronise my handheld, mobile phone, ipod, online data base and the computer with iCAL and my address book, this is all automatic and free, so for instance my phone can call me 15 minutes before an appointment.
iphoto stores upto 25,000 photos, all can be resized at once in real time. itunes, well you all know about itunes.
Imovie will take any movie data via firewire from and digital cam with fire wire, you can edit crop add music and text etc etc and then output to iDVD for a DVD or back to camera.
Right, but you can do those things on a PC. You havent mentioned all of the hardware that simply isnt supported on OSX out of the box. Again, read the article above. You simply cannot argue that you cannot do certain things on a Mac than on a PC, because that would be bllshit.
Mail and Safari utterly rape Explorer and outlook express.
The article did say that this guy prefers the Mail program. As for Safari "raping" IE, is that why it was 35% slower at rendering pages than IE? It must have used up all its energy by anally molesting IE?
Anyway, I am not going to address the other points. I will freely admit that I read the article, and I will confess that the operating system looks nice. However, XP also has its strong point....
And if I may ask: Why are Mac fans so anally retentive and zealous about their choice of computer. I am not zealous, I have nothing to be threatened about or be jealous of. After all, for around the same price as your now out of date Radeon 9800, I have a graphics twice as powerful.... but of course, PC hardware sucks doesnt it?
On that note, I am off to play Doom 3.... pity you cant sample this particular delight eh?
