Am I the only one who sees a close similarity between vocal Mac users and Obama supporters?

On the outside maybe, but underneath it's entirely different. Most Mac users I know are former Windows users who switched and are so happy they want to let others know there's a better way. I still use Windows more than Mac, and it constantly reinforces how much better the Mac is. It's a practical, logical thing.

Obama supporters are just blinded by the charisma or the ideology.

"Windows users who switched and are so happy they want to let others know there's a better way."

That's the case here. I'm forced to use Windows on my work laptop (so I run a Linux virtual machine for my "personal" use when traveling). My wife refused to switch, so she uses a late-model Vaio. My two sons both had Windows laptops, too. Now, I have to clean my wife's machine of malware about every three months despite a costly antivirus program and firewall. My sons' machines were such malware magnets that I'd have to wipe their hard disks clean and reinstall everything every few months. Finally I got them Mac notebooks. It's been more than three years, and not a single "support incident". Not one. My wife's Vaio continues to get infected, though. Nothing seems to stop it.
