It says that PC users are more experienced in solving problems because their computers FU a lot more.

Nah, it is something else. The execs with their crackberries are the same. They don't bother to learn; it is all blackbox to them. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing about Macs and have a G5 at home for my daughter's art work. It is just an observation about the users. And Macs do have their own issues from time to time.

That's exactly how a good technology should be. If the engineers do it right even the most brainless person should be able to use a technology and get the right result. IMO Macs are a lot closer to that than PCs.

Mac at home. PC at work. At work I spend a lot of time trying to figure out "why the h*ll did my computer do that?" At home, not so much.

My observation is that users who have CHOSEN the Mac are generally much more knowledgeable about their Macs than Windows users are about theirs and that, in fact, they are more knowledgeable about both Macs and Windows computers than Windows users are. That does not apply to users who did not have the choice. There I find there is not much difference between Mac and Windows users... both are users who just want to do their jobs and go home and have little technical expertise on either platform.
