Things anyone offering commentary on Mac vs. Windows should remember.

1. Mac vs. PC is a religion, particularly on the Mac side.

Macs are good enough for Chloe. That’s good enough for me.

Some WinTel wireless and LAN and dial-up networking configurations are a nightmare (read: less than automatic). For some unknown reason I could never decipher how DHCP, and other advanced networking configurations get changed by the office Poltergeist. He seems to have gone away since we switched to Mac.

I...tend to doubt these assertions.

It has been my experience that Windows wireless networking setup is the most automatic of any I have used. I've set up vast numbers of laptops with wireless...and once you get the device manufacturer's interface out of the way and let Windows manage the wireless setup, all that is needed is to choose a wireless network and then enter the passphrase for that network.
Also, I have also NEVER seen a machine's IP setting spontaneously change from DHCP to static on its own. That requires intervention from a human.
I don't claim to have seen it all...but I've been around the block a few times and have seen a lot.

Hm. Sounds like a religious tract to me. In fact, I think somebody took one of the paeans to Obama, and just substituted “Mac” in the appropriate spots.
