When a brand has, what, 7% marketshare, it is self-explanatory that it’ll have fewer third-party accessories and peripherals for something to go wrong.

I have used my PC for over a year... not a single problem have I had with it. Neither is it crippled like a Mac.

Apple is OK by me. I love my iPod.

Yeah, people always associate windows with “plug and play.”

So what other single company has a bigger share of the market than Apple, particularly in dollar volume?

Face it, microsoft is going the way of the MSM, and monitors that can be twisted so you can’t see them while you’re typing aren’t going to save them.

Whose butt did you pull that out of? The things that go wrong most often in PCs running Microsoft, go wrong because of the OS.

What third-party accessories and peripheral are you talking about? Please tell me how my Mac is "crippled." I suggest you might not know what you are talking about. The vast majority of people who have chosen to use a Mac are familiar with BOTH Windows and Mac OSX—they know more than you do who have probably never even used a Mac—and have made an informed decision.

I've plugged the same USB accessories, mainly marketed to the PC world, into my PC and my Mac, and they were up and running more easily on the Mac. The video converter even works better on the Mac.
