This is one of the most poorly written articles I’v seen in ages. It actually gave me a headache trying to read it.

"...touch is connected to the screen and not anything else."

LOL!!! I haven't used a mouse in years, because the trackpads on my Macs work so well to my touch! I even create complex vector and bitmap graphics -- using only my touch. And, now that my Macbook Pro has the same multi-touch as the iPhone, I spend most of my time leaned back, with only one hand resting on the Mac's touchpad.

And that is why Windows will never catch up with Mac -- Apple is the master of the human interface -- and Microsoft is like Kerry:

they sit stunned that Windows 7 is doing so well and they are left looking foolish with products priced out of the segment

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! *wipes tear from eye* You've got to be kidding me. Oh well thanks for the laugh.

OK, first things first:

Even tho I am a Macaddict (meetings are monthly), I try to be fair. I try to read what the Dark Side has to say in their defense. So, note to the Dark Side: Make your screeds readable! Pay for an editor, as obviously Word is not a dependable product for assuring an easy read for your audience.

If you’re a member of the Dark Side, what this means is this: The writing in this article is so bad I can’t read it!!!!!

Maybe you should consider asking this writer to join your group of hackers & whackers. He has obvious talent in your art form.

Can I use it safely online without any anti-virus or anti-malware software like I do with my Mac?

I wouldn't call it "blindsided."

However, Windows 7 seems a good product, and it will be running on machines that most people can afford. Apple made a big mistake not taking advantage of the Vista debacle.

But if ten percent's all you need and ten percent's all you want, then ten percent it is.

I think Apple is close to getting me here with this 27" iMac. If I want Windows 7 I can run it on there, too!

How Microsoft blindsided vulnerable Apple with Windows 7

The same way they blindsided Apple with Vista? Very shortly thereafter everyone knew they had to quickly cobble something together to answer the questions of "WTF do we do now?" and "Do you think people will notice that Vista was a stop gap until we could come up with something else?"
