The Microsoft Derangement Syndrome is always hilarious.

Back in my college years I worked part-time in a camera store. I was into photography myself and it was eye opening to see the folks who routinely came in talked shop, occasionally bought something, but rarely processed photos and never brought any in. They could talk all day about how “my XYZ 5000 is better than that ACME Model 5” and get lost in the minutiae, but, evidently, they weren’t taking photographs. They were possessing objects - the hardware of photography back in that day.

Likewise what you have a computer for is to get things ( a multitude of things) done, not to salivate over the machine (or the operating system software) that gets them done. These arguments, these pissing matches, whether coming from a Mac is better than Windows or Windows is better than Mac perspective are pathetic.

“The Microsoft Derangement Syndrome is always hilarious.”

In this case it’s both funny and sad.

That's all they are is a bunch of losers screaming that their product is better but keep scratching their heads wondering why everyone else is using the competitor.

Maybe if they stop treating potential customers like Democrats do to conservatives, they would have more market share.

My computer gets me where I want to go and I heard Windows 7 kicks ass which is why Mac users are acting like libs.

I’m beginning to think that these threads should be posted in the Religion forum.
