You were saying ...

I'd waste hours on those Windows problems. Even now, we have a WinXP machine, fully antivirus'd/anti-malware'd/firewalled, whose job it is to just sit there and serve our VOIP to the house. It does nothing else: no browsing, no email. Its screen is even shut off. It sits behind a hardware firewall, too. And yet, recently I discovered it'd picked up a Trojan, all by its self. How the hell?

Eventually everyone will understand about the Macintosh and the Mac OS X -- it's great...

This is an exact parallel to the 1970s, with GM versus the Asian makes. Think about the usual arguments the Apple-haters post, substitute GM for “Microsoft” or “Windows” and “Toyota” for “Mac” or “Apple”, and you’re looking at the same arguments and insults from the 1970s.

With, I think, the same behavior on Microsoft’s part as GM showed. And with the same end result.
