“Customer satisfying surveys? Are you for real???”

Absolutely!

“Do you understand that, for a customer to rate a product, they first have to use it, and mostly, own it?”

Uh...yes. It’s difficult to rate something you’ve never used. o.O

As for the rest of your long-winded and defensive response, there’s only one thing to say “haters are gonna hate”. Don’t worry, if someday you come to your senses and realize Macs are better, we won’t hold it against you. :-)

I do need to correct one thing though:

“Macs might run windows “fine”, but, with some middle-ware to handle the OS and applications.”

Nope, Macs can boot directly into Windows and run it similarly to any regular PC - if the owner has the desire to do that.

Your next point about software is just flat wrong.

It’s OK, we all make mistakes from time to time. :-)

Then, you're absolutely wrong!

“Do you understand that, for a customer to rate a product, they first have to use it, and mostly, own it?”

Okay, there you go. You're agreeing with me. See? It's not so difficult to see the logic in my arguments. ;)

As for the rest of your long-winded and defensive response,

That's another way of saying: "I can't argue with you. I got nothing. You are right. And, I can't counter your arguments, since, your logic is impeccable." ;)

there’s only one thing to say “haters are gonna hate”.

So, why are you confessing to me that you're a hater? I don't remember mentioning that I'm a psychiatrist. I can't help you. Go elsewhere for help.

Don’t worry, if someday you come to your senses and realize Macs are better, we won’t hold it against you.

I'll admit. Macs are better than my older Pentium 4 PC which I still have laying around. But, even that old PC is superior to most Macs, since, it's got a version of Windows inside.

But, when it comes to my more current PC, Macs are at best, equivalent, but, I haven't done any tests to check that fact. But, I'm pretty sure that, my current setup is superior to any Mac, simply because, it's got Windows inside, which allows me to run any of the millions of applications ever written for Windows OS, without having to install any middle-ware, or having to boot into a separate partition.

Also, my current setup cost me less than a third of what it could cost if I were to get a similarly equipped Mac system. In all cases, the Macs lose.

I do need to correct one thing though:

“Macs might run windows “fine”, but, with some middle-ware to handle the OS and applications.”

Nope, Macs can boot directly into Windows and run it similarly to any regular PC - if the owner has the desire to do that.

Then, why even bother to get a Mac if the intent is to run Windows? Try to make some sense, for a change. Not only will you save a huge bundle of money, but, you'll be able to run any of the millions of applications ever written for Windows.

Methinks that, eventually, Apple will either drop out of the PC market, or will have to drop OSX and put Windows inside, since, there are many millions of Mac users who can't do what they want to do without Windows, which prompts them to load Windows into their Macs. I'll bet you use Windows more than you use your Mac OS. ;)

Your next point about software is just flat wrong.

I haven't been wrong yet, but, perhaps I will be some time in the future. But, I doubt it; not as far as Macs vs PCs are concerned.

It’s OK, we all make mistakes from time to time.

Then, stop making those mistakes. Remember: he who does not learn from the lessons of history, is doomed to repeat the mistakes in that history. ;)
