No, it’s a way of saying: “Your comprehension, logic and perspicuity are abysmal, and I don’t have the spare time for endless circular arguments with the clueless.”

Oh, that's so cute.

Trying to win an argument with words, but, no facts. Being cute, doesn't with an argument that requires you understand the facts. So, try again.

I’ll leave it for the two or three people who actually read this thread from here out to determine who’s closer to the truth.

Oh, look! More cuteness. You must've been a beautiful baby, with so much cuteness surrounding you.

Most other people in the thread wouldn't know anything about the issue, or about which one of us is right or wrong. But, most people in the world have spoken, and the winner is....

WINDOWS!!!!! Any flavor!

See how easy it is to win with the facts? Fact: Windows is used in over 90% of PCs, and, for many reasons. I'll let you figure out what those reasons are. (Yeah, I'm giving you the chance to continue deceiving yourself).

Now I’ll leave you with the last word, as I’m sure you’ll insist. ;-)

Wrong tact. Try facts. You don't have the facts, while I do. Having the last word doesn't win the argument, but, having the facts on my side, will always with the argument for me. ;) ;) :-)

IBM produces the PC, which due to IBM's power at the time made it an industry standard. Then Compaq cloned it legally (it was supposed to be a closed hardware system like the Macs), and it spread like crazy. Due to another fluke of history, Microsoft's operating system was standard on all of these machines. Then Microsoft came out with Windows, which was 100% compatible all the way back, and initially even ran on DOS, so it was an easy upgrade (can't lose the ability to run 123!). So Windows just slid in on the current monopoly. Then Microsoft began their illegal anticompetitive practices to further crush any potential competition (mainly aimed at Linux and OS/2 around this time, and Netware on the servers).

Notice no mention of quality of the product or how advanced it is. Because that didn't matter. The business model fed the product to the people. Do you realize how many people think "I need to get on the Explorer" when they mean they want to browser the Internet? They don't even know other browsers exist. That was what my friend was saying when he was looking on the Mac. It didn't have an Explorer icon, so it couldn't get on the Internet, right?

Adorno, You are the one who has presented NO FACTS, merely your unsupported opinion based on hearsay from myth. NOT ONE FACT has adorned one of your posts... every one has denied the machines we are sitting here using, denying things we are DOING right now. Who are we to believe? YOU? Or our own experiences? Me? I think I will believe 30 years of working with both Windows computers and Macs over your ignorant twaddle, you who have never shown ANY indication that you have any experience at all with a modern Mac. When challenged for any facts, you present more of your opinion and insult as proof... BAH!
