Everybody bake a quiche and light some incense sticks in celebration today!

Oh this is just great. Now we'll have another +1000 post PC vs. Mac thread. Can't we all just get along?

[Liberal Classic]

A shame there's no mention of Steve Wozniak in this article.

Who Knew? If someone would have given me some warning, I would have baked my iMac a cake!!!! I hope it's feelings aren't hurt! It knows I love it though!!!

I use several platforms but my new 15 inch Mac Powerbook is a total gas! Makes using a PC about as attractive as cutting grass with a push mower.

Cute, two major problems:
Apple wasn't just accused of stealing from Xerox they lost the case
Linux was porting to PC desktops long before OSX

I like how they try to recast Steve Job's goal of a dual monopoly in hardware and the OS as a benevolent dictatorship, that's extra funny.

The most famous innovation, of course, is the original Mac's graphical user interface, which Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Windows appeared to copy over several generations.

If Windows copied the Mac then that would make it a copy of a copy.  XEROX invented the modern graphical user interface at the Palo Alto Research Center.  The XEROX execs were too busy changing the paper on their copiers to notice.

Scientologists, Hare Krishnas, Macintosh fanatics, Hale-Bopp enthusiasts, Jonestown Kool-Aid drinkers....

Any others?

Before the Mac-Whacks flame the crap out of me, I'm just amused at the zealotry of Macintosh users. I don't think you're really a cult. Really. I don't. Stop looking at me that way...

I bought a 20th Anniversary Mac (which I am using right now) back in November of 1997. Maybe it's the 25th anniversary now???

[Rodney King]

I'd buy a Mac, but I'm not gay.

[Ronin]

I would love to have a Mac again, someday I probably will, but I am not unhappy with my Dell, purchased last year. I keep waiting for it to crash or subject me to some of the horrors that I have come to dread from other PCs, but it appears remarkably stable.

A friend of mine bought a G-4 Powerbook. I admit to the sin of envy.

The most famous innovation, of course, is the original Mac's graphical user interface

Would that be the GUI that Steve Jobs perloined after his visit to Bell Labs?

It is reported that when Jobs first saw MS Windows he exclaimed, "Hey! Somebody stole the thing I stole!"

</sarcasm>

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Not Bell. Xerox. It was sooo long ago.

[Glenn]

which Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) Windows appeared to copy over several generations

Wrong!

John Scully licensed the GUI to Microsoft but failed to structure it properly (it cost him the court case). Apple would own MSFT if it weren't for that gaffe. It's something Steve never would have screwed up.

MAC user since 1985. I let my wife and daughter talk me into a windows machine dec 2001. Spent over 200 housr on the phone and several hundred dollars on technical assistance. Several viruses and reloaded the system twice.

Never called for technical assistance on any of my MACs.

I'm a simple user. Don't want to attend training or learn what is going on inside the machine.

I'll not make this mistake again.

When will G-6s be out?
