when Windows won the war we actually wound up with the lesser of two evils.

Really? Say that to all those who suffer viruses on a daily basis. Oh yeah, how much did you have to pay extra for all that Video editing software on the wintel? You see, it's free, along with many other things, on the Mac. But live in the past, with your head in the sand and let the world pass you bye.

Nobody suffers viruses on a daily basis. That would be a grotesque and silly exhageration that you should retract.

What video editing software? Don't use, don't need it, and don't want it. As for it being "free" on your Mac maybe you need to take a remedial tax lesson, the extras in Mac OS are just as "free" as socialized medicine, the system is made more expensive to cover the cost of that and everybody that owns a Mac pays for that software even if they don't use it.

Not living in the past at all. Apple is still the sole source for most of the hardware and the OS, if Mac was king of the heap it would be two monopolies instead of one. The person here with their head in the sand is the one that thinks they get free software on their more expensive computer.

What's Mac's marketshare now? Who's being passed by the world?

Say that to all those who suffer viruses on a daily basis.

I run Linux and Windows and wish I had a Mac, but I can't imagine anyone suffering viruses on a daily basis, nor can I really blame Microsoft. If as many people ran Macs as they do Windows, Mac viruses would be as common as dirt. Viruses for Macs pop up every once in a while but tend not to spread much because there are just so few Macs around.
I've only had one virus in my life and that was when a client stuck an infected floppy in a work machine about 8 years ago. I cleaned up the machine and had no problems.
