I think even mac fans wouldn’t say that Mac is more controllable (i.e. configurable). They’d argue it is better because Apple has made the choices for you, so you don;t have to worry about (and they made better choice than you would). Now that I think about, it sounds like government central planning...

So, tell me where you go in Vista to turn the DRM off?

By the way, there’s a lot of stuff you can alter on the Mac that you just can’t do on Vista. Like, oh, use a non HDCP display at full resolution.

There is nothing on the MAC that can't be controlled through the UNIX terminal. It is a machine. There are no hidden locked areas. If you are used to Windows, you're not going to find a Windows like registry to tweak. Microsoft does way more to control the user on a top level than MAC does. I NEVER have anyone asking me to help them with a MAC problem other than setting up their mail, but I am always helping Microsoft people find this file, or get rid of this popup or "why does my computer keep shutting down"?

Yes, MAC fans who study and learn about their MACs would say they have more control than Windows fans.
