Hilarious video about a recent survey. Most things that they found are quite obvious though. Mac users were found to be more liberal, socially and politically. They are arrogant, into flashy fashions and teeth whitening. Also, though they tried to paint it as a positive, they state that 70% of Mac users were happy with their purchase, but this really means that 30% of the people that bought Saint Steve's super-awesome-wonderful-all mighty Mac computers were NOT happy with them.

Mac owners HAVE to be arrogant. That’s all they’ve got.

Rush uses Mac’s.
He said the same thing several weeks ago regarding the ‘snobery’ when he calls technical support.

As opposed to the about 90% of Vista users who hated their OS.

Concur.

I am with IT tech support for a major university. The mac users are mostly elitist professors - their computers are ivory towers just like their users, cut off from the outside world and in their own little realms.

Pretty graphics, but all the computing power of a falling brick.

I don’t mind the Mac OS, but if I were ever to purchase one, it wouldn’t be for membership into the ‘Mac superiority society.’ It would be because I would need it to do something the my PCs don’t. Which means, I have yet to find a reason to switch.

I'm sure Rush Limbaugh is going to get a laugh out of being lumped with liberals. He has long used and recommended Macs.

I purchased a Mac last year and have both a regular pc and the Mac in the house. I'm by no means liberal, don't care about fashion, tooth whitening, or anything like that. These kinds of surveys tend to be ridiculous, right from the start with their basic premise.

Dear PC Owner: I own a Mac (and I think everybody else should as well). I also have 17 different kinds of skin care product in my bathroom, go to Starbucks on a regular basis and only wear socks when I have to. My iPod has a lot of music by The Smiths and Depeche Mode. My wife had me pick out the color scheme for the new kitchen.

I feel that I am losing my masculinity.

Should I be worried?

Sincerely,

Mac User

I know seven Mac users. Three of them (all women) are indeed Birkenstock-wearing, granola-munching, died-in-the-wool liberals. The other four (two guys, two gals) are solid conservatives. Regardless, none of them define themselves by their computer system...which is really refreshing because I’d have to go medieval on their butts and reformat their systems with OpenBSD if they did. ;-)

They needed a study to learn that Mac users were latte drinking, yuppified, liberal, eco-weenies with a superiority complex? I could have told them that and saved the expense.

It’s been that way for over 20 years. All that’s changes is they have gone from Volvos to Priuses.

With a Mac, I can run as many Windows virtual machines as I want—without having to reboot to switch between them (VMWare Fusion or Parallels.) And Windows on a VM reboots far more quickly than it does natively. And I can move my Windows VM around on an external drive, and run it anyware I have access to a Mac.

And of course, I can use my Mac software also. It’s not just the best of both worlds, it’s better than having a single native Windows installation. There’s really no good reason to run windows as the native host OS anymore.
