I hate to say it folks, but the darned things “just work”

You got that right. When I was in the Army they only purchased Windows based machines, so I have plenty of years experience from Windows 3.1 up through XP. I also was assigned to the Army Research Laboratory for three years where all the computing was done on Silicon Graphics machines running IRIX.

I'll take a Mac running OSX over anything else any day. In fact, since my retirement from the Army, I have worked at home and my employer supplied me with a Gateway laptop running XP. I fought with that piece of crap for three years until I finally purchased my own MacBook Pro. Heaven. I can run Mac OSX, Windows and IRIX if I want. I have XP installed but have never found a reason to use it other than to watch MLB.TV games while I work.

Bottom line is I can use any of them if I have to, but if I get to choose its Mac because they just work...pleasantly.

As for others, I don't really give a flaming F what you like or use. None of my business. To each their own. But considering the amount of money Microsoft and Bill Gates contribute to Planned Parenthood, United Nations Population Control (read that abortion) and other liberal causes, I wouldn't necessarily only paint one product or the other with the liberal label. Pick your liberal poison.

LOL! As though windows users ACTUALLY PAY for software.
