And McDonalds "won"... so that must mean that McDonalds has the best food, huh?

No, but would you want to be in the fast-food service business and have products or services imcompatible with McDonalds? Because we live in a capitalistic society, we let the marketplace decide issues like "winning" and "better". In planned economies, selected individuals get to to tell the masses which products, services, things and ideas are better.

I think that the intent of the original post was to support the position that Apple Computer has a superior product line. I agree with that postion, Apple *does* have a superior product line when compared to off the shelf WinPC's. Whether the "sheeple", a word bantered about here on FR perhaps a little too often, embrace this reality is not in question, they obviously don't. This does not change the fact that the MacOS and the platform it runs on is proven to be far superior to WinPC's in regards to un-interupted uptime stat's and ease of use. No plug and pray here.
