Before this debate degrades totally into questioning my linage and whether or not my mother married my father – I would like get things back on topic (because either I am curious or a glutton for punishment).

Here are some simple questions:

What makes a computer system superior?

What are the characteristics of a successful or superior operating system or computer platform?

How important is market share to the success of a computer platform?

What are the major factors you use to decide what computer system to buy?

For years I have tried to find a way to get a Mac because I enjoy new toys but the Mac has about 0% market presence in the financial industry. I have to base my computer purchases on need, usability, and market factors – not “style” and marketing hype.

Wrong. I own one right now. (you are really making a fool out of yourself)

Are you back? I was going to spare you this humiliation, but you persist. You made both of the above statements. One of them makes you a liar. I'm just curious as to which one it is.
