You are already being controlled. You just don't know it.

Sony lost a similar suit in Australia. However, laws differ from country to country.

"These people should definately switch to Mac but are too stupied to do so." �Definately� all the �stupied� people don't know anything about computers.

I will concede OSX has is easier to use and is more fun to use. But besides dawdling in the OS, there aren�t many functions for me. I used it to surf the web and write down notes, maybe for MS Word, and Excel every now and then. That is it for me.

Windows has just so much more to offer, all those specialty programs that I can't find on OSX, CAD, and tons more games. Console is ok if you like it, but for me I have windows and every game, I need. Viruses and spam don't exist in my PC world. Now I really do like the Alt-Q command from OSX. Good thing I found a program that makes use of that command for me in Windows. I also have a program called Winroll that rolls up the programs to just show the top of the window. There is no Expose and Spotlight, but if you have a monster of a machine which would still cost you less than a Mac if you know how to put together a computer, there are many programs to assist you. Windows does copy a lot of the GUI from the Mac OS, but Windows isn't hardware proprietary based. I can put Windows on what system I want and use it (Yes, I do know about putting OSX on generic PCs, but it is illegal and the system run like a turtle.) I love the custom-ability of Windows software, GUI, its acceptability of my generic brand name PC parts, and 95% of the world programs for Windows (even the viruses and spam).

Lastly, Mac now will offer Windows Dual boot, Boot Camp. So buy a Mac now to run Windows.

Only reason to get a Mac is for OS X. You could make a PC with a 24" Monitor for at most 1800 with the same if not better cpu, a better video card, customizable motherboard, 2 gig of tightly timed ram, bigger hdd. Macs need to buy Windows (another expense) to play games.

If I didn't play games, OS X is much more easier and pleasing to use compared to Windows. So if you can't live without OS X go for it. But if you are a gamer why bother (You can just get a OSX theme, iEx, and widgets if you really have that OSX addiction and save yourself a premium). All that rebooting back and forth seems painful.

Contest, nice.

You know how many items are made in China that you probably use daily huh fizz boy? Tons of stuff we, Americans, use everyday on a consistent basis, is made in China and no one says jack until something breaks. Yeah that is right we need a scapegoat. Blame the designers where the only real fault can be put and not the country from which he or she originates from or where an item is manufactured. Apparently the labor force has no control over the design, but thinking is hard.
