		<description>As a user/owner of both operating systems. The MacBook Pro is somewhat cheaper in the long run if you consider Total Cost of Ownership. It comes with tons of applications built-in (does photos and movies out of the box), you can get NeoOffice for free to open/save Microsoft Office documents, you have less to worry about viruses and other Windows nasties. Studies say maybe 1/3-1/2 of the world&#039;s Windows machines are under some control of hackers (some are zombies to spam or dos attack systems).

My personal time is worth too much to monkey with Windows (though I know how and have). Tech Windows fanboys love Windows b/c that&#039;s how they make their money, feeding off the frustration of Windows users.

Of course you could also run Windows on the MacBook Pro. Just don&#039;t install Vista on it or you&#039;ll be as screwed as installing Windows on a &#039;real&#039; PC. Not enough drivers and other stuff for Vista yet.</description>

		<description>Hey, whatcha got against a car named the &quot;LeBaron?&quot;

Ha. Notice how most people who spew long diatribes about computers on both Windows and Macs tend to be Windows users? I&#039;m convinced they&#039;ve been damaged psychologically by the prolonged use of Windows. Most of them are running scared that computers no longer require some elite computer geek to operate. They don&#039;t understand that computers are supposed to make our lives easier, not harder. They think something more difficult to use is superior.

Even Bill Gates was recently quoted, &quot;Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine.&quot;

I think Gates was referring to Macs that have a Bootcamp partition running Windows in it. Yeah, I&#039;m sure that&#039;s full of exploits.</description>

		<description>Uh, I mean &quot;it just ain&#039;t cool.&quot;

That being said, my G3 iBook is about to be replaced. I&#039;ve owned it for more than six years now and, despite the recent iTunes freezes, it&#039;s cruised along without a problem.</description>

		<description>Come on Baron - feel sorry for these poor Windows fans. I mean, rooting for Windows is like being a fan of the K-Car. It just ain&#039;t cool.

Macs are still superior. Plus, chicks dig &#039;em.

But I do think Mac, addressing its decades-long inferiority complex about being slower than PCs, has compromised some quality and stability.</description>

		<description>Hey man, sorry I took your image without asking for permission first. I just did a google image search for &quot;Mac Crash&quot; and right click pasted what I saw first - didn&#039;t read the copyright first.

Anyway, I humbly apologize for any angst I may have caused you, and have a nice day.</description>
