It’s pretty humourous but the exasperated manner in which it’s written is kind of indicative of the whole feeling towards the Mac vs Windows debate… does anyone actually still argue seriously about the difference and pros and cons and all that stuff anymore? Let’s face it, the argument will continue well beyond either of us are caring any more (or until Apple assimilates Microsoft, or vice versa, or a Terminator style apocalypse actually happens and it all becomes moot (no doubt Cyberdyne will be running Ubuntu or some such))… I’m definitely past caring now although I am rather unhappy about the evangelical Mac worshippers stereotype… I’m entirely Mac or Linux in my house but I don’t preach to people about making the switch (although ironically my brother, mum & dad all have Macs of various incarnations now…). The only place I’ve seen that kind of cult like following is any of the US Apple stores and their obnoxious “genius bars” or whatever… fortunately IQ and Guernsey Computers don’t have that kind of thing!
Anyway, interesting article… just shame that whole topic is now a little 1990s!
Cheers,
Matt
