Macs

[Michael Haney]

Well, the Mac experience is more than the hardware.  You're missing
the point if you look at just the hardware alone.  There is also the
software.  Mac OS X is a fully-certified Unix operating system under
the hood.  There are fewer security vulnerabilities, and most viruses
and malware for the Mac exist only as extremely limited
proof-of-concept code.  There is a lot of specialized software for the
Mac which has few or no alternatives on Linux or Windows.  There is
far more software for the Mac that you might imagine and its a myth
that the Mac doesn't have any worthwhile software at all.  Not to
mention also Macs have an EFI which has several distinct advantages
over a traditional BIOS.  To top it off, Mac OS X just works without
any of the usual hassles of using Windows.

Macs also have BootCamp which can be used to run Ubuntu, and does so
very well according to the Ubuntu users group I'm a member of.  Also,
Maximum PC and PC Magazine have done several benchmarks which prove
that Intel Macs run Windows Vista Ultimate "faster" than a comparably
or better equipped traditional PC.  Let us also not forget that the
current generation MacBook Pros have the longest battery life of any
notebook computers currently on the market except for a few netbooks.
I've done some research on that one, point me to a PC-based
non-netbook notebook or laptop with a 10+ hour battery life.

But, being a poor boy I have the next best thing which is Ubuntu.  ;)
My experience with Mac OS X feels just like Ubuntu with Gnome and
Avant Window Navigator installed.  Except for a few differences Mac OS
X feels like Linux.
