I am still shocked that people are defending this left behind OS, including myself at one point. Most of the time its just common sense when it comes to deciphering which ones better, majority of people who switch to mac, know that its just better. Its common sense man!
Since I dont know where to start, I will start with some of the Mac myths that people still bring up....
The first one in line is the myth that Mac users are dumb, that there the dummies of the computer world...
Lets have a look at this video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGLhuF3L48UWhat happened when windows 98 shipped?
We all knew what happened when windows 98 shipped.
Pc's were built by poor hardware manufauers...

For smart people...
While Apple hardware was built by geniuses for dummies..
Most of the time, Mac users from what I have seen are too busy doing VFX, commercials, and film to the point where they cannot deal with obstacles of hardware problems, or even issues within the OS.
I guess I can make the arrogant statement, that if you were somewhat smart, you would have left Windows a long time ago, because you'd realize how horrible it really is.
Next up is the saying that mac hardware is overpriced.
Now What one is saying is that If I have a Pc and Mac that are identical, the PC should cost significantly less...
Well lets compare the Mac pro to the Dell precision workstation T5500.
Mac Pro $2,500
Dell $3,486

Then with this comes the argument where one manages to find a PC that costs likely a hundred bucks less...and its then where I counter argue the extra costs, the category, plus aesthetics...
Next is Games...
Look pal, macs do game. You want more games, bootcamp it.
Market share?
just because more people drive hondas doesn't mean the quality is that of a ferrari in terms of interior design, performance etc.
The Argument of user error?
How does the OS handle user error?
If I eject a removable drive while data is being read from it, do I get a "please insert disk" or does the machine lock up and say some cryptic error message that an average user cant decipher.
When a virus attempts to compromise my system folder, does it automaticly do it? or does a window pop-up requesting me to enter my password out of the blue?
To be continued...
