Here's the link again. The real world explanation as to why Macs are better, dollars and cents wise, than peecees.

And, just some food for thought here Sir Ken. Just because the vast majority of people choose one product over another doesn't mean the product is better. It usually means that one product had a better marketing strategy than the other. I like to compare the to companies to automobiles. You definately get what you pay for. And, I for one, would much rather drive a Porche than a Ford. (No slam on Ford intended, I've owned several and have no issues with Ford.)
I read the article, however, there are several flaws in it, the main one being..........who is this guy and what are his credentials??? As far as I know, it could have been written by Steve Jobs.
That said, my debate is not whether or not MAC is technologically better than PC.....it is what is better in the world of business, especially from an educational standpoint for those entering and having to compete in that world. The truth is that PC and the Windows operating system so dominates that universe that it is, in fact, the de facto standard around which, the world revolve. Yes, there are niche area of MAC and PCs with LINUX and there are UNIX based machines, but never has an OS been able to successfully usurp Microsoft, not even the full power of IBM,in Microsoft's infancy, could redirect users to something else.
Bottom line, to compete in today's world, as it currently exists and has for a decade or more, as a rule, one must learn to live with PC/Windows.........and that makes it better. Whether or not it is superior is an academic debate as was BETA vs VHS.
