Well considering that microsoft got a considerable securaty problem in it’s windows xp that it had to bring out a second edition to fix it and even now you can download, shows how “secure” is windows.
O wow one litte problem with a mac os X system, so what, windows got hundreds of them but no one seams to care about it or talk about it, just keep on using it.

The only sentence I’ve ever read on a website, where I had to get a flipchart and draw a diagram so that I could understand it. I also had to make myself a large Canadian Club and ginger ale, but then I was probably going to have that anyway.
That said, never a truer word spoken or written.
You tell em MDN

The only reason we are annoying is that we are annoyed that so many are willing to put up with the crap of MS. THAT is annoying. Most Apple users do know both OS’s, so we know where our just pride comes from.

ROTFLMFAO!!! I am officially stealing this and posting everywhere (I’ll credit MacDailyNews).
“So why do Apple users hate Microsoft?”
Because they represent the pinnacle of mediocrity.
To some people pee and champagne have both bubbles, are yellowish and taste funny. Of course they will get the cheaper product and let some other ‘suckers’ pay too much for a Veuve Cliquot: also yellowish, with bubbles and a funny taste.
Let Nich Clayton and the rest have their flute of pee.
What he doesn’t understand, obviously, is that once you use a Mac for a couple of weeks, the Microsoft experience is no longer “good enough.” Over a short time with OSX, it becomes rapidly more clear that Windows, in fact, bites ass. Normally, that would be fine…there are plenty of companies out there that produce crappy products. But Mircosoft uses their economic and monopolistic weight to virtually force (or perhaps fool) 95% of computer-buyers to use their refuse. And because Windows is so prevelant, Mac users are generally forced to deal with it, either directly or indirectly. That’s why we hate Microsoft.
He’s in Scottland for Chrissakes!! God, didnt know Scotts could even type, let alone get out from behind their sheep long enough to do it!
“You paid too much, you idiot,” they bleat while furiously downloading patches to patch patches that patched patches issued to fix patches that broke while patching a patch that didn’t patch the first patch, but broke the last patch they patched. Hey, where’s that imacheapdumbass.dll?!
Ouch, sides splitting, hurts – too much laughter!

LOL
Then again this what keeps the M$ guys in business. Companies do not want to make the change, because they already have spended so much money to their systems. They don’t want to say that this was a huge mistake and make the change to Apple.
The real question would be why do Windows users hate Apple?
DudeMac: because every Mac user reminds them that – after all – they could have chosen differently but did not. And they hate to see we are pleased and happy to use our computer, are relaxed in front of it, we have no horror stories about. In a word, they know they drink pee and hate all who drink champaign.

I have to try to translate this
Try to say this as fast as you can
Microsoft – insecure by design … It’s designed so the government can keep track of individuals – that’s why, when candidates are surveyed, they say they run Windows – they want to appear like the average Joe – fact is, none of them touch Windows – but it’s great for the average person.
To think Microsoft is great is akin to saying that Walmart is the BEST store. It’s everywhere, inferior, and cheap! That doesn’t make it good, just cheap. And cheap isn’t the only criterion I use when shopping for a product that I will use for hours every day.
this guy is full of scheisse!
Thank you MDN for cutting this guy down to size. Apparently this guy thinks that “if its not Scottish its crap!” I do love the patch joke. Its good to not be average, can I get an Amen?
I have tried different methods of trying to get the word out that Macs are worth considering. No matter what method you try, however, you end up with the same reputation – the pushy, elitist Mac lover who blindly follows the second coming of Jobs while scoffing at the woes of the Wintel world and attempting to ignore the failings of his computer plaform of choice.
There are clueless Mac users and clueless Wintel users, just as there are well-informed users on both platforms. The key factor, in my opinion, is that I would enjoy being a Mac user even if I were in the clueless camp.
The Wintel envy is indeed a reality in many cases. It is human nature to try to tear something superior down to your level. That is why Wintel users, if they bother to notice, will revel in every iPod mini crackle and iPod battery failure and G5 shipping delay. And that is why Mac users get that smug feeling when the virus de jour passes them by – because the PC does have superiority in at least one area…marketshare.
One big beef I have with Microsoft is their shoddy business practices. That company regularily employs a business ethic that is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg! It wouldn’t surprise me if hackers attack M$ primarily for that reason.
The average PC user does not waste any time thinking about Apple. The average Mac user wastes no time thinking about PCs or market share. Let’s face it, these issues are only important to Geeks like us who need to go and get a life … I hear there’s a war going on in Iraq – that it’s over oil not WMDs – that the reasons for going to war were exaggerated, but that instead of admitting that he mislead the World so that he and his buddies in the – insert favorite children’s-story gang name here … ie. “Black Hand Gang” – can expand their business interests and rake in billions – that President Bush is going to stick it out with help from the US taxpayer (because there’s too much at stake now to pull out.)
You bet there is Georgie boy, and it’s not just your oil-money.
Oh sorry, I got distracted – whether you use a Mac or a PC, there shouldn’t be a lot to be smug about at the moment.
The irony is that Apple, a primarily hardware company makes better software than Microsoft, a primarily software company. (Better hardware too)
The average PC user is content to patch their machine continually because they know nothing else … Windows was designed with spying and reporting on users in mind …

Sounds like this guy has a big draft under his kilt. About about a chorus of
“Amazing Grace” on your bagpipe?
Converted the MD of one of my clients to the way of truth and light this week, for his personal system anyway.
I could have bought him an IBM ThinkPad T41, then added 802.11g, and BlueTooth, a DVD writer, and then bought him the functional equivalents of iLife and iSync. Which would probably cost �2000.00.
Or I could buy him a 17″ Powerbook. Which we will do as soon as Monday’s product announcements are complete.
