Mossberg: OS X "Rock Solid"; G5 iMac "Best" PC "Ever Reviewed"

I didn't know where to post this, so if its not the right forum, moderators are asked to kindly find a place for it. Thanks :)

I find it kind of interesting that lately, many previously anti-Apple writers and analysts are now praising Apple. I think there may be an IBM/HP hand to this, but I'm not so sure.

Here's an article I read today, which demonstrates my point of people 'switching sides' and getting their mouths out of Bill Gates' pockets.

What do you guys think?

Mossberg: OS X "Rock Solid"; G5 iMac "Best" PC "Ever Reviewed"

The Mac Observer

Wall Street Journal technology columnist Walt Mossberg gave the highest praise possible to not one but two Apple Computer products in his Thursday Personal Technology column, calling Mac OS X "rock solid" and the G5 iMac "the single best desktop computer I have ever reviewed."

Mr. Mossberg used his weekly column to discuss the plague of viruses, spyware and other security problems that primarily affect the Windows platform. In it, he had mostly negative remarks of the Windows OS from Microsoft, but only good things to say about Mac OS X.

Instead of PCs being productivity tools, they have turned into burdens, Mr. Mossberg wrote.

"Consumers have been forced to devote rising amounts of time and money just to keeping the machines safe (from virus and spyware writers, hackers and sleazy businesses)," he wrote. " The PC has, in many cases, gone from being a solution to being, at least in part, a problem."

i have an analogy to this. the physicans are so into the theory of realitivity and quantum physics and they nearlly got their hands on the true meaning of life and all the mysteries to be solved, so when they finally opened the door they found the theologians and philosophers bathing in the sunny beach.

my point? finally they realized that somebody already found the answer and that they are so slow minded.

finally someone woke up.
