I love how he admits defeat at the end, haha.
LOL at this guy...
I will say this, no matter what anyone says OSX UI is not as responsive as Windows (any version)... thus prob gives the average user a feeling that osx is sluggish...
I have only used Mac's through VMWare which is pretty slow. Vista was a native install and it blows. I will stick w/ XP or move back to linux.

I agree, just because his mac is slow doesn't mean that they generally are, and in my personal experience the most fastest and stable computers I have ever seen are macs. The only time I see macs drag is when you try to run Power PC apps on an Intel, but that is understandable in my opinion. Plus the greatest thing about macs are they last for years. I've seen macs over 10 years old that still haven't fried.

Although I'm a proud Mac owner myself, I think ur statement is unfair. Cuz I have also seen G5's that dropped dead in 1, and pc's still purring after 10. It all just depends on what you do with it, and how intensively. Cuz components these days are roughly of the same quality (and more or less from the same manufacturer)

True. Also what sometimes gets me is on Windows, the point-pixel is on the tip of the black outline. On OS X, it's not at the tip of the cursor. It gets a little tricky when you have tiny objects you're working with.
The guy doesn't really have a good argument. I've seen much better. His was more like a "I need to vent" rather than pointing out facts. Sometimes I feel the same way, too. But no computer will be perfect.

reminds me of using the crop tool in photoshop. where the hell is that freakin' hot spot, anyways?
Can I ask how can this guy be objective when you read his "background", at the bottom of the page. It reads like a MS CV.
Make you think, who's lining his pocket to start a "Rant" like that.
