Well I don't have anything against Mac users, but I regret that Moelman didn't vote for Linux so we could make Geass feel more miserable
I put this instead: Mac and Vista pwned
"So at the end of the last day of the contest, only the Sony VAIO laptop running Ubuntu was left standing. "
On a serious note, the people I know that bought a Mac liked it, it really depends of what you need.

I frankly try my best not to bother to read such things like this, it frankly just annoys me. I am not even trying to prove a point. Too many flame war postings that I have seen on C|Net turned me away from such articles. (Besides, I already received the security patch for that some time ago.)
I did how ever point a couple away from buying a Mac in a Best Buy Store and direct them to purchasing to an Apple Store instead. They really felt informed after spoke to them about the further things they could do with a Mac, rather than the Bum of a Commissioned sales person only pointed them out to the table. They actually where goignt o rebuild their entertainment center around the Apple TV and a new iMac.
kin37ik, that video is very old in my pocket book, and I never considered it authoritative, though somewhat sarcastic, on how mac's where when the CEO of Pepsi (Scully) was running things in to the ground before Jobs came back.
Though of security though, I have only had two instances, more likely one, in which my machine was compromised. Once it was a program that I actually heard installing itself in to my machine. Another I think was a virus that I brought home from school, or just a faulty disket.
Please though, I like my mac, could we not bash on them? I know it has the security of roughly a Toaster Oven.
