<< This post clearly explains how hard it is to fight WinTel. This guy actually *believes* that they these OS's are equal. Get a clue - have you even used a Mac? >>

I have, and for all the average Joe cares they *are* equal. Same drag and drop functionality, same toolbar, same nifty icons. Even same programs (Microsoft Word, Excel, Netscape Navigator).

Average Joe sees *two* differences only: (1) WinTel is cheaper (box and peripherals) and (2) it has more games.

Which one do you think he's going to buy?

By the time he learns about some of the advantages of Macs he's locked up in WinTel.

And BTW up and until MacOS 8, the set of Mac advantages was rapidly decreasing.
