i dont mean to be rude, but this sir seems like a very ignorant and strong biased sentiment based on no specific justifiable reason. and definitely doesnt justify your username (Being.smart)
once again, no hard feelings.. but plz just support your statements a little bit.
And, and, and.. Last of all. .i still say to everyone to respect microsoft becoz the first piece of software for the first apple macintosh computer, was written by microsoft..
Microsoft was always a dedicated software company and Steve Jobs too had his first spreadsheet program, paint program etc. .programmed from Bill Gates..
so, plz dont get obsessed over what is better.. . I'd say both the computing environments have their ups and downs, what you choose gets primarily based on what kind of usage are you looking at.. .
Infact, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were quite good friends and Apple had given a long term contract to Microsoft to write all their pieces of software in the future.. It is when Microsoft copied the GUI from the Apple OS, is when the war began.

And last of all, what you say is true upto a certain extent.. people do buy mac's just to be able to showoff they have something expensive than the others and something having a niche premium status in the minds of people.
but that is just true for general users and college kids.. not for professionals..they are already so successful in what they do they dont need to showoff a laptop.. for all you know..
