apple is light-years ahead.
Windows is a legacy product.
Windows has 650 different versions: just do the following count
8 versions in 99 languages = 792 different packages
8 modified versions for the European Union in 25 languages = 200 packages
3 modified versions for Korea = 3 packages
2 modifiied versions for China
TOTAL = 792 + 200 + 3 + 2 = 997 different products.

Imagine dealing with that… almost 1000 packages having to be upgraded, pached, etc.

On the other side of the galaxy, ligh-years ahead, Apple stands with one package for all languages. This is modern. Windows is legacy.

so, this article is lame and was written without any knowledge.

That is laughable. Where do you work? the mac store? I am a professional consultant and I can tell you that only the art/marketing departments in all the companies I worked for use macs. You have been bit by the Apple marketing machine. You didn’t even know it. Btw, you cant play any good games on a mac.

I’ll let you know Apple’s current market share is 4.33 PPC and 1.88 %Intel. So I’ve let you know. And Apple is doing fine in the business side. take a look at this company(marketcircle.com)

Credibility shot.

Let us know when Apple has more than 2% marketshare, or any business presence whatsoever, then they’ll be taken seriously.

But, this post takes the cake. This makes me embarrassed to call myself an Apple fan now.

I really wish you guys would have been a bit more professional about it.
