As I said in my post, both Macs and Windows have their own purposes and values. As you should well know. Yes, people who use Macs use them for the simplicity, but that doesn't make them stupid. People buy pre-sliced bread for simplicity but that doesn't make them any more stupid than people who buy an unsliced loaf. Both just make things easier. Sure, you'll never be able to have a thin sandwich one day and a thick sandwich the next with a pre-sliced loaf, but that's like how a Mac user won't have the tons of options a PC user has. But most Mac users are totally happy with what they have and appreciate the simplicity. You're a great geek. And you like the options a PC gives you. Good for you. But plenty of schoolkids who'd be totally overwhelmed by Vista are perfectly happy with using an iMac. Plenty of grandparents who just want to combine all the new media (music/films) and a computer are happy with a Mac mini. Plenty of people in film like the over-specced Mac Pros. If they didn't, Apple wouldn't be so successful. No company is every wholly powered by 'cool', and you make yourself sound idiotic to suggest it. Especially from someone who apparently 'knows' computers.A @audas:

Yes have to work with Macs, yes have worked with them for well over 15 years, yes they were the original windows blah, blah, yes they were good, yes they serve a purpose (stroking the sensitive egos of lame coders), no they are not cool.

All computers have these problems. My solution buy a brick they only have viruses when you sneeze on them, they only crash when you drop them, and they are useful for giving other people headaches :) I have seen macs crash I have seen them get viruses. and i have seen many people bash their heads into tables trying to figure out how to use Mac's.
