I can break down 95% of windows laptops without a DIY or a step by step breakdown. Not true for any mac. Nonetheless, the analogy was akin to a stereotype, which know don't apply to all but do apply to the majority. I personally prefer a car where I don't have to pull the exhaust headers to replace an O2 sensor.

I must respectfully disagree. I'm certainly not going to belittle you for your support decisions; they're yours to make, and that's perfectly fine. I'm the opposite. I do not support friend/family Apple devices at all because I would be spending all my time doing so despite the fact that their Windows devices heavily…

Serious question: why do you love the mac hardware more?

The Win7 Start Bar with the pinned icons is amazeballs (right click, recent items - thanks recent XLS, PPT, DOC, FML). However, I love the Mac hardware more and I…

Applause goes to you, great sire of the internet.

At least I can be first with this:

I absolutely could not agree more. For years I had to deal with two brothers and my father's computers. They just never knew why 'it started running slow'. Sigh.
