I'd take Windows over a Mac anyday too.  I can't believe how anyone could 
like the damn things.  The hardware is as capable as that of a PC, if not 
more in some cases, but the OS is nothing but a clusterfuck!  I don't 
care how "easy to use" it is.  It can't multitask worth crap and eats up 
more memory than windows 95 does even.  The "easy to use" mantra is mostly 
a bunch of crap as well.  All computers are easy to use, some are merely 
more quickly learned.  Most people learn how to use the mac very quickly, 
but then they are stuck having to use a mouse to do everything.  With the 
PC, you can use the mouse and a GUI to do things, but you can also 
progress on to using the command prompt to manipulate files and startup 
programs.  The Mac is for those people who lack either the ability or the 
desire to learn how to use a computer in any serious way.  I don't have 
so much of a problem with this as I do with Mac people preaching at me 
that my pentium is crap.  Even if I had a 386sx-16 I would still be able 
to do more with it than any of them can on their Powermacs because I know 
how the damn things work.
