Well, (a) registration required, and (b) it's the Times, as in Murdoch-owned xenophobic lie-through-its-teeth News Corp rag, so... (a) there's no way I'm registering to read the article, and (b) I'm thinking we shouldn't give it too much credence either way.

He doesn't get the target market for the mac mini, is the problem. Why didn't he look at a base model, with 512MB RAM and a wired keyboard / mouse? Why compare it in performance with a dual 2.5GHz G5? Plus, there's always going to be cheaper PCs, with a "comparable" specification - until you take the software (and size, and quietness, and coolness, and ...) into consideration...

I was more pissed off by the description of Mail and Safari as anaemic - what, did he miss all those pop-up and virus attachments or something ?

Anaemic is a good decription for Safari. Why be pissed off? It's not your program. I think all of us here of sound mind cn agree Safari is behind Camino and Firefox.
And Windows PCs, as much as you might hate to admit it, also have the capability of disabling pop-ups, ActiveX controls, etc etc. Just use Firefox and Thunderbird rather than IE and Outlook Express and be done with it.

Wait - what's anaemic about them? I use Safari on my Mac and Firefox on my PC and they're both excellent (and very similar to boot). The only concrete advantage of Firefox (for me) is the ability to block ads, but then you wouldn't expect Apple as a commercial company to offer that. It'd be nice to have extensions for Safari, but frankly the only extensions I use with Firefox (other than adblock) are the ones that make it more like Safari.
As for Mail - what's the criticism?
