this doesn't make me mad, it makes me sad that someone is so pathetic and has no life that they have to take the time to make a whole website bashing something they don't like. don't be mad it's not worth it. oh and this could get timelined too

The dude f*ckin lies!

"In fact many applications available don't come with a graphical user interface, so if you want them to work, you better start making friends with the terminal."

God, it's ok if you don't like macs but if you're gonna talk bout the "lying that apple does" you might wanna keep the lies off your site. Unless this is supposed to be satire, even then its still f*ckin stupid.

...completely against political racism!

i hope this guy's joking, otherwise he's the saddest person in the world for not only believing what he says, but for taking the time to make a site for it.

"thousands of stories"? I only see one, and it probably has to do with OS 9.

Also worth noting that while they fault the page talking about Office not mentioning any of the new features, the guy here gets away with saying "illogical problems"…such as what?

The dumbass hasn't updated his site in a year.

Anyone remember this hoax?

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Don't take it so personally.. do a google for "Windows Sucks" and you will find stuff just the same. It IS just a computer, after all!

Having said that, people who think the Mac has always been extremely stable didn't use many of the legacy OS's, including OS9. Heck, even OS 10.1 had serious issues!

I went on there, under the Switch area, and reported my old job's switch from PC to Mac

------

We began getting rid of our Dell GX1 PCs and replacing them with iMac 17" LCDs. Never have we been happier! No viruses, no crashing and no insane TCP/IP oddities. One thing comes to mind- after using Spybot and Ad-Aware to remove spyware and malware from a particular Windows XP Pro SP1 machine, it had absolutely no network connection. I plugged in all the static IP info, but nothing. Same with DHCP. I removed TCP/IP, reinstalled from CD and rebooted and tried again with both static IP and DHCP. Nothing. Had to format and reinstall. WHAT A PAIN! That simply never happened with the Mac. Once in OS X the dock crashed. It was so strange. I thought I would have to format and reinstall, until someone said jsut replace dock.app. I did and it worked beautifully!!! Thank you Apple for making such a wonderful computer!!

think he'll post it?
