I dare you to actually open your mind. Neither windows or osx are perfect and there's only so many ways you can open a picture, write a letter and of course, browse the web.

I choose to spend my money and when I do, I usually try to find something that's suitable and worth the cash. For instance, I decided to purchase a £120 HP DX2400, slapped in a Q9650 with silly sized heatsink and fan, attached a 120m fan to the side of the case, along with a 9800 GX2 and Western Digital Black 32mb cached 7200rpm drive. Ohh, it's fast, so very fast. Many wouldn't bother but it was runs like a dream first time, every time. Oh it’s so amazing, mmmm, ohh yeah, ugghh.

Windows 'is' a versatile operating system, running on so many machines and configurations that apple can only DREAM of such things. Please stay with apple, they deserve you. (A lot of mac converts are people that trashed their machines time after time due to malware, installed rubbish and of course... infections caused due to trying to find... pron!)

I also dare you to write using paragraphs

P.s. There's nothing high class about having the same internal components as standard pcs. You may have a ferrari kit for an MR2 Turbo, but at the end of the day, it's still the same under all the 'shiny bits'

But it's still pretty.

This is actually how MAC is going keep their reliability ratings up, if we can't turn it on we can't test it can we?

I don't know about pretty.

Just two days ago I was walking around Logan Int Airport and was looking at all the laptops people were using. I saw a lot of Macs, and while that design may have been pretty for a few years, it looks rather old and tired now. All the Macs looked exactly the same, it was as if I was looking at a bunch of sheep, as I couldn't tell the difference between any of them simply by their shell.

I remember once, years ago, somebody gave Dell a hard time, said Dell computers all look the same, boring and black. Well to me, Apple is falling into the same rut. They all look the same boring white. No various colors, no various keyboard options, just boring white.

OS X may be a really nice OS, and Mac's may have nice hardware under the hood, but I still like options.
