Best.Mac.Troll.Ever!

Best anti-Mac troll ever!

Does it get any better than this? Wow.

I've never understood the whole PC vs. Mac thing. I use both daily. Yes, I obviously prefer the Mac, but the PC has it's place also. Hell, I develop software for the PC (admittedly, these days I do it on XP using Parallels)!

But anyway, after reading this over on Digg, I couldn't help but share it with the world. :)

Enjoy, and feel free to post your own favorite troll links in the comments.

The comment linked is saved below for posterity's sake, as posted:

Apple sucks-straight-up. Apple is a company who was competition with windows in the 80s, hell, i think it was better in the 80s and the early 90s. Once the Pentium processor came out and windows 95 came out, windows became much better. Who the hell would design computers so that they dont have legacy (backwards compatibility for all your noobs) support? Apple has come back because tools like you are buying their music devices.
The IPod sucks too! Who else than Apple would design a music player that wouldnt let its users to share music? They created a huge "market" because they suck people in with these "retro and in style" stupid commericals with sillouttes and shitty bands like "the white stripes" playing in the background. Oh, everyone who buys an IPod or a mac is so artsy and sophisticated. The reality is that you buy shit because people tell you to then you dig into their stupid itunes store just because you have the damn IPod. Buy yourself a real MP3 player and buy yourself a real computer.
Apple's new operating systems are buily on UNIX structure, which means that it was drived from open source software. As far as i know, open source is open, and wether its UNIX or LINUX, its easier to hack than windows. The problem is, people like windows machines better because they are better for office stuff, gaming, upgrades, price, maitainance. Theyre also in high competition with applications like photoshop and other media editing. (BTW, Im not really being biased, macs are better for MOST media apps but not by much). The apple computer was made for stupid people to do stupid things with, easily. If it were up to me, mouses wouldnt even exist. Only people who deserved to use computers could use them, not people who make dumb articles like this.
Windows runs on computers that are esily upgradable. People will go out and buy an introductory computer package for about $600. It comes with a tower, a printer, and a monitor. After you bring it home, you can add things to it. like memory, a new video card, a new heatsink. All kinds of companies make these computers and their parts, all these computers are called "clones"(back in the day termonology for a computer not made BY THE OS THAT SUPPORTS IT). Apple doesnt let people sell "clones" all their computers only come from them. So theres no competition! They give the price and people buy them. The only reason for people to buy one is for strict media usage/editing. Buy if youre dumb enough to buy one, its gonna cost you at least AT LEAST 1,200 for a decent model.
The reason people buy macs nowadays is because they got away with so much of YOUR MONEY frmo the IPod sales and accessories, they can market macs AGRESSIVELY. if you didnt watch so much TV, you wouldnt want one. And who in the right mind changes their company name from "Apple Computer" to "Apple Inc." Nutjobs.

Wheee!

    Besides this guy being a complete and udder idiot. He probably never has really sat down with a mac nor has he really educated himself on the real side of apple products. He fed into the same BS that told him the Windows and PC are far superior. Personal preference is how I look on it. Today is a good example. I had purchased the G5 PowerMac and had to install crap ton of software that I had purchased with it. And today my friend calls me over to show me his new Toshiba P105 laptop with the new "Vista" windows on it. And he proceed to tell me oh how his laptop was going to blaze past mine and how much better it was. (Please note that I just had a Toshiba P25 with WinXP for school up until a few days ago. So I am not completely bias to Apple.) So we power it up.. even with a gig of ram it took 20 minutes to set up. Then to uninstall all the extras that he didn't want. Which was literally half of the programs installed. Then installed 2 media programs and Nero 7. Ok this is what got me. It took almost 6 hours from the time we started to finish and in the end it still didn't let Nero 7 install because of it eatting so much memory to run. I am sorry. Yeah he paid way less than I did. But at that cost. I am sorry to say.. he has a piece of crap.

    I hear things like this from friends all the time. I wonder where people get these ideas...

    Like the idea that you can't upgrade macs, or the idea that you can't get third-party upgrades. There are whole stores and websites devoted to competitively priced mac upgrades, and from a large variety of manufacturers. And yet, this is probably the number one reason I get from friends for why they buy PC's instead of macs. They have this vague idea that having empty PCI slots (which is all you get on the cheap models anyway) somehow enriches their lives.

    Same thing with pricing. Surely, there have been enough direct comparisons conducted by blogs and websites recently that it should be easy to inform oneself that macs are competitively priced at both the high and low end of the market.

    Sure apple products are aesthetically pleasing, and have very successful marketing campaigns but at worst this is something to be ignored.

    The only explanation I can come up with for these weird excuses is that the people who make them feel comfortable with their ability to use windows, and are afraid they would have to start all over again if they switched. The only thing worse than having to read the comments of a "noob" on a forum is the fear of becoming one yourself I guess. When I switched, though, I found myself spending so much less time dealing with malware, tinkering with the registry, and other such garbage that I actually had time and energy left over to learn how to use my computer better.

    One last thought: why do I care so much (aside from the ugly brand loyalty which I will grudgingly admit to having developed)? I think it's a distaste for really bad arguments: I am trained as a logician.
