Seriously, its one of the most overrated, over hyped, over priced pieces of !!!! I have ever purchased. Dont waste your cash. I have more grief with this POS than any modern windows machine. If you want the pain, you are better of going down the linux path.
You have absolutley no idea what you are talking about and you obviously have inherent bias towards Windows and Linux.
I have used all three. I would favour Windows or Mac over Linux any day for desktop computing, Linux is just not ready for prime time on the desktop.... fantastic as a server with console interface.... but desktop... no way !
There is nothing wrong with mac and is is certainly not a POS that gives you grief.... nor is it " overrated, over hyped, over priced" .... its one of the most solid, stable platforms I've used over the years. They are robust systems with decent components that will take a beating and given that OS X works on a BSD backend you are basically hoisting yourself by your own petard saying OS X is a POS because you are effectively saying your beloved open source community BSD is also a POS !
