Actually, I once owned a mac. I still use a mac daily and have almost every working day for the past 10 years. I still prefer PCs.

You have to remember something. I write a column, which means I'm supposed to give my opinion, so of course I wasn't being objective. Unfortunately, the website doesn't make that clear.

Plus all of those viruses have the least categorized threat and distribution by Symantec.
Symantec also claims a massive growth of virus activity on the Mac, we now have 3!!
How much is 3/150,000? |
Hey, no one is saying PCs don't have a massive problem with malware. Mac wins in this category hands down. I listed those 3 because I was getting bombarded by people saying there are NO mac viruses. One person demanded that I name one. I did.

It compares to it in every aspect, customer loyalty, employee loyalty, cultural impact (can u say iPod?), customer satisfaction, and user experience.
When your company commands a cult following, you're doing something right. |
Actually, I never compared Macs to Harley.
I compared MUGs to HOGs. Hell, my article (despite popular belief) wasn't to condemn Apple or the Mac. I was poking fun at some of the comments I have received from Mac users.
As for customer satisfaction and user experience? It's not as universal as you say it is. I've talked to at least four current/former Mac users like myself this week who have agreed with my comments. Sorry, but once you go Mac, sometimes you do come back - to PCs.
Cheers,
Scott
