The Macintosh Enthusiast

I would like to write a mini-report on the Macintosh and Enthusiests. Yes, we all know them. They prounce around talking about their Apple products and their Macintosh products and how "all-knowing" and great thier products are. And I must say, for the record, that I use Windows, Mac OS X Panther, and Linux in my life. And of course I own my own iPod and my blog has talked about iPods more than what it was suppose to. So honesty, I really know what I am talking about. Now, I was just reading a blog whenever I came across a .gif file with some text unlining it. The picture was of the old Apple logo and under the picture was this text: "Still better than Windows!" Well, in some instances I admit, this is true. They are better for the multimedia items and I mean that. They are, I truely mean that. Artistic people should really pick one up, I mean if you have the cash to dish out for it. That is one of the problems with a Mac though, you have to have the money. That is a major issue with the Macintosh. Another problem, which is major for anyone, is compatibility. What an issue. Most people use Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007 (I have used NeoOffice and OpenOffice too) and why would you purchase a Macintosh for work if you were going to buy Microsoft products. I have heard of people even purchasing the Microsoft Virtual PC for Macintosh. As in the words of Flavor Flav, "Wooooooooowwwwwww!" If you are going to do that, why purchase a Mac? You could purchase an incredible PC for the price of the Macintosh. Oh well most people want reliability. I wonder why Macs have virtually no viruses or Trojans? Maybe, just maybe, most of the population do not use Macs? No one likes to bring that up. I mean, no Mac Enthusiast likes to say that everyone uses a PC. Here are some fidgures that I found:

Windows XP is the most popular operating system. The windows family counts for nearly 90%:

2006           WinXP   W2000   Win98   WinNT   W2003   Linux   Mac
Sepember  75.6%  9.2%  1.4%  0.3%  2.0%  3.5%  3.8%
August          75.2%  10.1%  1.4%  0.3%  2.1%  3.5%  3.6%
July          74.3%  10.1%  1.5%  0.3%  2.0%  3.4%  3.6%
June          74.1%  10.6%  1.6%  0.3%  2.0%  3.4%  3.6%
May          74.2%  10.7%  1.6%  0.2%  2.0%  3.4%  3.6%
April          74.0%  11.2%  1.8%  0.3%  1.9%  3.3%  3.6%
March          72.9%  11.9%  2.0%  0.3%  1.8%  3.4%  3.5%
February  73.3%  12.3%  2.1%  0.3%  1.8%  3.4%  3.6%
January  72.3%  13.1%  2.4%  0.3%  1.7%  3.3%  3.5%

Maybe since more people use PCs, or should I say Windows, they have have more viruses. Have you ever tried to open a iMac before? I know that laptops are hard to open, but still the iMac is so difficult. I wanted to open my iMac and I just read it and said forget about it. Any PC is easy enough to open up, except for the really small ones and laptops.
