[...] By Harry McCracken | Posted at 10:01 am on Tuesday, August 10, 2010 For years, Microsoft’s marketing efforts for Windows ignored the fact that Macs existed. That changed last year. In the wake of rising sales for Apple’s computers, Microsoft went on the offensive. But the case it made for Windows PCs and against the Mac was touchy and evasive. It ran PC ads that knocked Macs as overpriced but couldn’t find anything nice to say about Windows. It got pointlessly insulting about Mac users. And it commissioned a white paper on the “Apple tax” that was rife with fuzzy math and outright…. [...]

I think that cost is important when you are on a budget and need to buy the family computers. But buying a computer should not just be on a cost basis. I believe it is all about preference if someone like windows let them go to it. If they are only buying it because it is cheaper they might be missing out. I am willing to spend what it takes to get a computer that I like. I am tired of mac and windows alternatives like linux. I am also tired of building my own PC’s. Now days I will gladly pay the Apple Tax to make sure I get what I want. It is worth the money. Although if I didn’t have the money you better believe I would get out the screw drivers and thermal paste and start building again. But I feel lucky I bought a mac I like it and I am not playing Jenga with computer parts anymore and I haven’t had issues. Although I didn’t have the issues most people rant about with MS. I am just happy that if this breaks someone else can fix it.

[...] See all: News Over at Ars Technica, there’s an interesting piece on training materials prepared by Microsoft for Best Buy staffers making the case that Windows 7 PCs are preferable to Macs. Most of the points in Windows’ favor that the materials raise are true; it’s just that anything that might tend to favor the Mac is left out. I guess that’s an improvement over earlier Microsoft PC/Mac comparisons that involved both truth-stretching and errors. [...]
