sigh it's so frustrating watching threads like these degenerate into the PC vs Mac argument on absolutely no grounds. Apple have always made fun of Microsoft, it's how they work. It doesn't change the fact that they build VERY good software and hardware. Also, the 'UAC' in OS X is much less intrusive - once the application is allowed system access, it doesn't keep bothering the user with prompts. This is important for two reasons:
* One, that it MUCH less annoying to know what's going on with your computer because of:
* Two, blasting the user with message boxes just desensitises them from the fact that those dialogs are SUPPOSED to be there for their protection. In the end, people will just try to look for a way to disable it rather than have to deal with it all the time. I know most casual PC users would.
In conclusion, learn your facts before making such massive generalisations such as "Macs are good for fun stuff, and i don't know what your business is, but if its music/video/fun stuff, then yes, mac is for that". Ten bucks says you don't even read your UAC prompts anymore (though you'd never admit it). A Mac is just as capable (if not more) a machine as a PC. In fact, there's many features in OS X that, once you get used to them, you curse Windows for not having. That said, Vista's gone and done it's own way of some of those (e.g. searchable start menu), but it's still not quite as user friendly as OS X.
