Didn't you just post this to GoLive? Are you really interested in an 

answer or are you just trying to start a flame war? 


While WIN is catching up to Mac's in many ways, Mac was always ahead in 

ease of use, graphical orientation of the OS and integration of the OS.  

WIN was an OS placed on top of an OS. My wife uses both. And prefers the 

Mac by far. She says she has trouble just trying to delete a file on WIN 

when you just drag the icon to the trash in Mac.  4 years ago, when I 

played with a WIN, I was astounded at how difficult it was just to copy 

text from one application to another. There was no universal clipboard. 

No drag and drop. Just simple elegance things were missing. 


I know WIN has about caught up in many areas. If I were doing heavy duty 

accounting or scientific computation,  I would recommend a PC.   But 

having to train others in computers, the simplicity of the interface and 

connecting peripherals, etc, made Macs the obvious choice for newbies.
