“Larry O.” asks tech columnist Mike Wendland, “I’m about to replace my aging PC. Are you still sold on Macs?”
Wendland responds in The Detroit Free Press, “Oh, yeah — especially the new iMac G5s, which I’ll be reviewing in a few weeks. I have never had a virus or worm infect any of my Macs, nor have I ever heard of any Mac user having such a problem. I’ve been using Macs exclusively for my personal use for nearly two years now.”
Full article, including another question, “Can I sue Microsoft? I installed Windows XP Service Pack 2, and now my computer is hopelessly trashed,” here.
No you can’t sue MSFT. Why because MSFT doesn’t indemify it’s customers from loss due to negelect on MSFT’s part.
I love these articles! Keep em comin’!!!
sue Micro$oft ??? sure…go ahead and sue them… maybe your case will be featured on CourtTV
If the U.S. government could not successfully and effectively sue Microsoft, why do you think you have a snowball’s chance in hell of doing so?
The best way to hurt MS is to ditch your aging PC and get a Mac.
Just out of a conversation with a 2-week old switchers. Always nice to see amazed faces and hear all the “Oh, and did you know this works too? and that, and this other”. And nodding wisely “Of course, and for a long time”…
Make people happy – again – one at the time.
Obviously, by installing Windows on a PC the computer is trashed by default.
Microsoft’s new motto, “Feelin’ lucky today?”
Sue Microsoft? Hahahahahaha. Yeah, right.
woot.com was the most interesting part of the article!
The best thing about this is that Wendland used to be pretty ignorant on Macs until he wrote an article a few years back that was full of misinformation. He got jumped on by Mac-heads world-wide who collectively convinced him that he was wrong and that he should give the Mac a chance, which he did. Now he’s a Mac-head too.
Well, I remember when I downloaded OS 10.2.8 and it trashed my system. Or did it? Maybe if I had just run Disk Warrior and repair permissions before downloading the patch my machine would’ve been fine.
Of course no one tells Windows users the run Spybot Search & Destroy, Disk Cleanup, Disk Repair (or NDD or a similar utility), and then run Registry Mechanic (or WinDoctor or a similar utility) before downloading a critical patch.
Sue Microsoft? Have you read the EULA? It indemnifies them against things lawyers haven’t even conceived of as yet. Even if Windows somehow morphs your PC into a giant robot that smashes downtown Tokyo, you still haven’t got a chance in hell. Their pet sharks are legendary.
Reading this reminds me of a little tune….
I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect haaaaarmooooony,
I’d like to buy the world a MAC and keep them company
That’s the song I sing
I don’t know if you can repace it, but you can replace it for sure… ( ^_- )
Making people happy. One Mac at a time.
People don’t realize how much power they actually have. In economics they like to call it “the power of the purse.” You vote with your money. If more people stop buying Microsoft products, eventually Microsoft will lose. It’s only a matter of time.
He doesn’t answer the part about suing Micro$oft does he?
