When a Mac user tries to use the virus argument against me to prove why a Mac is better than a PC I always love explaining to them why no one bothers writing virus infections for platforms that are not popular The response I normally get is one of confusion.

I always find it so amusing that the one argument Mac users have against PC's is the virus one. What about actually using the system? Why is the Mac OS better than XP or Vista? I think we know the answer to that, and why they avoid the question.

Has anyone else noticed how Mac users seem to act as if they are in a cult? Believing everything their beloved leader (Steve Jobs) says, regardless of how unfounded it is. They will then walk away "armed" with the words he gave them to "fight" against the even encroaching PC world.

Who remembers when the G5 was the main Mac CPU and Apple "claimed" it was more efficient and faster than any Intel compatible CPU? But now, in a complete turn around Apple claim that they switched to Intel CPUs because the Gx range of Risc processors could not offer the same performance! Slight contradiction!

This month's PCPro is nicely picking up on these Apple adverts with a big article on "Why the PC is better than a Mac".
