As most of you will know, I'm a mac user - have been for years. And yes, I'm a bit of an evangelist, and have been know to stroke the metallic case of my MacBookPro, and lust after the latest version of the iPhone. I'm not particularly anti-Microsoft - just prefer macs, and of course, use many microsoft products, personally and at work. I try not to get drawn in to Mac vs Microsoft debates (or slanging matches as they often turn into). And so far I've refrained from commenting on Microsoft's latest adverts - the awful videos suggesting we have a party to launch Windows 7. So this morning as I sat down to read this article in the Guardian, I was prepared for some sort of mac or windows bashing. Didn't expect both, and I didn't expect one of the funniest columns I've read for a while.
Enjoy it, while I creep away to die.....

I've just sent this to my Dad, I was crying with laughter at it.
And it can be said be that most of it is true.
So when's your launch party??

I was disappointed by the absence of linux as a viable alternative, plus Brooker wrote almost exactly the same article about 1 year ago.
With linux you can have things working and looking like a Mac, with the cost of a PC, and without having to line the pockets of Mssrs Gates and Jobs! We all win!

Linux was not omitted as a viable alternative...Anonymous clearly missed the following...
"OK: I know other operating systems are available. But their advocates seem even creepier, snootier and more insistent than Mac owners."
