I have been a Mac user since the beginning of the graphic user interface. Back in the days when M$ Windows was a hideous ugly and non-functional mess it was clear why the Mac was better. Now with Microsoft making ‘Windows’ more visually appealing it is less obvious why Macs just work better. To most tech savvy users it is clear that Microsoft has done a nice job of dressing the Windows OS up but when it comes to making M$ Windows work for you recognize that putting lipstick on a pig does not a Prom Date make.

Yesterdays Washington Post has a concise article on Mac OS X and how it simplifies the user’s job of getting things done while being stable and secure. I suggest that users of Windows read the article so you know what you are missing and Mac users read it so you know how much you have to be thankful for.
