This is damn true. No one, mac fantatic or windows fanboy can claim to be bug free. I use both OSX and Windows 7 on my macbook, and while I love them both, they're far from perfect. This goes the same with Ubuntu.

Its true....Its funny though because I used to be so anti-mac. I told all my friends they were so over priced and not worth it and told them not to buy them. Then made fun of them after they bought it. I understand now though.

Kinda the same here. My girlfriend was talking about getting a MacBook for months and I kept telling her not to get Mac and blah blah blah... She finally went ahead and bought one (MacBook Pro) and I have to say that after using it for about two weeks now I'm kinda looking in getting one for myself...

Oh, I'm sure they will fix it, and so they should....

But where is this mysterious magical better-than-PC OS that "just works"?

A computer is a computer is a computer. If it does what you want then it's perfect for you....

But a Mac is not better than a PC because it's a Mac.
