My opinion is that this review is far too generous to Microsoft Windows.

Not since the pre-Win95 days has there been such a stark contrast between the Mac vs. PC and a plainly obvious winner in that age old 'which is better?' debate. It's the Mac by far.

Anyone buying a new PC system running MSFT Windows 8.1 (or upgrading to 8.1) and using an Android phone or Nexus tablet is just flat wrong. It's so bad as to be embarrassing.

I had to replace two computers, and both replacements came with Windows 8. I can only ask, what were the geniuses at Microsoft THINKING when they wrote that OS? For crying out loud, Windows XP was better.

I got Windows 8.1, and it works fine, got it set up to my liking, and I works for me 100%. Yeah, I hated it at first, but now I “get” it, and all that I don’t like about it, I just don’t use.

Thanks for the article.

I have a Mac Mini (Mountain Lion) and I run Windows 7 as a Virtual machine via Parallels 8.

I use two monitors at home, and occasionally a third monitor if I need a bit more space.

I went Mac when Windows 8 came out. WTF was Microsoft thinking?

My computer really works well as I have Microsoft Office Professional installed and use multiple programs easily.

OS 10.8 is pleasant to use, syncs to my iPad and iPhone instantly and serves music and movies to the house entertainment system via Apple TV.

If Mavericks seems good, I’ll do the free upgrade. Sounds like a few nice features.

Will I ever go back to a 100% Windows computer? Who knows...

I put this small computer into my computer bag, add a keyboard and mouse, a 16” USB monitor and a 15’ poser cord. It’s remarkably portable and has two 750 GB internal drives (1.1 TB used). I have never been so happy with a computer as I have two great OS in one very small package.

It’s a tremendous machine that I never would have purchased if Microsoft had not screwed up it’s OS with Windows 8.

If they didn’t give OSX a ludicrous 10 on the bogus “value” scale these scores would probably be identical.

lol
