Comment on Apple’s Greatest Advantage: The Apple Ecosystem by Mike

I was a PC user but have used Macs for both business and personal needs for nearly 2 decades. The only real complaint I have is Microsoft's (quite understandable) reluctance to give Mac Office the same bells & whistles it reserves for PCs. But that's the only way they can hope to compete, since Mac OSX is clearly a superior OS and their vast Office dominance is a cash cow. (Don't agree? Just ask 10 PC users & 10 Mac users how often their system freezes/crashes and has to be rebooted. BTW, in my case, it was ONCE in the past 3 years. It just doesn't happen!!) I also agree with the post regarding the ergonomics of Apple design. Last night I was looking at a Blackberry keyboard - with dark red numbers on a black background! What the hell are they thinking?? As the man said: 'Apple would never do that!' The bottom line is that what Apple really sells an enjoyable, satisfying experience. Yes, you pay a premium for that experience, but it pales by comparison to the cost of psychotherapy for dealing with the alternatives!
