I have to agree about the bouncing icons. The odd twist though is that you basically have to "catch" the icon with your mouse because it keeps jumping making it hard to click on.

The thing is, he's combining OS 9 problems with OS X problems. OS 9 does that thing with the CD copying files (That was annoying to me) and OS X does the software update thing.

Well, its just for fun. He does use them, so I think he has a bit more ground to attack it rather than your average PC user simply screaming "MAC SUX111!!"

Man that's as old as...well when OSX did those type of commercials. A good laugh, too. I wonder whatever happened to that guy.

Maybe he took his video seriously and bought a PC with Adobe Premiere! :D

Who knows.

Seen if before a lot but it's still funny... because I came across pretty much all those problems with Windows (bar the bouncing icon thing... but I prefer that to a flashing orange thing anyway)

haha. I love all the clueless people out there who have no idea what the're talking about, and just jump on the "Macs suck" bandwagon. Everytime i get into a PC/Mac debate, i just ask them how many known viruses there are for PC, and how many for Mac. Shuts them up pretty quickly, most of the time.

If I try to use that argument, I always get "That's because no ones uses them because they suck!"

I tend not to engage in the mac vs pc thing. And certainly not in person. If someone asks me why I use a Mac, I simply say because I like the way they run and handle things, its preference. I dont go into it beyond that. Its just not that important to me. I do however find this video to be funny. :D

The video is very funny. I'm one of a few people at work who use Macs.. in a VERY VERY VERY PC entrenched environment.. yet we work on nothing but *nix boxes really.. But I digress.. I actually catch only the random good natured ribbing about using my Mac for work rather than the issued laptop.. other than that more people have been interested in checking it out than anything else. Esp the Ubuntu fans ;)
