[QUOTE="technologist, post: 37393, member: 4134"] It's a fact that there are more commercial applications for Windows. It's a fact that Linux is free. It's a fact that there are more viruses and worms (and spyware) for Windows than for other platforms. There is also lots of factual evidence to support some opinions. I'm of the opinion that Apple hardware is more reliable, on average, than the competition. I base this on evidence from [URL=http://www.consumerreports.org/main/detailv4.jsp?CONTENT%3C%3Ecnt_id=429609&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=161605&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=333133&bmUID=1088194105293]Consumer Reports[/URL] and [URL=http://common.ziffdavisinternet.com/download/0/2098/Desktop_SurveyResults.pdf]PC Magazine[/URL].
