There seems to be a lot of fuss about this picture. There have been a lot of Diggs on it and a lot of comments about how Windows sucks and Macs rules on Flickr.

Are people too deluded to see anything other than what they want to see to give them a 5 second laugh and to say:

M$ SUCKS!!!

It is getting extremely annoying.  There are a lot of positives about Windows and a lot of negatives, I cannot deny that.  But the same goes for Mac’s too.  They are not without their problems.  A major one of which is actually down to the growing arrogant owners club who seem to think they are better than everyone else because they have a Mac.

There are lots of people saying how much Microsoft and Windows sucks because it’s too slow and crashes all the time. They are generally using Vista on sub £300 Acer’s and think they are getting next gen technology. They seem to expect a miracle out of a Celeron M, well it won’t happen.

A user by the name of Plutux seems to have the most logical answer and even claims to be at the speech in question. The Mac was used by the previous speakers and was left on stage.  Steve Balmer was not using a laptop on stage and was controlling his slides using a clicker most likely attached to a computer behind the stage.

So here is a plea. Please stop all this “Macs are better than PC’s” (due to the fact that the sentance is actually incorrect for many different reasons) and “M$ suck” and “Apple suck”.  It’s annoying and virtually all of the arguments are stupid and have no factual proof. It is purely down to what you need it for and how you intend to use it, everyone is suited differently.
