That article reeks of MS Fanboyism.

Edit: WTF is up with this little line:
"So is the mini a maxi value? For me, clearly, no. When I consider that a good deal of my time is spent running applications like Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update and Ad-Aware--none of which are available for the Mac platform--it doesn't make sense for me to "switch" to a Mac at this time. "

OMFG... everyone get your sarcasm meters checked...
yall are all too uptight...

That's some mighty fine grammar there... :roll:

IIRC, he's from Texas. That's Nobel Prize material down thar. 😉

- M4H

Damn right... Y'all has been amended to the southern dictionary... its acceptable here sorry =P

who crawled up your ass and died?
 
And then there's this little thing at the bottom of the article:

"Jorge Lopez is a DeVry graduate with an MCSE certification and is currently the Chief Software Reviewer at Divisiontwo.com's Technology Insider."
 
that is freaking horrible.
some of the stuff i agree with, zero expandability sucks, (both in AND out) which is the major deal with this thing.

but the other parts of the article are retarded.

the part about not being able to run ad aware, windows update, etc makes me LOL... if you have a MAC you do not need to run that!!, period!
 
Most of you must be retarded.
That article is satire.
Go to the main site... use your head.
 
OMG! - This is soo funny! 😀 😀 Brilliant stuff! I can't believe so many of you missed so many clever details.

"when the Mini is first turned on, during normal operation the unit makes no sound whatsoever. This could make it very difficult for a novice user to know whether or not the computer is on. In fact, it took our techs about fifteen minutes before we realized the unit itself was operating normally and it was the monitor that was not plugged in properly. It turns out the Mini uses a weird kind of display connector on the back that requires a special adapter if you want to plug it into a PC monitor. We used a 15? Compaq VGA display."

"The Mini boots up into a stripped-down operating system which Apple calls OS X, similar to the stripped-down WindowsCE OS found on many handhelds."

"...but Apple includes a program called Mail, which is like a stripped-down email client that can?t execute scripts or open attachments without user intervention. Personally I find it annoying, but if someone doesn?t depend on emailing their coworkers vbscripts like I do, they might be able to get by with it. Secondly and possibly even more glaringly, there is no antivirus program shipped with the Mac. In today?s climate of non-stop worms, trojans..."

"Nor is there a Mac version of helpful web and email enhancers like Hotbar. Or any equivalent of the DealHelper software I use to keep track of my passwords."

" My Office 2003 CD would not install, despite claims I had heard from Mac fanboys that OS X is compatible with Office."

" Heck, the Internet Explorer icon isn?t even out on the taskbar by default, it?s buried in the c:\applications folder. "
