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. "

That article was written by a moron.

3rd paragraph: The Mac mini isn't smaller than most packs of gum or wieghs less than 4 quarters. That's the Ipod shuffle.

Bah, I started to do a point by point rebuttal of how stupid that tool was but then realized it was a tongue in cheek. Don't feed the trolls folks!

Is this guy a moron, or is he trying to write satire?

I'm not even sure what I'm reading here, but whatever it is, "very informative" it's not.
