Time You Enjoy Wasting Is Not Wasted Time

Why is it that the biggest news about the latest Mac OS, Leopard, all seems to revolve around running Windows and Windows programs? Between rumors about native Windows application support to Apple’s very own top 10 next big things it would seem that the best thing about that shiny new Mac is that it is all about the Windows. For some reason I would rather dispense with the condescending elitist Apple hardware and just run Windows on a regular PC.

I can just see it now, the Bobs from Office Space come in to interview current Mac users:

BOB SLYDELL
So what you do is you run Windows Vista and Office 2007 on your Mac?

Mac User
That, that’s right.

BOB PORTER
Well, then I gotta ask, then why can’t you just run Vista and Office on a PC, huh?

Mac User
Well, uh, uh, uh, because, uh, PCs are not good at dealing with software.

BOB SLYDELL
So your Mac never crashes?

Mac User
Well, no, my, my Mac does that, it, it does crash.

BOB SLYDELL
Ah.

BOB PORTER
Then you must have better productivity running Windows on your Mac.

Mac User
Well…no. Yeah, I mean, sometimes.

BOB SLYDELL
Well, what would you say… you do here?

Mac User
Well, look, I already told you. I run Windows on the goddamn Macintosh so
I am better than you!! I have Apple skills!! I am good at
dealing with Apple!!! Can’t you understand that?!? WHAT THE HELL IS
WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!!!!!!!
