Re: Apple Computer sides with Satan

I run both XP and OSX on multiple computers. OS X is far more stable. It's
not even remotely a contest. OS X also is far more resistent to security
breaches, again, not even a contest.

So why do I run XP at all?

Because Mac software is either nonexistent, overpriced or feature-thin.
