Okay, so this is a bit warped. Interestingly, I had just listed to an episode of TWIT ("This week in tech" by Leo Laporte) where someone in the gang of about 5 commented that the security in OS-X was quite weak, but that thankfully no one ever wants to attack it. Perhaps the worm-writer was a member of the TWIT Army feeling sorry for Mac users? While that seems far-fetched, the author perhaps understood that, as this article points out, they would be "gleeful" when it was "born free."
Perverse pleasures may be pleasurable, but they remain... perverse...

I have used both, and am sticking with the Windows platform now, more out of familiarity than anything else. I remember when I first used the Mac, and I thought "THIS they call intuitive?" After a while, I remembered much of my reading about intuition, and that intuition is just thoughts and behaviors so internalized that they become "second nature."
When one intuitively knows an answer it is because they have seen, or thought about, similar problems quite often (or are smart enough that they few examplars they did see they learned from quickly). It is the same, in my opinion, with the "intuitive" nature of Apple versus MS-Apple, er Windows.
I grew up in DOS, so I expect a file structure. Once I got past that, I enjoyed the MAC OS system.
I think MS is a bit scared--that's why they have had to lift OS-X and call it "vista!" *smile*
Oh, I am a huge fan of Steve Jobs and the Apple Industrial Design. in fact, it seems all my favorite books about corporations have one thing in common--Steve Jobs. Even books that I would NEVER have thought would have him in them, like one of my favorites "Code Name Ginger" by Steve Kemper. Check it out!
Oh, and the latest acquisition at the Barnes and Noble near me? The Apple Way--12 management lessons from the world's most innovative company" by Jeffrey cruikshank.
Perhaps I should start blogging on these books!
