If you run Windows 99% of the time, then maybe a Windows laptop is what you need? Seems like common sense.
Even outside of that, though, it sounds like this guy is basically a n00b. I've owned Macs for about 10 years now and never hit these issues (I know, I know, anecdotes, blah blah blah). I mean, come on. Worms? Seriously? What is he doing? Sitting on public wi-fi with his whole hard drive shared?
And his hardware problems would be fixed...had he gotten the extended warranty he whined about. That's standard for any laptop vendor; computers break, that's what the warranty is for.
Apple's not perfect by any means, but it sounds like this guy got two lemon laptops or he simply doesn't know WTF he's doing.
Exactly. That's the same kind of approach detractors to Windows take. Blue screens are actually caused by third-party driver issues, for example, yet are still used as a negative point when they are virtually nonexistent in current versions of Windows.
