Comments on: Oh, you’re killing me. Killing!

Digression from hating Microsoft-branded journalists into fighting the entire basis for 70% of the world's religions seems inevitable. I do, in all respects, think you're being naive to say that Macs aren't benefiting from small market share. Wait wait wait - before you hate me - look at why a person hacks a PC or writes a virus. It brings down businesses, it gets personal information, it steals important corporate data or opens back doors to said corporate data. How many Fortune 500's (Aside from Apple) run a completely Mac network? I'd say such a small percentage it would round to the same % as Mac has viruses. Zero. I fail to see how/why people base their argument for "market" on stupid home PCs and Best Buy sales. Corporations and large networks (universities and medical facilities) have always been the prime target. Everything else is just a bunch of carnival magic show antics. Put $3B in corporate infrastructure, HR records, and sensitive data on a completely Mac network (outside of Apple) and you'd see more interest.

I was hoping for some well-deserved critcism on maybe printing, gaming or other areas that Macs do suck at however the quote was from the author's son (unknown age).

He probably received a few dozen emails about such unfounded statements. Do you know why he said such a thing? Because it's more popular to write articles about how Microsoft is a large company.
