Of course, this doesn't count, because it's a trojan. </troll>

Gotta love the comment about "the problem is that Mac users don't
understand how computers work - that's why they're Mac users, after all".
No blatant Mac haters in here then... :-P

The whole argument is of course completely vacuous; both operating
systems require roughly the same amount of knowledge to use. But some
people like to feel smugly superior for no good reason.

I disagree. I think a lot of people prefer a Mac exactly because it's
easier. That is, indeed, a primary selling point. I haven't used a Mac much,
but from everything I've heard, it's easier for end users to administer,
keep running smoothly, etc.

I guess the difference is not so much an inherent difference in
difficulty of administration - but rather the fact that there's plenty
of 3rd party tools out there to help you screw up Windows PCs (from
malware over trojans to so-called applications, games, hardware drivers,
etc.)

That doesn't mean that anybody who uses a Mac is automatically stupid.
