Another point to consider when evaluating any data set evaluation (not just 
computers):
"75% of all statistics are meaningless"

This group, of all of them, should be aware of idiots operating _any_ computer.

 

Can the Mac form the backbone of an enterprise IT environment? No. Can it do 
all the things the PC guy claimed the Windows machine could do (once he got 
past the personal attacks)? Yes. 

 

Does that mean the Windows-powered machine is better than the Mac? Well, 
apparently, it is better at _something_.

 

On the list of the Top 500 supercomputing sites, as of June 2006 
(http://top500.org/lists/2006/06), two (2) were powered by Windows, with ranks 
of 130 and 470, and five (5) were powered by Mac OS, with the highest rank 
being 28 and the lowest being 468.

 

Does that mean that the Mac OS is better than Windows? Well, apparently, it is 
better at _something_.

 

Don't be a hater, dude.
