You can get spyware from just surfing the web trying to track down drivers (it's happened to me), and don't feed me this nonsense about "You can install anti-spy/virus software and it'll be fine!"
My computer should not be like my cat in that I have to clean up after and vaccinate both of them. A computer should be like a TV: as long as I don't fling something through its screen, it'll sit there and do its job and not need to be cleansed of malware and defragmented.
I buy Macs because they just work. I don't need to install anything else on them. I don't need to pay any extra attention to them. They just sit there and do their job without issue or complaint.
Speaking as a guy who has had windows computers fail on him at key moments, yes, I WILL pay an extra $2,000 for the stability, reliability and versatility of a Mac.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
