I think the older Macs are not to be compared with todays models. We have an iMac like in that video and it is crappy, but we only paid about £50 for it just so we could see what our users who have macs are looking at when they need help.

One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't

Hammers are better than screw drivers are better than wrenches.

 

You gotta pick the right tool for the job.

For the extreme enthusiast that likes to tweak every thing and doesn't mind spending 24 hours on something that should take 10 minutes or less, it doesn't really matter.

 

My parents rendered their Windows PC inoperable three times in a row in less than three months.  The number of phone calls I received from them about the PC and the weekends I spent reinstalling Windows were a real pain.  On the fourth time they destroyed it, I said, "That's it.  We're going to CompUSA and you're buying a Mac."

 

That was like three years ago and their Mac is still running like a champ.  I haven't had a "Help me with my computer" phone call in months either.

 

Couple of categories missing there, most importantly:

And

They used to have different hardware (basing on Motorola CPUs AFAIR) but not anymore.

 

The processors were IBM processors before they switched to Intel. The last IBM processor was the G5.

I like this:

4,446,611 Mac fans switched back over to Windows, even though Windows is just as shitty.

Current Mac CPUs use Intel's x86 architecture; models from 1994-2006 used the AIM alliance's PowerPC and models from 1984-1994 used Motorola's 68k.

 

Wow... look like I missed 1994-2006 era completely
