the followup article (which I had never seen before) was devastating. Of
course the first article was the source of the initial devastation, but
this is certainly worse.

In reality though, do people buy Mac OSX because they feel like they are

MacBook as running Windows faster than any Windows laptop but
really...are you gonna buy a MacBook to run Windows?)
