And I thought it was an open source-windows war. Now windows is taking it to the other side. Apparently it depends on the price stratification. Open source bash windows windows bash mac and open source. Mac bash windows. Oh am seeing a pattern here. Its the problem of being in the middle thats disturbing window. Alijaribu kupita kati kati yao!!

Anyway, bashing aside, every seller looks for a niche, and mac have found theirs and are filling it very well, their prices and finish quality is all about their niche market. It so happens that macs are so good that people seem to want them, despite their reservations on other systems. Therefore, people know if you want a mac you pay the price. Same goes to all the  other systems, if you want freedom, you get linux.

Now the problem with windows. Nah let me not talk about it for now, this may just start a flame war. LEt me just stop where praise macs.
