"Mac doesn't get PC viruses!Fast Intel processors are standard on every Mac. world's most advanced operating system Mac OS X Snow Leopard" After all this comments all I can say is that this couldn't come out of Apple's marketing department. This can only come out of an ill-informed fan. Let me try to clear your misconceptions: 1. Fastest Intel processors are still not there in a Mac. They are still running on Core2Duo. A Mac refresh last month has probably moved to Intel i-series, am not sure. 2. Viruses: Of course Windows virus would never affect a Mac, because viruses are written on OS. Virus writers would try to target an OS having 95% market share rather than waste their time with a 5% one. For all the security of Macs you claim they are the first one taken down every single time at the Pwn2Own hacking contest. 3. Coming to the most advanced OS part. Please dont pass your opinion as a fact. An OS is an enabler to what you want to do. There is a reason why 95% of the world uses Windows. There are folks who use Linux in different flavours. Heck, even Unix flavours were tried on the desktop. Please dont call all of the folks who use these OSes stupid.
Would request you to give a more balanced view as a journo rather than a wide-eyed fanboy.

No operating system has a 95% market share. Windows fanboys are the only people that would believe such a fairy tale.

dear author, Imma let you finish but Apple uses inferior hardware & charges superior prices for its shiny dabbas & it doesn't give a $h!t about India. BTW I love Ubuntu.
You mention nothing that'll make someone switch from PC to Mac. The article is way too vague. All you're doing is listing out the products and saying "Mac is better". Going by the title "The fascinating evolution of Apple's Mac", you don't go into any details and this makes your article very weak and uninformative. In an attempt to cover everything, you've really covered nothing of any importance to anyone. Please improve upon this or refrain from posting such articles - it brings down the quality of your site.
For someone who is used to Microsoft's windows MAC definitely comes out as a handicap. For the bulk of the users who are not interested in special features this article will be ununderstandable.
