Mark Morford is a columnist at SFGate.com. He recently wrote a great column about Microsoft’s Windows OS in which he asks the question, “Why does Windows still suck?” It’s a great contrast between the Windows and Mac experience. Here’s a small preview:

There is nothing else like this phenomenon in the entire consumer culture. If anything else performed as horribly as Windows, and on such a global scale, consumers would scream bloody murder and demand their money back and there would be some sort of investigation, class-action litigation, a demand for Bill Gates’ cute little geeky head on a platter…. And with very few exceptions, every Mac owner everywhere on the planet simply looks at all this viral chaos and spyware noise and Microsoft apologia and shrugs. And smiles. And pretty much ignores it all outright, and gets back to work.

Anyway, here’s the article: Why Does Windows Still Suck? - Why do PC users put up with so many viruses and worms? Why isn’t everyone on a Mac?
