Newsflash - Scoble reviews the iMac

Ah, you’ve got to give the man some credit - he’s paid by Microsoft, after all, and he’s not done banging the drum just yet. His take on the new iMac:

why get this when you can actually get a Tablet PC that you can take off your desk and walk around with?

Errm - because that would mean running Windows, Robert. Blue Screen Of Death, 5-minute bootups, registry corruption, driver clashes, popups because the Messenger service is enabled by default, spyware because the firewall isn’t enabled by default, Service Pack 2, etc, etc, etc.

Need I say more?

Actually, I’m getting tired of the whole Micosoft-versus-Apple-PC-versus-Mac debate - it’s wholly pointless, because it gets religious, and pointless. I switched from Windows to Mac because I got tired of having to work around Windows all the time, instead of working with it. There’s nothing I can’t do with a Mac that I could with a PC, and the Mac works, first time, every time.

When Windows stops falling over, and I don’t have to tweak the damn registry, and there isn’t a security patch to be installed every 3 days - then I’ll look at Windows again. But I can’t see it happening any time soon.
