Editor's Notebook

While Microsoft rolled out Windows 7 Thursday, “a retooled version of its controversial Windows Vista program, will work out some of the technical kinks that killed Vista’s heavily promoted marketing momentum in 2006,” I am left to wonder.

Why?

PC people are PC people, and it is hard to convert them, but I don’t get it.

Macs are easier to use, more proficient and just plain better computers.

Are they a little more expensive?

Yes.

But when you are driving a Yugo, wouldn’t you rather spend a little more money and buy a car that isn’t going to break down on the side of the road, leaving you stranded?

Just asking.
