Windows expert Preston Gralla was challenged to work with Apple's MacBook Air for two weeks. Will he ever go back to a PC?

interesting read and nice to see someone with a little more of an open mind than most mainstream "journalists", quite a few errors however but thats to be expected as he has only really started using a mac. Things such as having to use the command key for right click options on the trackpad. If you put two fingers on the trackpad and click it works as a "right click".

I am too lazy right now to point out the other technical errors but I do agree that OSX is a superior operating system to windows. Obviously not to gamers but as an overall OS it is better in quite a few regards. I use about 4 operating systems daily..
