Is this satire? What is the underlying message... I feel it's gone over my head.
I suspect this is targeted at people who are giving Microsoft a hard time over problems in Windows XP and prior- For instance, people still joke about Windows Bluescreens, but they are a very infrequent occurrence in Win7.

BSODs once a day or so with the high-end Windows 7 64-bit boxes. More often, if they try to run backups with them. Yes, diagnostics have been run, etc. Microsoft has problems with the permutations and the qualifications and all the anti-malware stuff, unfortunately; they're phenomenal with dealing with all that, and phenomenal is just holding even with the complexity they have to deal with.

The only time I've seen BSODs on Windows 7 was after it had 6 viruses and I had to clean it all up.

Most often BSODs are caused by third party device drivers.
Apple solved this problem years ago.

Windows 7 has been out less than a year. The vast majority of computer users are either running Vista -- which, let's face it, was a failure of epic proportions -- or Windows XP. We compare what we experience. So given that Windows XP was a success (and was released in 2001), the first successful product launch for Microsoft since then came in July of last year when Windows 7 hit... yet by the author's reasoning, we're the fools for comparing OS X to Windows XP.
Right.
