I wouldn't give up my Mac or my Linux PC for anything, but over the years I've found that Microsoft products are vastly superior to what they were circa 2000.

BTW, you can blame Microsoft all you want, but they're the ones holding 90% of the desktop market, not our Macs and Linux PCs. Their consumer products might not be top-notch, but they did many things right - things which Apple and Sun and Linux vendors failed to do.

I think it's a sensible point of view and highly recommend the book.
