This is my first column written on a Mac - ever. Maybe I should have done it a long time ago, but I never said I was smart, just obstinate. I was a PC bigot.

글쓴이는 스위쳐로서 윈텔의 문제점을 다음과 같이 정리하였군요.
<b>Windows is complex, trying to be everything to everyone.</b> This complexity comes at a terrible price: downtime, help desks, upgrades, patches and the inevitable failures.
<b>When a new operating system or service pack is released, there are tons of changes to the functionality.</b>
<b>WinTel machines use different versions of BIOS</b> They are not all equal, nor do they all have the same level of compatibility.
<b>Some Windows software applications are well written; others take shortcuts.</b> Shortcuts may work in some environments, but not all, and ultimately the consumer pays in lost time, availability and productivity.
<b>Hardware.</b> There are hundreds of "WinTel-compatible" motherboards, each claiming to be better than the next. Whatever.
<b>Memory.</b> Not all RAM is equal. Some works well. Cheap stuff doesn’t.
<b>Hard disks.</b> Same problem: cheap or reliable. Your call.
