If you want something that works as well as a MAC, why not buy a MAC?
I can't help but laugh at this.
If only Apple had half the growing pains and market exposure that Microsoft does. As for working as well as anything... well, here's my official 2 cents.
A Mac is not a rockstar.. they do need reboots. Gorgeous hardware and a boutique price tag for moderate value. They are and will forver be a victim of virus'. You just don't hear about them because it doesn't affect what - 93% of the WORLD? They do have their own set of issues.
I'd like an iPhone be able to accept a meeting request via exchange... or maybe not have a pukable mail experience which is optimized for POP3 (so 1980's). But - people build apps for it and it's killer for browsing the internet.

I'd love to have a conversation about battery life for any iphone owner who is a very active user.
I think of the app store as McDonalds... over 1 billion served and something for everyone -but it's far from the 'best' at anything other than surfing the internet. First to market for their targeted segment (just like McDonalds).
(I'm not Apple bashing because they are an amazing company with a leader who can create a market out of a cloud).
What happens when Steve Jobs is no longer around...... Ask any reputable analyst. Apple is in trouble.
