That is still complete and utter bollocks.
That would be "me and the vast majority of users." All of this stuff about problems with non Apple peripherals is either (a) Harking back to the days of the Mac 128, 512 or SE or (b) referring to peripherals so old that even Windows doesn't support them.
I still use a PowerMac 601 running System 7 for some jobs, it's so old that it doesn't have USB. So getting anything connected to it is unlikely, some of your comments may apply to that computer. However its contemporary was a 486sx PC running Windows 3.1, care to tell me how many of those are currently running and supporting current PC peripherals? That computer ran for so long and was infinitely upgradeable since all I had to do was to fit yet another driver to the SCSI chain that I never bothered upgrading or buying a new one. It ran for 15 years and indeed still runs today.
Over than same period I went through at least five Wintel laptops and countless numbers of desktop boxes all superseded because they didn't support some peripheral or other or because Windows would no longer run on them. Indeed I have a lock-up with several racks full of PC peripherals that no longer work *with PCs*.
And I repeat for the hard of thinking that just about everything that I have bought recently has bene branded for use with a PC, and has worked just fine with my Mac. Indeed, rather than you being full of piss and wind, I'd love you to tell me which peripherals you have or know of that do not work with the Mac, or for which there is no reasonably priced substitute. And also I'd need proof that those same peripherals also work with Vista.
I agree with you, and what do you find inside a fold? Sheep.
And to make that point, you did of course have to delete all the ad hominem you previously posted and develop teflon shoulders.
