What many are missing is that this is written by an informed Mac user who has chosen satire to make fun of the Windows operating system.

There is nothing in the article but inaccuracies and statements about how wasteful, unproductive, and inefficient the Windows OS is. The closing comment, for those that don't get satire, is making fun of all the time that a Windows user spends doing totally undesirable tasks. Tasks that are only necessary on the Windows platform and due to the Mac's inherent security, are unnecessary on the Mac. The HAVE to use those products, while they don't even exist on the Mac.
