I think you're blowing this a bit out of proportion. All I implied was 
that this was a bad example to use; a large-scale purchase like this 
really has no bearing on the situation for the individual user. No 
myths purported here.

In the end, I think the point of the original post (which I still agree 
with) is that some Mac users have a tendancy to exxagurate the problems 
inherent in other platforms (even when they don't have any first-hand 
experience with them), and to downplay the significant problems with 
the Mac OS, as if pointing them out were some sort of personal insult.

I just don't see that there's anything to be gained from being more 
dogmatic than anyone else on the list.
