The need to justify one's decisions seems to be worsening. This is the sole reason for the never-ending moaning about the superiority of the Mac versus the Windows platform versus Linux. According to each camp, their solution—their choice—is superior. By what criteria? If you were to rate the platforms by the total amount of software that can run on them, then Windows is clearly superior. What other criteria would you suggest? If you were to choose the cheapest, highest-performing platform, then Linux is clearly superior. It runs faster than Windows and runs on the cheapest hardware. If you make coolness and usability the main criteria, then the Mac easily wins.
