[actually it seemed the tasks were well-defined common office productivity tasks.  Hopefully office workers are not surfing you-tube?

No one is going to run out and get a 20 year old mac beecause of this article. On the other hand a lot of unecessary upgrading is done in office environments. I think the point was well made. Why get touchY?

I know because I ran AVG just recently on request by the IT folks at my place. It did a complete scan and found nothing. I uninstalled it thereafter.

As an aside, on my notebooks, I can't really say that WinXP runs slow as hell. It runs fast enough. I don't run any anti-virus software and I don't get viruses; I do run Windows Firewall.

Wow, how do you know you don't have any viruses if you're not running any antivirus? A firewall will do diddly squat to protect you against virus or trojan infection. For example the recent animated cursor exploit simply requires that you visit a malicious website (or a site with links to that malicious site). AVG does a free version of their antivirus software which is pretty good for the price.

Of course no one will do that because advances in technology did improve productivity. Sure, no one is surfing you-tube. But I'm pretty sure thumb-drives or some USB devices like card readers etc are used in common office environment.

I don't think the point was well made. It was yet another meaningless jab at MS for the sake of jabbing at it.

He made his point. I made mine. Why get so defensive over the article?

usb is a decade old. hardly an excuse for tri-annual upgrades as companies like Dell suggest. This is getting silly though.
