There seems to have been a number of CPers who have purchased Macs lately.

I wonder if some of these posts may not have given them some food for thought?

It sounds like the OS is still highly regarded, but the hardware being used in their closed system may be weak point (although Fotze and BlackEleven seem to have had recent OS issues).

And there was just an investgative report by KIRO news which makes it appear like Apple is trying to stonewall any negative publicity. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...FB007CAA25.DTL

Actually, with the number of ipods sold, I don't think the failure rate is a bad thing - no commercial product will be 100% - but the actions taken by Apple's legal teams seem somewhat strong.
