Actually, every time I find myself in a situation where I have to use someone elses PC, I usually run into enough problems that I become extremely thankful I am, apparently, a "dumbfuck" of an Apple user. It just works, and that is what I need. I wouldn't mind being able to play a 10+ year old game on my computer, but not being able to isn't a very big deal when it does everything else I need it to do flawlessly and headache free.
And it has nothing to do with looks. My MacBook is really beat up, and rather unpleasant looking these days, but she still runs as good as the day I bought her. It is also worth mentioning that this is the sixth laptop I have owned in the last ten years and my first Apple, and quality wise it is far above and beyond any of the others I have owned.
