How close is this video to reality about Macintosh computers?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGrb5Cssmcg

I know some of the stuff in it is embellishment because windows has some of the same problems.

Oh and poll, unrelated.

Poll option	Votes	Percentage
Steve Jobs currently has AIDS	2	20%
Steve Jobs currently has cancer	2	20%
Steve Jobs currently has both AIDS and cancer	1	10%
Steve Jobs has some other bodily illness	-	0%
Steve Jobs is not ill, he's just faking	5	50%

No. That video is bullshit. You can say the same thing about any operating system. That guy pisses me off.

So it says PCs are used by people who like to cause noise pollution and Macs are used by people who don't mind going really slowly. I'd rather have a smartfortwo car.

Pure bullshit? I know he's embellishing, but I've not used a Mac since they had black and white screens and I only used it briefly.

I own a desktop PC. Now personally, if I owned a laptop I'd get a Mac laptop purely for style and keep my PC for function because a lot of software is PC only.

Of course in that picture analogy of Mac being a tricycle and PC being a motorcycle, I'd think a Linux would be a 20 year old really beat up car that's falling apart (everything worn out can barely run) that you have to either be a mechanic to be able to fix or to spend a fortune on mechanics repairing it. And if that beat up car runs well, it's because you're a mechanic and you spent endless time fixing it up and caring for it. But in the hands of a novice, it's a piece of shit car. Thoughts on this anyone?

analogy fits if it's like a 10-year-old distro or arch
orbongo/fedora/opensuse are extremely easy to use
