Story: Apple Mac OS X Tiger: a first look

Personally, I'm not surprised. And you, the audience, are? Come on! This is a PC-centric website. They say they 'want' to understand the Mac, but until they actually use one (like David Coursey and the famous "30 days using only a Mac" that turned out to be three months), they have NOTHING to report!
Mac users, like me, often come to PC sites to see if they have finally 'found the light'. However, if the market-share of the Mac remains low, the obvious thing to say is that many people haven't discovered the joy of not only owning a Mac, but using it, too.
The only thing I expect to see Mac-related on PC-based websites is more fear of that which is not known. This comes off as defensive journalistic practices bashing the other side subtly while desperately defending their bread 'n butter. Ultimately, this tech journalist, Daniel Drew Turner, is just like any other corporate, American reporter disgracing the profession and accompanying ethics of journalism. Wake up Danny-boy! Get the whole side before reporting the fact that you know nothing about Macs. I'm not even going to go into your technical errors and omissions.
The real place for Mac users to read about the Mac is on a Mac-centric website for unbiased reporting.
As for the Mac-faithful crowd reading this, Patience, young padawan. Didn't you ever hear the tale of "The Hundredth Monkey" or the saying that "it is always darkest before the dawn?"
