My dell laptop is 4 years old. It was the most basic model and was what I could afford at the time. It has performed flawlessly since I purchased it. I have never had any problems with viruses or other malware and it's never crashed. A shred of common sense and intelligence is all you need to keep a pc working properly. The "problems" associated with windows xp and vista have been blown way out of proportion and don't apply to the average user. I'll probably use this computer for another year or two and then get another dell. If I'm perfectly happy with windows, why would I go through the hassle of buying and selling a machine every year just to own a mac? The whole premise of this article is way too oversimplified.
