Meanwhile, this Mac running 10.2.8 has had uptimes as long as 150 days, brought down only by power outages.

But in the next few years the same PCI architecture is coming to PCs (greatest PC advancment in 12 years), so PCs will be able to run as smoothly as macs do. A lot of audio/video software is expected to switch to PC, seeing how the majority of people are PC people.

Presuming they're accurately representing the situation, it seems like a kind of "head in the sand" approach, since if someone did target the Mac, it could be a disaster waiting to happen.
