HAHA, I love the way that Picture says "Microsoft, Stop making fun of us" when PC's have nothing to do with Microsoft, hasn't anyone every heard of Linux?
Well, I chose OS X (Mac) over Windows for a number of reasons.
1) It just works, Macs have NO viruses, NO spyware, NO Problems.
2) Installing an Application only involves dragging the disk into my applications folder
3) Uninstalling an Application only involves dragging it into the trash
4) Photoshop runs perfectly on OS X
5) My Mac takes less then 20 seconds to turn on from a cold boot
These are just a few of the reasons I love Mac but I have many many more.

You dont run everything in DOS, because DOS is a 8-bit Operating System capable of running 8MB of RAM with a 2GB Hard Drive. It dosnt even support any more then 16 colors (not 16 billion, just 16)
So you might use the Command Prompt/PowerShell/Terminal to open your applications but they're all running on a 32-bit Windows Based Kernel.
Your games dont "play in binary" Binary is raw machine code.
And as for that video, I can think of more games for OS X then I can for Windows. http://www.apple.com/games/
Please dont think from this that i'm having a go at you but you DO use Windows/Linux not DOS, Your Games run in a programming language like C++ and not machine code and PCs arnt PCs unless they have GUIs so...

Personally, I run Windows. I run Windows because I have always ran Windows. Macs are great for video editing and graphical programs like Bryce 3D (or so I'm told, I don't know) but Windows work better for most other things and has more software available and much more support (or, once again, so I am told). But honestly why would I change to a Mac if most of my previous software won't work on it? What reason would I have to ignore everything I've ever bought for my PC?
Yes, Macs target commercials slinging mud at PCs. But has anyone stopped to consider why no one calls a Mac a PC? Is it not still a Personal Computer? Or are Macs so inherently different that they are not even computers? Obviously they have to be personal, you don't rent Macs. Tirade aside, Macs have to attack Windows as they are their primary competitor. If they didn't, how would they convince people to switch to a Mac?
