In the meantime he's trying to sell a computer that can still not run the majority of software out there without any peripherals (which without doubt will need to be extra expensive Mac specific variants) with lower performance than the competition in the price range for a price that's higher than that same competition (for with the competition you do get all those peripherals like a screen, keyboard, etc.).
And once again the trolls come out with the same old misinformation...
Since Macs use industry standards like USB and Firewire, most devices (printers, scanners, cameras, mp3 players, hard drives, etc) work automatically, sometimes even if they have no Mac drivers. These aren't pieces of hardware that are specifically made for Macs, these are the same peripherals you buy at CompUSA and Circuit City for the same price, and the same performace.
It's true that there is less software written for the Mac compared to the PC, but almost ever major application (Microsoft Office, Adobe CS, Macromedia Studio, etc.) has a Mac version that works as well better than its Windows counterpart.
The author isn't arguing that EVERY PC is riddled with spyware, just every one that he sees being used by normal people like his neighbors, which is specifically who the Mac Mini is being targeted to.
So your argument is just as biased as the "Macaddicts" you talk about.
I own both Macs and PCs, I share all of my peripherals between them, and I don't have spyware on either (although almost everyone I know with a PC does).
