“Right about now you’re thinking about checking the source,
right? I already said it comes the IMTSUF – The I’m Making This
S**t Up Foundation. Haven’t you heard of them?“Well, apparently you have, because Microsoft and CNBC (-) are
having a battle over the so-called “hidden costs” of owning a Mac
or PC. To give you an example, Microsoft claims that an average
family will need, in addition to two other computers and many
accessories, a Mac Pro, a Mobile Me family pack, (in a few years)
an iLife upgrade, and so on , but if you are on the PC side you
don’t need any software, since you have older copies. CNBC, on the
other hand, apparently believes that Macs come with Photoshop and
PCs always require a Geek Squad visit. Sorry, iPhoto !=
Photoshop.”
