Apple When it comes to using computers, it used to be (and still rings true today) that most people find the Mac platform to be either loathsome or lovable with few spectators taking middle ground on the issue.

appleforever: Here's Cnet on MyDVD 4: "Unfortunately, the program's limited tools and expensive tech support hamper its potential"

rajan: "Can I have a link to that review?"

This is the review on MyDVD 4: http://www.cnet.com/software/0-3227896-1204-20484705.html?tag=prmo2

appleforever: Here's a recent article from JULIO OJEDA-ZAPATA of the Pioneer Press, comparing Sony's new consumer DVD program to iDVD:

Rajan: I have tried Sony's DVD software: it is laughable. Again, I never mentioned this piece of software.

I cited this article because it states that iDVD remains the gold standard for consumer DVD authoring software (i.e., is superior to the PC equivalents), and because in a prior thread you identified Sony as a company offering a set of bundled apps comparable to Apple's bundled set. Here's the link for this article:

appleforever: iTunes has been credited by many as the most intuitive.

Rajan: "Only by the Mac press, or from Mac users. I personally found iTunes 3's UI quite confusing.
Quite suprising compared to other iApps."

This is from Tom's Hardware (not mac press): "iTunes is a very intuitive and easy to use program for managing music on the Apple iPod. The user interface that iTunes offers is more polished and perhaps a bit more robust than Musicmatch is on the PC. We liked its ability to handle many features in what we consider to be a more logical nature than Musicmatch." http://www6.tomshardware.com/mobile/02q4/021003/ipod-07.html
