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, if I were you I would count on my reasoning and my knowledge not the press's. This is because I have repeatedly seen how much press can distort facts, can confuse you or not tell the whole story.
On the hype of the dot-com stuff, we were seeing all sorts of research companies predicting certain things, and these companies are supposedly professional research companies. None of those happened, and people lost lots of money in the stock market.
The truth is that, Cnet review or Tom's Hardware review says very little about the truth. You never know. They may have financial gains to write a smooth review. They may also write nice reviews about Apple products to fight with Microsoft, and I see such cases. Cnet is totally biased against Microsoft, and they are actively trying to persuade people not to use Microsoft products. As alternative they are very nice to Linux and Apple.
