The author seems to have bought a Mac without doing any research on how to make the transition. Regrettable, but not exactly a failing of the Mac.

I think this is a really good article for people who don't want to switch from Windows to OS X and still want to be convinced they shouldn't switch.

My personal favorite - "For a second I thought, well, I could load Parallels, the Mac OS program that allows you to run Windows applications on your iMac. But that plan was squashed fast. Before I could complete Parallels' installation, it asked for a copy of the Windows CD. I shook my head in disbelief: where the hell am I going to get a copy of the Windows CD? And if I need Windows to perform basic functions, why don't I just get a PC with Windows already installed?"
