RE: " However, the type/quality of software available doesn't make one computer "better" ('first class') than another computer ('second class'). It mearly means that for a particular application (set of applications) one brand/type of computer may be better suited for a particular user." Folks would be better served by first determining the best software for their needs/wants (not an easy task, I know), then finding the platform that best runs that software (a much easier task, IMO). Kinda like food preparation equipment/tools; no sense buying a food processor when your taste would be better served via a high-end blender, or buying a light hand mixer for mixing heavy dough.
