Parody ain't just a seegar
Mac Mini: The Emperor's New Computer
The Mini boots up into a stripped-down operating system which Apple calls OS X, similar to the stripped-down WindowsCE OS found on many handhelds. The mini OS is going to be a significant hurdle for many buyers who are used to Windows or have favorite Windows software packages they need to use. Think of it more as a first computer for your daughter or niece than as a machine to get any serious work done and you'll get the point of the Mini and its target market. It might also be the perfect computer for grandmothers or autistic children, for example.
I've seen this article quoted in a few places, and I'm not sure, but I think people are taking this seriously. It's obviously a joke site, folks. If the "autistic children" line above doesn't convince you, take a look at one of the "author's" other articles: Windows No - the Next Big Thing From Microsoft?
Consider your ass fact-checked.
