You don't. All the major outlets have been doing in recent years is exalting
Macs over PCs. Macs are out selling PCs at this point in the market on a
quarterly basis. There has to be a reason for that. I'd take a Mac and
VoiceOver over Any Windows system with NVDA any day of the week and have done
so.
Again, though, we are in the realm of opinion and I don't think list
members need to read opinion pieces here.
