Check over there on the right hand side for links to our latest election coverage. We're not going to make any endorsements, since SFist is not unanimous in our opinions, but let's just say if you don't like your Windows machine crashing all the time, with massive loss of files, programs running mysteriously in the background and easily exploited security vulnerabilities, have you thought about switching to Mac OS X? more ›
