As to whether it's a satirical review or not, I think this quote (which is clearly sarcastic) gives a gentle clue:

"For example, there is no Outlook Express for email, but Apple includes a program called Mail, which is like a stripped-down email client that can’t execute scripts or open attachments without user intervention. "

When you combine that with a few other clues scattered throughout the piece (including "a good deal of my time is spent running applications like Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update and Ad-Aware--none of which are available for the Mac platform" and all of which are clearly negatives), it's clear that the article is a fairly cleverly disguised pisstake.

In fact, it's a "Dorothy Dix" article--one deliberately formulated to give the nay-sayers (you, in this case) plenty of ammunition. :)
