Tell me this windows users… Hands up all those who have picked up a virus? I have never bothered with any kind of security on my mac, no firewall, no mcaffee or norton or anything. I have visited many many dubious websites, and never picked up a thing. My stepson was given a PC 6 months ago. For four of those months it has been used as a paperweight, as he has picked up 3 seperate viruses. he uses XP, and I use panther. I am fed up fixing his PC, so am buying him a mini for crimbo. Windows sucks. Mac rocks yer socks off. Go on – make your life a bit easier. Get a mac.

First of all, this war began in the 80s & early 90s when the first user interface came out. Apple Computers Inc. came out with the first user interface, the first Operating System, (OS). But for Apple, people would still be be using MS-DOS!!!!! That’s right: Microsoft stole that entire idea. And here again today, Vista is a copycat of OS X!!!!! The sidebar on Vista was taken from Apple’s Dashboard concept. The icons that preview the contents of files are taken from Apple’s Quick Look, and the all new Finder. Some may argue that Vista came out first, so Apple’s Leopard copies Vista. NOT TRUE!!!! Apple had demos and previews out before Vista. Apple had information out first. Apple has been in development of Leopard WAY before Microsoft with Vista.

So, question: If PCs are sooo great, and they meet ALL of EVERYBODY’S needs, why do they need to create a copycat of another platform? And since they chose Apple’s OS X to copy, that must mean that people are demanding the features that Macs have. And If PCs are sooo great, and they meet ALL of EVERYBODY’S needs, why is software being created so that you can run Mac OS on a PC? hmmmmm….

Final thought for you PC users: SERIOUSLY NOW…..what can your PC do that my Mac can’t?

That’s rubbish, Kuro Rai, on 3/4 points.
#1 – Macs can’t handle games, and even most Mac users admit that. Yes, I know World of Warcraft runs on Macs. Oh, wait, I forgot about that cheap freeware Minesweeper port. And there’s always Solitaire … maybe even Monopoly!
#2 – Those Windows lovers wouldn’t love Windows if it seemed complicated and daunting to them. Only to new Windows users would Windows seem complicated, and it is similar for new Mac users, although admittedly less so.
#3 – Isn’t the whole point of a simple interface to negate the need to have a “had time” getting used to it?
But you do have one good point, Macs are generally easier for regular daily tasks.

Touche.

times are changing, and MAcs aren’t great just for music and video, they now handle games, daily task, making them simpler, and easier for anyone, except for a windows lowever whose mind is set in a way that thinks “all computers are complicated”…they’ll have a had time relaxing to a simple interface

Kuro Rai…. L-M-F-A-O… is all I have to say. To all those windows lovers, OS X is a much more stable system, cleaner GUI and is built for STUDIO WORK. Macintosh computers are the choice for video, audio and photographical editors such as myself. Microsoft has a leg up on everyone because of their compatible-with-everything factor. This is odd because you’re comparing two different classes of operating systems… it should be XP vs. Vista and OS X Tiger vs. OS X Panther…. Those who say linux is the best are narrow-minded idiots as well; considering that not everyone knows how to use linux–linux user speaking–and because its compatibility with consumer grade hardware/software is very small… (but growing). Linux = severs, Windows = end users and OS X = studio. Times are in fact changing though and OS X is coming up fast.

FOR THE MORONS OUT THERE WHO DON’T KNOW HOW TO CLOSE A WINDOW ON OS X

If you just move ur damn mouse to the bottons u get symbols u kow!!! and 1 of em’s a BIG X

and if u can’t figue that out, u can use Command-Q

and u still have the top bar u can use

on top of that RED always means STOP/CLOSE IN EVERY COUNTRY

SO IF UR SO STUPID THAT YOU CAN’T DO THAT, THEN U SHOULDN’T BE USING A COMPUTER!!!

Hi,
I currently run 3 OS’s on my PC. (It meets requirements for both OSX/Vista)

1 partition contains OSX.
1 partition contains Vista.
1 partition contains Ubuntu with XGL.

Guess which OS I go back to the most?

I’ll give you a hint, it’s not related to animals.

Why? Because Vista proves to be most useful and productive for me.

It is a FACT that Windows runs faster than OSX. And when stacked together, both Linux’s and OSX’s program library is crushed by Windows’.

Believe me, I’m constantly switching between each OS, but if I actually want to get something done, I’ll make my way back to Windows. Besides, with Vista’s Aero, I find it’s a more productive enviroment than OSX.

This is MY OPINION, before you Mac fanboys decide to flame me. It’s not my fault that Apple sold-out and allowed PC users to fully take advantage of OSX on their X86.

Am I brainwashed because I’m a Windows user? No (lol, wtf.), but it’s a shame that people actually think Apple is ‘good’ or something. Like they’re not a heartless cold-blooded company like Microsoft. The truth is, they’re both evil. It just seems as if Apple is the lesser of the two evils. I’ll except that fact, but to my personal tastes, Windows is superior. End of.

I’ve always used PC’s until last year when I finally saved up enough and bought a Mac – which is what I’ve always wanted to do since the origional i-Mac (more for the ethos of the company than the asthetics of the mac). There’s something about Apple that say they listen to the customer and produce easy useable products. Microsoft come across as a company who aren’t prepared to listen to the customer as they’re too busy trying to lock down their products to produce this Microsoft only utopia they seem so desperate to have.
