Macs are and always will be much better then pc’s, let me explain. After owning an older mac for about 2 and a half years i have yet to get it fixed, heck i havent even had a problem. Now compare that to a pc which i had crash 2 weeks after i bought it. Macs weren’t engeneered with imminent failure in there software and hardware so they could milk us for our money long after we bought them. Get an apple and u will never need to get it repaired, ever.

Haha. I’m a PC / Mac user.

My 5 year-old iBook G4 performs better than any computer I’ve even used (better than both the 2008 Dell Insipron [Vista] and 2005 eMachines [XP]).
What I find the most humerous is how Apple programs, such as iTunes or Safari, run better on Windows that Microsoft programs, such as Windows Media Player or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Or the fact that the startup time for Macs is fractional compared to that of both Vista and more so XP.

Wow…there were so many flaws in that guy’s original argument, however, they’ve all been pointed out now. So i’m just going to say that i’ve had a Mac Mini for 3 years now, never had it upgraded and it hasn’t slowed down since I bought it. Whereas a year into ownership of a PC and things such as turning it on/off take a lot longer than they used to.

Installing any piece of hardware is usually instantaneous, with usually nothing other to do than plug in your product, e.g. monitor, printer, external hard drive or DVD drive. With PC’s even if you want to use a memory disk you have to install the bloody drivers for it! c’mon!

‘they have no customizaqble interface(Wait, my bad, I can have grey or blue)’

- Is this really an issue at all, I mean seriously, anybody who would buy PC only because on a mac they couldn’t change the colour of the little buttons on the top of application windows should get…a…life!

Macs all the way.

Having just bought a Mac and thinking it would be superior to my old reliable for me but seemingly bad mouthed by everyone else Dell pc with a Windows ME operating system, I’m not thrilled. Online surfing that was so mindlessly effortless (granted–at times–rudely interrupted) on my Dell is now real work with a Mac that really doesn’t seem comfortable going anywhere but to Apple maintained pages. The Apple version of Microsoft Office is not without its annoying hassles–certainly no one should think that the programs will work on a Mac as they did on a pc. I heard Macs were great with graphics but gee… they looked a whole lot better on my pc. I realize this is new to me and I am looking for some of the comforts my pc was offering but I would be willing to say that if everyone had time to experience both systems, virus fodder or not, the pc would win hands down. I know Apple people would argue but I think its a bit like saying that living in a box is just fine because you have nothing to compare it to. I hope my mind is pleasantly changed and I don’t regret investing in a Mac but right at this moment, I feel a little used and abused by misleading information coming from Apple devotees. It’s my own fault. I should have recalled–anything that sounds too good to be true usually is.

James Cornelius are you Working at Microsoft??? Because you have no idea what you are talking about! I have both a pc and a mac. Been using them since 1999. During my experience I find that Mac OS X is the best operating system on the planet!!! The only drawback for Apple now is the gaming community, but that will improve over time. Now that Vista came out, I was very much disappointed to the quality of their product. They had a chance to beat Apple at their game and failed terribly…

Oh wait did I mention another huge failure from microsoft, Internet Explorer 7. I actually liked the last internet explorer but this one keeps crashing on me all the time. Its really annoying! Apple’s Safari isn’t perfect either I would have to say but at least it doesn’t crash on me all the time! I wish someone can create a better browser because all browsers on the market are pathetic. I’m still on Windows XP and do not plan on upgrading to Vista EVER unless they give it to me for free. I will however be getting a brand new Apple desktop and an Apple laptop.

PC is dead for me now especially with all the viruses. What is all these errors we have to send to Microsoft? Do they listen to the user? No they are a monopoly and have ignored us the customers. This is clearly evident with their latest release of Vista. Apple has finally leveled the game, and if I ever need to use Windows XP or Vista it will be available on my new Apple computers.

1. Mac’s are beautifully designed.

2. OS X is so much better than any windows version in so many ways I wont bother to mention them.

3. If you can’t use a Mac, you are a retard.

4. If I’m smug, then you’re a bitch.

Macs are by far the most overhyped pieces of garbage currently in the computing world, kinda like their counterparts; the iPhone and the iPod. I have been using Macs to work on for the last 5 or 6 years, and been using PC’s at home for the last 8. PC’s have their problems, but we constantly have problems with the Macs reconnecting on the network, they have no customizaqble interface(Wait, my bad, I can have grey or blue), it’s next to impossible to figure out WHAT is causing it to slow down, I get all kinds of cryptic error messages, despite what the guy on the commercial says. You are limited as to any upgrade options, since these cases have a specific capacity, and the boards have limited connectivity.
People who like Macs are the kind who weant everything done for them, they don’t want any control over their system, and they want to be told how to think.

Pathetic.
