I love Macs, but I use Windows, and you are RIGHT ON with this list! I just finished an exhaustive comparison of Macs v. Windows machines for three different purposes: home (with kids), home office (interfacing with Windows-oriented Fortune 500 co’s), and video editing. For the first two it was a no brainer (Windows: application options / cost). For the last there is SO much propoganda out there that the ONLY system to use is Final Cut Pro (which ONLY runs on a Mac.) Well, guess what, it’s like the days of WordPerfect v. MS Word. It’s what you like, and what you’re used to. The only REAL criticism Mac users have of an App like Adobe Premier (video editing) is that the interface is not intuitive. I don’t know, maybe it’s just a Mac thing. I find most Windows apps pretty intuitive, and have never had a problem going between the two worlds.

I guess it’s just how open you are to change, or difference. Now that’s a totally DIFFERENT rant.

Thanks again for this list!

@bentspoon Thanks, and you are right about the WP vs Word days, heh. Adobe Premier is a pretty powerful program, albeit not quite as pretty.

Resisance is futile, JOIN US!! Anyway what a waste of time and keystrokes, thanks jackass.

Nonsense.

iam an idiot and i have a mac i love porn

iam an idiot and i have a PC i also love porn

Love the list. I’m in IT at my company, and the few Macs that are used in our publishing department give us as much headaches as all our other PC systems.

I like Macs but use PC’s equally, both with Linux and Windows, but I agree with the IT guy above. I also work in IT and our macs have always given us just as many problems (if not more) than our PC’s.

I agree with everything on this list, all of the amc users out there need to take their head and shove it up there ass, and take a good wiff. Macs are so far the most unreliable machines ever, we have 20+ macs, and over 15+ cameras, every time we need to capture using FCP the firewire port burns out (what happened to mass capability Apple) we can only get about half of the cameras to work with a few of the computers, its gotten so bad weve given up on Mac support. In fact, the “Mac Genius” who is supposed to be able to fix all of your Mac related problems never show up 9 out of 10 times.

Wow…have you ever used a Mac? I have used Windows computers for over 20 years….finally (after years of trying to make my computer do Mac things) I made the switch. Most of the stuff, about viruses, stability, speed, ease, looks) are right.

I hate to say it, but Macs just work. I now have three, each is heavily used all day, 7 days a week….they never crash; we never waste our time with virus programs, defrag, cleanup; there is never a need to reboot; the OS is rock solid and the software in iLife and iWork are incredibly rich with features that are tied into the system….there really is no comparison.

Sorry, but try it before you knock it.

ps. I laugh at the Mac commercials, but I cried at the Vista security one…it was TRUE! I had just upgraded to Vista….to be so disappointed I uninstalled it….and then bought Macs.

That is a load of crap, my uncle brought his macbook to my house and I tried to connect him to my wireless network and it froze 3 times, nice and sturdy there. There are also no good games for macs. You can make the argument of, “But boot camp runs windows”. At that point your mac just turned into PC, and a very overpriced PC at that.

OSX is based off linux which is mainly a PC os, so why is a mac more stable than a PC? As for windows, I agree 98 sucked but with the rollout of XP I have never had a problem with it. You can do just as fancy things with Windows as you can OSX, but on no mac comes with ilife windows comes with nothing. I got news for you Microsoft could make picture and movie software, but if they bundled it adobe would sue microsoft claiming they’re monopolizing the market because they own the majority market share.

hey great list! i think its funny how butthurt mac users get… i personally dont like macs and im 17 yrs old… i think if you need attention and you wanna show off then MAC JUST WORKS!!!

I love everything on this list, your so right! I’m a student and live in a dorm environment and have the terror of Mac labs on my campus and theres nothing worse than going to class and having to deal with the Mac OS. Its awefull really, I hated dealing with it and finally got fed up mid-semester and started bringing my Dell Latitude to class with me, which sadly allows me to do more work than the rest of my classmates on the Macs. Even the professor sits in class and swears at the Mac he has to use, which is really just flat out pathetic. As a student, I equate to the artsy type Mac aspires to sell to, and I couldn’t hate them more. Thanks to buying two Dells, one desktop I use for my online business, and the Latitude I mentioned is mainly for class work and portability that my older desktop simply can’t do, the purchase price of both PCs combined, didn’t cost me half of what a single Mac desktop would have cost me, forbid buying a notebook. Secondly, not all software out there is Microsoft and while I’ve never had a problem with Windows XP Professional running on either computer, which I may add, are at least 5 + years old, but back to the point, I don’t need Microsoft software on either computer to provide all the services I use. Personally, I’m a huge fan of Mozilla software and hate IE. It sucks, there are alternatives to Microsoft that don’t require going out and buying a expensive, useless designer Mac that looks cute and pretty and gives people a excuse to snob my humble Latitude? To quote Mac in defense of my little laptop, “It just works!”

Thank you, thats my rant for the day…wonderful list, thanks for sharing on this topic.

Hey dude

I am an avid mac guy and this top ten is hilarious! I totally try and convince people to buy macs, and talk about how crappy Windows is. I’m totally dude!

I have used Macs at home for about 5 years. I’ve used Windows at every place I’ve every worked. I’ve had the least amount of problems with Windows XP. All the versions before that were awful. Crashing a few times a day. I just enjoy the layout of Mac OSX better then Windows XP. I’ve had much less problems with my macs then my windows. But XP has been pretty solid at work. But you just can’t beat the design and ease of use with a Mac.

But your top ten is funny!

Now go cry and wine about how Macs are getting popular. Haha

This is so typical of the PC culture. You guys are like some sort of weird leaderless cult. Even in the face of adversity, you just never give up.

1) My Mac NEVER crashes. Ever. Windows machines are crashing all the time and I hate to count how many times IT has to reinstall just to get it all working again. Unexpected system interruptions don’t last very long on a Mac, help to clear up ram and such, and the few times I’ve reinstalled OSX it’s been a good thing…almost like having a new computer.

2) Tabbed browsing. Ever hear of that? No need to open multiple browser windows. One browser, multiple tabs! Mac did that. Nobody else.

3) Cancel or Allow. The ads are right! Man, installing an ap on Vista is a huge pain. I get a pop up asking if I want to cancel or allow. How silly! At least on my Mac there’s a degree of security. It asks for authorization in the form of my user account name and password. None of this cancel or allow crap interfering with the installation process.

4) Speed. I’ve personally speed tested my Mac against XP. Opening Photoshop on my Mac takes about a 4 seconds. On XP…4.2 seconds!!! You can’t argue with the numbers. BTW: I got rid of the Photoshop PC crap and have gone for iPhoto instead. Superior in every way.

I could go on, but there’s just no point. PC guys just don’t get it. Mac’s are taking over. Accept it.

Wonderful piece of blogging, I truly enjoyed how you addressed the MAC-only IT jobs… I have yet to see them though mac freaks will hold out for them and seek them out as it they were gold.

I have news for you mac freaks, DOD, DOJ, DHS and INTERPOL all use Windows and Linux based units. The only reason any of them have apple products is to make certain you mac freaks don’t get too cute and try to do something stupid with your blind acceptance of the 1 OS/system fits all nonsense.

Please keep up the useless apple banter all you mac freaks, my day wouldn’t be complete without some Gen-X/Y retard spouting the same tired “apple/mac facts” to try and convert people out of a well thought out and well supported purchase. I love seeing you people all butt-hurt because most people have other opinions and they happen to not be apple-friendly.

This is directed towards Ralph… I’m Sorry but i think you’re a moron.

Tabbed browsing is in IE7 and has been on Firefox for years. WAKE UP buddy.

Cancel or Allow, OR Authorization by Username and Password are essentially the same thing.
YOU’RE STILL GOING THROUGH A PROCESS THAT REQUIRES USER AUTHORIZATION!!!!
and on both platforms, you can disable those security features.

iPhoto is in no way shape or form more superior then Photoshop. iPhoto maybe good for removing redeye for the average user. But Photoshop, i mean come on.
On top of that i find Adobe products run more stable on PC’s. Yes.. you read that right, Adobe products on my mac, and others at my workplace crash quite often. I have at least 2 application crashes per day. Especially Adobe Acrobat CS2 and Indesign CS2, Sometimes even illustrator. Photoshop is probably the most stable on mac. I have used adobe products on my PC during college for graphic design and I haven’t had near as many problems as I do at my workplace. Which when i started my G5 was brand new out of the box.
*Both were CS2 versions.

I also have to mention viruses… There are viruses for mac, they’re just unncommon because macs are uncommon when compared to the vast amounts of working PC’s out there. A good anti-virus like NOD32 (only $40/year) will keep you unbelievably safe. Security professionals have tested this product and found it out performs even Norton. I know there will come a day were macs will be caught totally off guard, because most mac owners do not bother with such applications. I have read an article were a security professional has stated that OSX has no fewer security holes then XP. They’re actually about the same.

What is happening to our society? Where people actually believe the dribble thats sprewing from big corporate ads? Oh microsoft hardly advertises at all so you can’t counter that by saying I’m wrapped around Microshaft’s little finger.

If you don’t believe me, do some frigging research.

Mac Graphics and bright Brain really Rocks! Mac is the original, no matter what! Vista is a Cheater!

Alright Ralph

1) My Mac NEVER crashes. Ever. Windows machines are crashing all the time and I hate to count how many times IT has to reinstall just to get it all working again. Unexpected system interruptions don’t last very long on a Mac, help to clear up ram and such, and the few times I’ve reinstalled OSX it’s been a good thing…almost like having a new computer.

System crashes happen on every system, both PC and Mac, if you don’t take care of your system, it won’t take care of you. I’ve seen brutal crashes on Mac while using the Adobe suites, on many of the computers in my school’s mac lab. If your Mac NEVER crashes and is so rock-steady, why have you reinstalled OSX multiple times?

4) Speed. I’ve personally speed tested my Mac against XP. Opening Photoshop on my Mac takes about a 4 seconds. On XP…4.2 seconds!!! You can’t argue with the numbers. BTW: I got rid of the Photoshop PC crap and have gone for iPhoto instead. Superior in every way.

The above comment is so stupid that I doubt its necessary to pick apart but just in case anyone is at all fooled by this, I’ll do so. “I’ve personally speed tested my Mac against XP.” you’ve personally speed tested a computer against an operating system? What the hell do es that even mean?
Did you even look at the specs of the two computers running the two OSes? You can’t just say “this mac opened a program in 4 seconds and this PC opened it in 5″ and have that be a valid argument for the speed of an OS.

“I got rid of the Photoshop PC crap and have gone for iPhoto instead. Superior in every way.”
LOL these two programs not even in the same category. superior in allowing a retard to remove redeye, as myles said, probably.

You are the epitome of a FANBOI congratulations you have fulfilled a stereotype. Don’t worry you won’t be very lonely.

I could go on, but there’s just no point. PC guys just don’t get it. Mac’s are taking over. Accept it.

I accept that you have no idea what you are talking about, advocating a system that you don’t understand.

Just chiming in.

I just bought a mac a few days ago having been a pc user for most of my life. Don’t worry, I haven’t bought a black turtle neck and started worshiping Jobs. I like pc’s, they’re fine, but I have had my problems w/them in the past. It dawned on me that perhaps the reason crashes seems so ubiquitous for PCs is that PCs themselves are ubiquitous.

Anyhow, the mac I bought I think is going to be a solid machine for me. I like it and hope to have it for years w/o having to change too much. As mac’s popularity increases and interoperability follows (I hope), shouldn’t this be a good thing? More competition and more choice. Can’t we all just get along.

Preach on brother.

You have 2 platforms Mac and PC obviously.
What most people dont understand is that Mac & Linux are virtually cousins since they are Unix based. Windows is Dos based which is a copy of Unix to begin with.
You Macboys say that Mac just works, well so does Linux and Windoze. The thing that sucks the most, what most people dont even realize, is that you spend so much money on your beloved Mac or Windoze system than you realize.
Linux is virtually free, along with thousands of free programs to choose from when choosing from the top distributions.
The Linux developers out number the Mac & Windoze developers combined. This is due to the large open source community that volunteer their time to create fixes and help other users, versus depending on some customer service dept. handling your problem while on hold etc..
Linux has come a long way in such a short period of time, and guess what, more people are getting tired of high cost products and software, as well as proprietary crap that Mac and Windoze create. They are choosing a Linux distribution as their OS of choice.
Why?
Well, a majority of Mac users dont know anything about their computer. Basically Mac Dumbs the computer user down. Loads of Mac users dont even know they have a terminal program in OSX, or even know what its for. They just like to click on pretty pics an the lovely GUI.
If you need help from a Mac User for a specific problem you most likely will get an answer from them to take it to the Mac Store to get it fixed.
Windows & Linux Users are more in the know than Mac Users for creating fixes for specific Network, and configuration matters as well as others. I can hear the Mac User now, “We Mac Users dont have problems with our software and etc…”
Guess what you are wrong. There are loads of problems, do a google search for mac Problems or errors.
A very successful Linux based Distribution which is 100% free to the user is Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu. These are all of the same flavor of Linux, only with a different desktop manager, and GUI, hence the change of the first letter (I use Debian/Sidux). You can order CDs directly from the Ubuntu website and have them shipped to you anywhere in the world for free including the postage cost (also available for Mac)! Easy to install in 6 steps and boom you have a beautiful full functioning OS. There may be a few pitfalls due to some hardware configurations, but this is where you learn and help others. Some people in the community are geeks, but no Snobs (like Mac), and they extend their best efforts to help others who have problems (which beats crappy customer service 1-800-Mac-Win-Sux).
In Conclusion,
Mac Hardware is expensive, software is limited and expensive, and customer support is terrible.
Windoze OS is expensive, and only supported through registered hardware, Loads of Viruses, have to purchase more software to enhance the system to keep it virus free, customer support is terrible.
Linux is FREE to download, or inexpensive to order online ($2 - $5), Thousands of free software to download (most a minimal download), Configuration can be a little pain, but this is where you learn how your system works. The largest community is there to assist you for support for the distribution you use, and many fixes have already been resolved.
The answer is a no brainer which platform to use.

I have a 15″ mac book pro, a quad processor vista machine, and a dell laptop running ubuntu 8.04 linux. They all suck. I’m installing OS/2 tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes.

I had no idea Mac users were snobs until one day while i was at a printing shop, a Mac user screamed at me for touching his ‘pristine’ screen. And I was his customer. Dude was nuts about how clean his monitor should be but his shop was a mess. Have a friend who’s pretty much a fanatic snob about his mac too. Always telling people that the Mac is way superior than a PC. God…I don’t hate mac but these users are complete utter snobs. What a turn off.

I have to laugh. I just read` somebody saying that they timed Photoshop on a mac at 4 secs and on a PC at 4.2 secs. WOW!!! Think of all you can do with that .2 secs you saved!! I would rather pay less, get more and be able to upgrade if I want. I refuse to own anything with an i in front of the name. There are better, cheaper alternatives if you have a mind of your own and do a little searching

I have to agree with all here, each has their own points, but here is my 2 cents…

NOT ALL SYSTEMS ARE PERFECT….ok…i said it…

I have used all the OSes thought out my life. Windows, Mac, and Linux and still do. I prefer Mac and here is why…

1. I am not living off of Bill. No, I do not have a job in IT (thankfully). To me, its like working on your own car. You have a dodge SRT-4. base model low cost, but if you want more horsepower you will pay. You add and add but it was not turned right and BANG!!! blown motor, game over… You have you PC you add, hack and tune, but if not right…fired motherboard costing you more time and money so you can say you have 100 FPS…But the point is the amount of money and trouble to get it to work and the upkeep, not worth it in my book…

Macs are tuned for the components they come with, so no need to tweak or overclocking (but wait you can!!! go here http://www.xlr8yourmac.com)…so why build the dodge neon when you can get a dodge viper? So yes I pay more, but I have a workhorse that will last (not one complaint here about they still work after years of use and resale value {ex. Neon (200 hp) vs. Viper (600 hp)}) what would you buy new or used?

2. I now have a machine that will run all of my favorite OSes! So now I can code,play,hack my hearts content on ANY OS I WANT on ONE MACHINE! Now, x86 hackintosh will allow you to do that now, but you still need to learn UNIX.

3. Lower long-term cost. So, why is the Europe and the US and state government(s) going to UNIX. Let see…You do not need to pay for it(Linux), you are not outsourcing to raise cost>by the way, that is you IT GUYS working on windows

has. update to vista it will cost you, update office, it will cost you…

Mac uses will pay 130 buck for a new operation system and do not have to buy it-thats right..those machines that these IT guys talk on here might still running on OS X 10 or 10.1 or 10.2, hell OS 9…OK, lets talk about cost over savings here… they bought them machines for a premium back then and they still work. I am sure they are still doing the job. so have a machine like that in an office for 5-8 years and still producing, sounds like they have paid for themselves a few times over because you do not have to buy new hardware for the computer, software, and remember Mac was the first to run dual processors 8 years ago.
Buy a mac that is 5 years old and update to leopard without a hitch…try that Win boxes…

4. Intel, Intel, Intel…I would like to thank IBM for the standards they created. IDE, DRAM, and PCI and now Intel. Mac has benefited for these standards, so you can get a hard drive off the self and drop them in. Old schoolers, listen up, they do not use SCSI anymore…sounds a lot like HD DVD or Blu-Ray… this fight has been over for years now.

5. It is true, Macs just do work. The never crash! I have to restart mine because I want to not because I have to. I HAVE NOT UPKEEP!!! no defrag, no virus scan or updating, no validating every update, no Internet explorer!!

OK they do not have a lot of games. so don’t buy one, egg the nearest Apple store, gag at the sight of Apple, scream at us the next time we use my iphones (not bad for the first UNIX handheld), have nightmares about the grey apple popping on your LCD’s, run like hell.

Bill Gates is a very smart man, You follow him like a puppy as well…

This is why this country is so great, freedom of speech and freedom of choice…

I have learned many things in my life, that Mac users would never appreciate others work, that Mac users are hypnotized (may be on drugs 24×7), and Mac users would never compromise and accept their defeat. The reason I don’t like (not hate) Macs is because they work as it wants to and not as I want it to work. I feel it is not customizable. Other reason I don’t like Macs is because after using Mac for Just over 3 months my brain wend dead, my thinking power was lost and when I switched back to Win/Lin I felt as if I was back home. The only thing I like about Apple is the design and hardware which I would never buy.

Ease of use with a mac, you must be kidding. I like free stuff like most people, so I bittorrent a lot of stuff. Finding free software online for a mac is hell, cause nobody wants to make anything for it. Why is that??? and for a simple user that doesn’t know much about computers, installing BootCamp so that you can use Windows on your Mac is not easy to do. There’s a 14 page handbook you need to download just to be sure your doing it right. Mac sucks cause its not compatible with shit thats out there that is free or cheap to get. Its a waste of time, plus its a bitch to upgrade unless you shell out more money for the next new mac model.

Well, this is the most stupid and pointless article that I have ever read about this topic…

I don’t consider myself a “macboy”… but I’m a mac user…

What stupid reasons are those that you expose here: the MAC vs PC adds, the Steve Jobs si god thing, apple stores, apple and your mother (WTF?!?!)… anyway! all your reasons are only crap! you don’t talk about the performance of the system, or the requirements and caracteristics… you’re only talking about cliches… pre conceived ideas and bullshit!

I’m user of both plataforms, and I only say that Windows is a lot more problematic than MAC OS X, maybe you’re the only human that doesn’t have virus in your PC, but more than 140.000 virus per year of Win Vs the 4 Virus in 6 years for mac speach for themselves… Maybe you have all the knowledge that allow you to protect your machine, but is insane to pretend that you must go and do degree in Informatic Engineer in order to prevent your PC to crash… lets face it! not everybody has that kind of knowledge , and they doesn’t have to if you do a quality product!!!! The IT people must be very pleased with microsoft, thanks to them they have A LOT of work to do!!

Other true thing is that the PC needs to be updated more often that the macs, try to run a Vista without put more RAM or improve the processor, but I know people that have the PowerPC Macs and run leopard without problem… and in the programs department, maybe you don’t have thousands of thousand of applications, but I never have a problem to find an application for any need that I have, and the best part is that it works! not like in the win applications deparment, you have thousands of them, but in the end a lot of them are just crap! and even if you don’t find an especific application for MAC OS, you can run windows easy on the mac, Bootcamp is really easy to use, and you allways have virtual machines like Parallels or VMware, that even allow to run win and Mac OS at the same time… so, what’s the problem? all the win universe is right there for you… all people talk about “I can customise my PC”, well, If you want a PC that looks like a Nascar car, with every single component made in a different place of the world, from indochina to la paz, and go crazy with drivers, and in six months you put more power and more cards and in the end you have to put your PC in a freeze with a lot of ventilators… then go ahead! be happy and go crazy!!!

The thing is that a PC works, but has a lot more problems than the Macs… if you want all that crap on your life, that’s your call… and be happy with the Blue Screen of Death and formatting and reinstalling every two or three months… but don’t tell me that MAC’s are bad because your mom said that you must eat an apple every morning or because you think that the Mac adds are stupid… I know that Macs aren’t the best thing in the world! every systems has pros and cons, and I accept valid arguments! but all that you have is pure crap…

Well i am confident that a hacker or a virus programmer would never waste his time in programming a virus for mac as that would affect only 10-20 % (could be far less than that) of mac computers. Thinking logically, i would do the same. And also, windows crashes mostly because of hardware drivers/3rd party software (As more hardware is available and more users use windows).

When it comes to mac usage I use Mac and I find Linux/Windows more interesting that a “MAC”

And finally when it comes to upgrades/updates
Upgrades (Hardware) You have to chuck a Mac in a bin or may be shit hole
OS Upgrade Microsoft offers a completely new OS
Mac polishes/adds 3-4 new features(really useful) and around 500-100000 so called features which include new shortcut key and may be a new icon or a new word in dictionary (to which mac users go crazy)

I run a small graphic design company mainly using pc’s constructed, maintained etc by me. I also have an imac. In my point of few there are two kind of mac users and a whole lot of windows users(PC’s are cheap and almost every home has one) who got stuck using windows so much they cant adept to other interfaces/OS’s. Now back to the two mac users if you bought it for the elegance or whatever spend your money elsewere please dont tell stuff you dont know jack about(same goes for PC users who have no serious experience with a mac)………..

Dell has commercials, HP has commercials the rest of the pc businesses has them aswell since they run for lets say 90% on windows they dont need to point out the flaws in the OSX of mac os. But apple likes to come with an one package deal and has loads of PC companys to compete with. So if apple makes a commercial about pc versus mac you could

A: laugh about it knowing better that its alway the users computer experience

or

B: be ignorand and start foaming at the mouth and blame mac for being shiny

Dont forget you can screw a mac up just as easy as a PC anytime! anyday!

BTW my Ipod rules with my car stereo

Am I really the only person out there who doesn’t think that Macs are all that attractive? Am I the only one who’s tired of being told that because it’s, yes, sleeker than most PCs, it’s automatically beautiful? But then so much of Mac’s ad campaigns seem to be based around telling me that this is what I want, because it’s better and cooler, and how silly of me to have ever thought differently.

just ask to apple what kind of the sytem they used when they make apple products

i m damm sure all machines are windows based

there is no other way

this is all market strategy for making customer fool……..

and we are just following them.

I’ve been a PC user forever, since 1986 when I became the resident ‘expert’ on our three PCs….in an accounting firm. I became the ‘expert’, because it was so damn easy to figure out what was going on! And to become the ‘expert’, I NEEDED to be able to figure it out….directories, networks….even a newb like me could figure it out.

I’ve long since NOT been an expert….it wasn’t my main thing and other people knew more. But I still know what’s going on with my PC and how it fits in the network. My experience is that Mac people don’t. They say “every Mac is a file server’. Uh. No it’s not. Not like a PC network file server.

I recently became employed in academia, in a group of people who SWEAR on their Macs. Their idea of archiving is to….save everything on a DVD. Requiring every single lab tech, grad student, postdoc and yes…faculty, to save everything to a DVD.

Well, the Mac fileserver crashed….and we were all out a whole WEEK…because they weren’t using the fileserver as a fileserver should be used. There were no Backups, and no one could access the data because the Mac fileserver was so proprietary. Geez. It seemed pretty primitive to me. We’ve had that crappy Mac fileserver for three years (THREE YEARS), and they couldn’t figure out how to do a backup.

As a PC user, I can accept that Macs are better at some things, and in my current environment, they certainly have advantages.

But Mac users cannot seem to accept that their systems have limitations. I can. It seems to me a bit nearsighted and narrow to be so dedicated to one platform and be totally ignorant to the advantages of another.

In academia…these people are supposed to be brilliant. Um, they seem to be a bit closeminded in this area. Great minds at work….

I’m a pc user, and i have nothing against Mac’s. I mean they look nice, but that’s about it. the thing that annoys me is the fact that Mac is so expensive in comparison to any other PC, I did a comparison (I’m building a computer right now) I selected the component that I wanted on a local PC stores website, I then went on to Apple’s site and chose very similar parts (not exactly the same but close) the PC I built cost me $3300 AUS, on apple that very similar machine cost $7,700 AUS, almost double. Fanboi’s piss me off too, they just are ignorant people who are too stupid and lazy to not believe every thing they read and see, or to even consider any other option apart from a product from Apple. Also software downloadable from Apple are annoying, why cant I JUST download Quicktime, no Apple, being the nuisance that it is forces me to download iTunes as well (if your smart you could just download VLC player, smaller and less annoying). I want to write more but there isn’t enough time to talk about all the annoying things about Mac’s and Apple. A final note: though I’m an avid Windows user, I like Linux because it is not annoying, its not an ordeal to the same thing that I do on my Windows XP computer on a Linux computer. Also Linux is free and does not charge like a wounded bull.

Here is the story:

Windows users are happy and comfortable with Windows.

OS X users really love their operating system.

OS X user take every chance to show off their features, in a way how a big dog loves to lick his thing in front of everybody else.

Windows users love to defend it like a guy who is defending his 4” thing, which he makes into 8” by adding 3rd party apps.

So please move on.

I loved your list, it reminded me of my mac-obsessed boss. Im a web developer at a newspaper and she is the “New Media Director”. One would think that would mean she is making big decisions, has a lot of design and programming experience, you would be incorrect. Shes basically my secretary. She sits and pounds the keys on her Mac, checks her email, asks me how things work, or what I am going to work on next (so she can email our superiors). She is completely unaware of her position, she thinks shes getting “A TON” of work done pounding the keys in her chat program and keeping Thunderbird maximized on her screen. She lives in her own little self-centered Macintosh world.

Are all mac users like this?

Mac users also set them self apart by owning a Toyota Prius, StarBUCKs coffee card and an iPhone. They need to fit the ‘intellectual’ mold. (ww.obamawindbag.com)

Mac’s are awesome for recording and mixing music in my experience. But My nice happy PC is better in every other way for me. I have worked on both and the mac always gives me that strange “toy” feeling. You know what I mean? It’s like those fake computers you buy for your toddler. They come with a big clunky one-button mouse and bright colors. yeah… Even the Mac commercials are childish. It really says a lot that they would choose that same weenie actor to represent their “cool guy.” Isn’t that the guy from Jeepers creepers? What a chode. Yes I said “chode.” It still has it’s proper uses.

i recently found my two first computers an old apple 2 and an old dinosaur with windows 3.1 on it forgot i even had them i remember they worked when they were storedso i brought them down from the attic and and hooked them up to my great dissapointment the apple two didnt work but time had taken its toll on the pc the monitor was dim so i turned off my light and began looking through the files that was a week ago.
