I still use Windows 7 on my PC and on our Accounting mac machine (running Parallels). Windows 7 is excellent, I agree. I still think OS/X is better. I am speaking from experience as I use both.

Fair enough. Operating system is a matter of prefference. I have not tried OSX so I can't compare. In your previous post you just gave the impression that Windows is no longer a good OS, and by that I disagree. Not saying there are no better alternatives, but it gets the job done.
Last time I experienced a BSOD was using Windows 2000 at school, and maybe once or twice with Windows XP. No problems with either Vista or Windows 7 so far.

"Mac for the money is simply better." were your words.
Sure it may be fast. If I was to use my computer for 3D/CAD or any heavy hardware dependent work, I would choose to build my own PC though with newer and better (faster) cpu, memory and graphics for the same price.
You should be able to compare render times between the two systems.
For most daily work you would not notice any difference though.

No. No problems for me. MEEEEEE. I am speaking for myself, MPGdevil. Do you own a Mac? Are you speaking from experience? I have both PC's and Macs.

Glad to hear you have no issues with your Mac. It just sounded like you were generalising.
There are more PC users with problems compared to Mac because the number of users are about 9:1. Having PC problems isn't necessarily a reason to chose Mac though.
No I do not own a Mac and have not tried OSX. I might like it but I doubt I will ever end up with one. Partly because of their prices (I think they screw over their customers), and partly because I have always loved to build my own systems. Every summer I upgrade my PC with new hardware, so I need the flexibility.

Maybe. Apple have to lower their prices to begin with though.
I have owned both the first iPad and iPhone3 GSM. I was impressed with both since it was my first experience with a tablet and smart phone. Last year I then wanted to try an Android device and bought the Samsung Galaxy S2, and suddenly the iOS looked static and boring to me. A lot of more options to personalize the phone and the whole UI experience was as fluid as my iPhone.
At the end of the year I will most likely buy a Windows Phone 8 and a Windows Surface Pro tablet. A lot of people think the interface is ugly, mock Microsoft and hope they fail.
I like trying out new things and just the opposite I hope they get success. The more competition the better for all us consumers, whatever it is iOS, Android or Windows.
