It seems that all the people that say things like 'mac is hard to work with as far as i know' haven't actually used one. If you haven't used a mac how about piping down?
Yet all the people who use macs seemed to have moved over from Windows. So who's in the better position to compare? :-)
Mac & PCs do the exact same thing. The difference IMO is that the mac does everything the PC can do only better, faster and with much more style.
It's a common misconception that shareware or software is hard to come by for macs. The mac shareware scene is simply buzzin'. So many cool apps that you just don't see on Windows.
I dunno about anyone else but I can't remember when was the last time I walked into a store and bought software off the shelf? Thousands of mac apps on the net.
Another misconception is that macs are better for photoshop and graphics. This is just not true. How exactly is that true? PC caught up to macs for graphic artists about 5 years ago. All this 'only buy a mac if you're a photoshop user' is just total BS.
Video Editing is another matter, PC users don't get Final Cut Pro.
And what's all this about files not working with macs? everything is the same, if you have Word on the mac it will open word files made on the PC. That's the same with basically everything. I have my PCs and Macs networked sharing files with a single issue.
If you try to open a file made with a PC specific app that doesn't exist on the mac then you're retarded.
More and more people are moving to OS X, and it's not hard to see why.
