I have 1 day to prove to my boss that Mac is better than PC. Please post any links you can think of that prove once and for all that PC is better than MAC. If I can convince him, he may be willing to switch out all our work computers to PC.

Pleeeeeeasse, help me get those shit sucking Macs out of our office.

His arguments are going to be "well, I've heard that Mac's are better for graphics", and "Well, can't we get similar software for the mac?"

Any links, or aticles, or online discussions, anything that I can print and take into a meeting tomorrow will help.

Thanks, you fuckers.

Well, you could always challenge his intelligence with this statement:

MACs are for people that don't know how to program computers.

I do not think there are a lot of sites directly comparing PC to Mac, proving that PC is better. It's mostly Apple trying to show that Macs are better Photoshoppers...

BUT IT'S JUST A PLAIN FACT THAT MACS SUCK !!!

But why exactly don't you like Macs ? IMO MacOS 10 ain't that bad...

Actually, the more I think about it... if I had my company to get me a free PC, I'd get a brand new Dual G4 with the 24" TFT + MacOS 10, just cuz I am getting sick of PCs as well...

Depends what the computers are gonna be used for.But anyways - if you wanna save money, go for a regular PC.

Reasons why PC's are better than Mac's

PC's are faster. They have CISC processors. That means they have to give more
instructions than the Mac...but they still do the job faster. If PC's were RISC (Reduced
Instruction, like Mac's) that means they would be a lot more faster than compared to
how much faster they are now.

They are Multi-tasking. Which means they can handle more than one job at a time. In
other words you can print a document in one program and surf the web in another.
Macintosh computers cannot do that. MacOS 10 will be the first Macintosh OS to
support multi-tasking, but it will not be available until 99-2000.

Windows 95 lets you use two mouse buttons. That means less clutter on the screen
with all these extra buttons, because Windows 95/98 can use right-click pull down
menus. (Macintosh only has one mouse button).

There is much more software for the PC than the Mac, about 1200% more. Software
usually comes out for the Mac about 1/2 - 2 years after (if ever!) the same software has
come out for the PC. Some Macintosh users like to argue that they only need two or
three programs. If you use only two or three programs, how can you say the Mac is
better?

Software made for older Macintosh systems is not as compatible with newer
Macintosh systems. Software from an 8086 computer (one of the first PC's made) can
be run on a 400 MHZ Pentium 2 just as well, or even better.

The Task Bar is movable on PC's (The Mac Bar cannot be moved at all).

PC's cost less money. (PC's with Windows 95/98 cost generally $800 - $2000. A
Macintosh with the same features would cost $1500 - $3000. And in this case,
expensive is not always better.

Macintosh computers crash more than PC's. Admit it Mac users! (Macintosh
computers Crash about twice as much as Windows computers.)

The Mac OS is more restrictive in what types of programs you open files with. For
example, you must open a JPEG image with a viewer. You cannot open it with Simple
Text. Now the Windows 95/98 equivalent to Simple Text is Notepad, and yes you can
open a JPEG image, or any file you want, with Notepad

Faster program switching on PC's than Mac. (On Windows you can switch programs
in a single click with the Taskbar. With a Macintosh you have to hold down the mouse
button and then let go on the right programs with Finder.

Windows 95 takes less time to start up. (Whenever I startup a Mac it takes 60
seconds to 1 1/2 minutes. Windows takes about 45 seconds.)

The new Macintosh computers have a keyboard design that came from the PC.

Keyboards on the Mac are not as sturdy as PC keyboards.

Windows 95 PC's have about 90% of the market. Now try to compare that to the 2%
that Macintosh owns. That just proves how much better Windows is than Macintosh.
Hey, even Steve Jobs owns an IBM Think Pad.

Questions and Answers:

Why do other websites and magazines say Macintosh is better:

Because when the Macintosh first came out, it was considered easier to use than DOS
based PC's. Another big reason why is because most people in working in media jobs
e.g. TV, desktop publishing etc. that make that claim have bought Macintosh computers
when they first came out for the reason above. Also the software Macintosh computers
use, is not compatible with Windows computers, so they don't want to spend a lot of
time upgrading their computers. Plus in addition to that people in media are so used to
using Macintosh that they don't want to bother learning another OS.

Are most webpages made on a Macintosh?

No. That is basically a rumor that has been used to sell Macintosh computers.

Is the Windows OS copied from the Mac OS?

Not as much as you may think. The start menu might have been, but Macintosh stole
almost everything (including the mouse) from a OS that Xerox made called the Alto.

In fact, the Macintosh OS 8 has copied more things from Windows 95 than Windows 95
has ever copied from the Macintosh. For Example:

Customizable colors for window bars and surfaces.

Full Screen desktop pictures.

Integration with the desktop and the web.

Minimize feature in which windows on the screen become Tabs.

Capability of using a two button mouse to have a right mouse button click.

Is Windows really harder to use than the Mac?

No! They are about the same. No you don't have all these error messages popping up
on the screen (As said by some people at Apple and other Pro-Mac websites). And no
you don't have to type in DOS (Only if you want to).

How do I know that you are telling the truth?

Why do you think Windows/PC's are so popular? There was a time when Macintosh
computers were more popular but after a while people started choosing Windows. Just
ask any of the Millions and Millions of Windows 95/98 users what they like better. They
will say the same thing. Windows is simply better.

What about the Adobe Photoshop speed tests?

Adobe Photoshop is a program that was made for the Macintosh OS. So the tests can't
really compare the true speed of "Power PC" to the Pentium.

Well what about the Virtual PC?

You think the Macintosh is better because you can run PC programs? So, the vMac for
the PC can run Macintosh programs with System 7.5. Anyway the Virtual PC and vMac
are emulators and emulators are known to be slow.

Is the G3 faster than the Pentium 2?

I have not heard of any tests other than the Photoshop test that suggests the G3 is
faster. Comparing how fast they work with the operating systems they use, the Pentium
2 is quite a bit faster.

Is the MacOS setup easier?

Although the Macintosh MacOS setup is easier than the Windows 95 setup, on most
Windows 95 systems that you buy, you do not need to setup the operating system
because it is already done for you. Plus, the Windows 98 setup is a lot easier than
Windows 95.


Facts about Macintosh:

Old Design:

The MacOS has changed very little from its original design. This is bad, causing the
MacOS to be "left back" in technology. Compare the difference between the MacOS
6.x to 8.x, and the difference between Windows 3.x to (4.x Windows 95/98), and you will
find that Windows has changed a whole lot in appearance and construction, while the
MacOS still looks and acts the same as it did practically ten years ago. And yet still
most programs that were made for Windows 3.x can run on Windows 95/98, while most
of the MacOS programs cannot be run on newer versions of the operating system
without some sort of emulator. So it seems in fact, that the Apple Computer slogan
"Think Different" doesn't seem to be what Apple is doing.

Unstable?

Throughout computing history, the Macintosh operating system has had a reputation for
being unstable and prone to crashes. Now this can be very time consuming if you are
working on something and forget to save it, and then your computer crashes causing
you to loose all data that you entered in.

iMac, is it better?

You might have seen the new Apple computer commercials about the iMac. They show
how PC's are so dis-organized and how the iMac is simple and "spiffy looking". This
takes Apple back to a time we all remember, the Lisa years. The iMac's design
resembles something of an Atari ST, and a kids, toy computer. Also, talk about not
being expandable, everything has to be crammed into the space of a 15" monitor!
Would this make the iMac popular? Maybe, but its all based around one of Apple's
unique ad campaigns. But then again its just another example of how Apple "Thinks
Different", or should I say the same as they did over fifteen years ago. Maybe they got
amnesia and decided to make the "new" tiny computer design.

Er... I think the non-jokes are a little old. Just change the numbers, if your boss is not very good with computers then he won't know the difference.

Perfect. More like that. Or links to articles that prove all that info.
Thanks guys, oops, I mean thanks fuckers.
