    You don't need every piece of software, that's the whole fucking point, most of the software you buy to make shit happen on XP is already built into OS X.

    Name a program or two that I would need to do something, that is available for a PC but not for a Mac.
    Pretty much every batch program I use for video is not available for mac. Its rare for any decent game released to be released for mac.

    It comes down to this. I can build a machine for half what a mac costs and it will be faster than your mac. Bang for the buck on a mac blows period.

        So basically you can't name one... you'd think at 30 - 40% you'd be able to name at least one program.

          aico, when I looked at similarly priced laptops, dual core to dual code, the apples were about 50% more expensive, and they weren't built anywhere near as tough as the PC world machines.

          When I looked at desktops, the results where similar.

          Every year, the mac gets closer and closer to being a PC, more buttons on your mouse, microsoft software for office, and heck, now even Intel CPUs... I am trying to think what the next good PC thing is that Mac will try to take over and claim as their own.

          Macs are very good machines, no doubt about it, but the price difference just doesn't justify the snooty attitude mac users all seem to have about their stuff.

            That's funny since Windows was copied from Apple's OS ... Just like Vista is copied from OS X.

            Your points are moot, and really it was a sad attempt, StickyFingerz has a better argument going.

            But your opinion, even though you have your facts a little wrong, is always welcome.

              Also, would love to see any of your price comparisons. You know, proof.

                          wow aico is the kind of fan boy that pisses me off. Copies the apple page and speaks everything said in the commerials on TV.

                          Right now I have both a G3 and a G4 I use on a daily bases.. but guess what advanced submitter/dream submitter/etc dont work with those so thats why I have a widows box.

                          However OS X allows me to be writing some scripts for testing in a very close emulation to my current server setup while with a click of a mouse button I still have access to some sweet apps such as photoshop. It basically combined the need for a test machine and a dev machine for me. Now that the new programs are out for the intel machines that can emulate windows I am thinking of picking up a new mac.. i just need to know I can ditch the windows box.

                          Basically it comes down to is what tasks do you need to do, and is that machine able to do it.

                              When you take off the training wheels and get past submitting galleries, I am sure you can afford a G5 or maybe even a MacPro...

                              What the fuck is an Fanboy? Cuz I know both my ex and current girlfriend use that term about the guys who would come up to their booths at model shows and hang out... So, if that's your meaning, might want to try again.
