2007 year of the Mac
 

It seems more and more people are switching to Macs, especially on GFY. Every time there's a 'what laptop' thread the MBP gets mentioned over and over.

How many more people are planning on switching? and for what reason?

With CS3, Leopard and mac adult software only a couple months away 2007 is gonna be a great time to be a mac user. No looking back here. :thumbsup

I am thinking of buying a Mac this year.

already switched to mac. i am glad to get rid off bill gate's shit and pc

I have no plans to buy a mac... ever

I bought a MacBook last month!

I have started to eat more of Macdonalds :-)

I consider buying Mac, but as second computer. Switching wouldn't be easy nowadays.

wow, you are right...that 12% is AMAZING

How's the Mac Pro versus the Mac BOOK Pro? Discounting the fact that one is a laptop, and one is a desktop, of course.

That's already on my plan--probably this coming month.

i bought and ibook and then a macbookpro in 06. still use the semi-trusty pc as a work horse tho. I love my macs for personal use :)

They are both really solid. I work with both at work and an intel iMac at home. I have Paralells Desktop running on 2 machines so I can run some WinXP apps at work. Really more testing it out. One guy I know bought a MBP and runs all his hardcore 3D software that is PC only. Says it works pretty damn well. At home I installed VMWare which is another way to install WinXP on the Mac. Works ok. Lets me run Unified Stats and other things I am messing around with.

The Mac Pro is a kick ass machine though. Faster than the MBP. And plus you can install a shit-ton of RAM and a lot of extra HD's (4 I think).

...Just bought my first one about 3 hours ago

I'm also a big Mac fan.... be it a mini, an imac, any of them is better than a pc.

I am planning on getting a Mac Pro this year, too. Just incredibly stable and reliable machines.

I'll never switch to a mac. I like PC's and am happy.

Its nice when you have parallells machines, its easy to use. and fun to learn off of. for different purposes of course.

Mac all the way bitches :)

you know...macs arnt all that "special...

damn thats hurting my eyes :1orglaugh :error

Still planning to get one this coming June. :)

I'm thinking about buying a Macbook in the summer :)

Already a proud Mac user! :)

MAC dumped ppc all together didn't they? Essentially they're just pc's now.

Bought a MacBook.. trying to resist running Parallels for the last few Windows programs I might want to use.

One noticable difference is the lack of a StatsRemote or Unified Stats like product for Mac OS X.

Im guessing even a poll on gfy would show mac with less than 20%. More than likely less than 15%. But mac users are likely to sign up with multibile nicks and vote. lol

I buy macs to give to the community center for the mentally disabled, since they're kinda aimed towards that crowd anyways. Also it helps that they repel drool quite well.

I bought this about a month ago. The reason, tired of buying a new PC every year.

Mac Pro

I hate it when you get hardcore mac fans and hardcore pc fans fighting over which is best, I mean they are both good for different reasons I choose to use a pc because I prefer a pc

Spoken like a true 'ignoramous'.
Or a lame attempt at humor.

You will eventually be using a Mac. Trust me.:thumbsup

Never going to happen.

i bought a macbook for my wife and to be honest... i just didn't like it at all.. mac's interface just pisses me off.. sorry for the mac users here but i think i'm just a pc guy after all.. hehe wifey loves it though.. :thumbsup

I'll be getting a mac soon.

Don't think I'll be "switching" to it, but it's not a bad idea to have both in your arsenal.

They are cool looking and all but when I look at the price to buy one and what I could build for the same amount.I feel very fucked.

ya know, i have always liked macs, never called them stupid or useless, used them in my highschool days, and that, always been a PC guy... but i decided to take the plunge a few weeks ago and bought a decent Mac iBook off ebay, and to be honest, i find myself on that more then i do my PC, except while im doing work, because the ibook isn't really that good of a work machine for the programs i use, since its small

well, by the end of may, i will no longer be using a windows based machine, as the 2 weeks i've been fucking with my ibook, im getting a mac desktop to replace my beloved and always handy dell demension 3000 and will be stripping that down and putting linux on it to use as a storage machine for movies/music and shit so my macs can just get that shit from there...

Hi my name is Josh, and i'm a new Mac fan.

sticking to pc all the way

I switched 2 years ago and I feel sorry for ignorant pc users.

I mean, those who never owned a mac and think they know something about it.

i dont like mac

Don't you have a truck-stop to visit, get inspiration for writing another country song? :1orglaugh
