MACS BLOW (or do they?)
 

I am a Windows man myself, but there seems to be a shifting tide in recent years. Where do you stand?

:upsidedow

PC all the way!

was alla bout pc, but got a mac recently and will be 100% switched in the next couple months

I dont like coffee alot, so Ill stick with PC's :thumbsup

anything is better than microshit.
I prefer linux but I would galdly use a mac over a pc.

Hardware tweakers and people who always want go grab the latest and greatest video cards or other hardware upgrades probable wont like Mac's to much. The overclocking crowd, too.

Otherwise, macs are great machines. I'll probably always get apple laptops from now on, but once my mac desktop becomes obsolete, I'll probably just build PC's again from scracth and run Linux (not a windows guy at all).

It's a bit difficult figuring out where some things are but is just a learning curve.

got myself a macbook in November 2006...havent looked back. so glad i gave it a shot...plus chics dig the mac

Got a mac about a year ago, wouldn't go back to winblows if you paid me.

Macs RULE! Have you seen the commercials? That PC guy like, totally sucks lol! But Macs make you smarter, it's been proven by tons of studies and scientists. And they come in such pretty designer colors! You're like, a total loser if you use PCs.

I'll stay with PC.:)

once you go Mac, you never go back.

Plus you can make webpages, and your own videos on a mac, wherein with a PC you can only do excel spreadsheets, and use the calculator. I think this is a no brainer.

Okay... lets end this Argument

I don't try to force people to switch, because I couldn't care less. Use what you are most productive on, and for that, it's Mac all the way for me.

pc all the way

PC for sure

Mac, no doubt!

Mac Mac Mac Mac.

Unless you have used both, for work and play... I mean seriously used them both, how could you even compare? I'm betting anyone that jumps up and down over the PC has never really used a New mac... I have mutliple versions of both... I hold an MSCE I have build WAN's for large companys using everything from Windows server to Novell to AS400's. With all that behind me, the fucking Mac rules. Sorry, hate the truth if you will... get caught up in all the idiot hype, adds, fighting between the different formats... let the smoke clear and the Mac is still on top.

Best thing is this... Find a way to get your hands on a new Intel mac for a week.. use it. Encode video on it. Surf the web on it. get your email on it. Really use it.... then come back here and tell us which you like better.

OS X is actually NetBSD, not FreeBSD, but still, I agree being *BSD is one of it's very strong points :thumbsup

An Apple a day... even if it's a mini mac, it rocks!

apple is fashion brand.

I have not used a mac since I was at school...but I must say I am getting curious...!

sticking with PC :)

if it wouldnt cost me 10 grand to convert I would seriously think about it and a big part of it is what a piece of crap vista is.

Macs are PCs now... I guess the poll should be Windows vs MacOS and maybe thrown in Linux :)

what ever works for you, but i built my business on mac osx.

Apple rules!

Was gonna post the same thing. Open a mac and you'll find standard pc hardware (Intell Core (2) duo processors, intell or nvidea graphics cards etc). The only thing that's original about a mac these days is the design.

If you are doing mac stuff with mac software and that is your entire goal in life, then the mac is fine.

If you go beyond "end user" status, then the Mac is probably way too restrictive for you. If you like to use the latest software, apps, and web accessories, then the mac isn't for you either.

If you want to impress the girls with your art deco computer, buy a mac. If you have work to do, get a PC.

I'd advise anyone who's never thought about getting a mac to buy a cheap macbook or something to just have hanging round the house to use while your in bed every now and then. That's what I did, and eventually I wanted my work machines to be macs aswell.

The hardest thing about switching is unlearning windows habits.

Sorry, but this is just wrong.

mac i say...

Bill Gates FTW!!11!!!!

yep.....

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Is roboform in mac version yet? I will switch then.

Macs have a keychain which stores all your passwords and allows you to manage them. Works perfectly.

osx will never be a completely viable business operating system until it's available (fully) for equipment from multiple hardware vendors. until that time users will have to deal with the fact of limited software from limited sources. the only honest thing apple did this year was remove "computers" from their name. their entire marketing campaign spouts propaganda and preys on ignorance.

You realise how that sounds to all the people on this board who run their business on macs?

Here's you telling them they have to deal with hardware issues and limited software like you know better than them. :thumbsup

Mac OS X blows Windows XP and Vista out of the water, no comparison.

Windows all the way

Macs are fun for children and fanboys.

Seriously.

Who will really tell a buddy, "Hey, I'm a Mac user. Are you?"

Fucking pansies. Self-absorbed, masturbators, those Mac users. Go sit in your fucking coffee shop and drink your latte while you all post in some gay-ass blog.

I haven't used a mac I like, and I've had to use a few for basic desktop work. In fact, every fucking person (read "designer") I've worked with who uses a mac has been a fucking whimpering child if they're told the color for that "header" is a bit "off".

Yea. Great user base, macs have. :(

If you're a mac user and get offended by my post -- you're exactly who I'm referring to. Fucking pussy.

If you're a mac user and can pass by my post -- good for you for finding a platform you can get work done on.

Windows has made me so stressed out that I have to rant about what other people do and the choices they make, even though they don't affect me in any way.

Mac users are generally more successful, so they are more relaxed, can work anywhere that is comfortable with them, usually in their pajamas. While I have to work for some fucking mongoloid who I actually probably know than.

Most Mac users expect perfection, which is why they use a Mac in the first place, when things are a "bit off", it is not acceptable to them, which is probably why they are more successful than me.

I am jealous & insecure

Thank you for validating my post.

BTW - The color of that "header" is off. - Need tissue?

:)

i have been a windows user since i got my first computer in 1999... and only used mac to type my class papers in high school, i recently got a mac and love it way more then i do windows...

i take offense to what you just said, get over yourself, its an operating system, it doesn't make your life decisions you make its life decisions, if you like mac, good, if you like windows, cool, but going off on someone who chooses another operating system then you, is uncalled for...
