well i dont know much about mac but i've a heard a great saying about MACINTOSH and that is Most Applications Crash If Not Operating System Hangs... well this is just for fun..... now serious mood :- i think people say all kind of bad stuff for Windows but i actually Love Windows and the reason for that is that it can be installed on an assembled computer but it is not possible in MAC's case and that is why it is more expensive...secondly there are not many applications for macintosh as you will find in Windows. Now the reason for Viruses, Spywares is that everyone knows that Windows is more popular and that's why these virus-makers target WINDOWS only and i think we must look at the brighter side of it and that is due to this the companies like Symantec, trend micro, mcaffee are existing and are one great source of employment  so my vote goes for WINDOWS

Out of those 2? Depends. While I am a digital artist, and love eye candy, I am a big gamer and programmer, so I guess Windows. But It depends what version of each, I also love Unix (which only Mac OS X has). I use Linux most of the time, it is my OS of choice.

I prefer Windows, however, it's been a while since I've actually seen a Mac, but when I did see it, I hated it, don't remember why. I've also heard many bad things about Mac, so that's another reason I like Windows more. Plus, as has already been said, Windows has more applications compatible with it than most other operating systems.

I used to use Macs exclusively for about 7 years and would always have Mac v PC arguments with friends. Then I started using PCs. Now I don't care which really.

Macs are really stable because Apple programmers know for which particular hardware are they programming for! No 3rd party modifications and custom made PCs here! Just MAC! PC and Macs are really similar from the hardware side... It's the software side that counts! Linux made the PC stable again - and that's my preferred choice! Although, because of some hardware that works only on Windows, I'm still dual booting Windows and Linux on my machine. So, I'm not gonna say "Windows" or "Mac"... My vote goes for the "PC"!

I am not really sure which I perfer. I like the computers not made by Mac but I like some of the resources Mac has to offer. I haven't used it that much but they seem to have better resources like Imovies and Mac Dreamweaver. I do like windows though too because I think it is easier to get around and stuff like that. I really have no preference but I have windows and I use it most and that's what I am stuck with.

Apple when they switch to Intel. Then we'll really see who's better becasue then we can test them side by side on different hardware (by hacking of course).

Appears that Apple survived because they had a niche in schools, desktop publishing, and graphic design that the crude GUI of DOS/Windows OS could not cope with. Apple is still in the lead today in those areas, but to a lesser extent. Windows is still not up to par yet with the Mac in these areas today, but Windows have cleaned up their act considerably since the 1980's. Besides Apple (unlike Microsoft) seems to be such an innovative computer company (one hears). It is the iPod in 2005. Things like the RISC chip, Newton, iMac, G5, OS X, etc. help Apple to survive. And in 2006 Apple going over to Intel?

I think Windows is better. Whenever i go to get software and Usb related things, it will usally say that you have to have certain adapters in order to use them. Most everything is made for windows. I was talking to a friend that has a mac and she said that in order to use Google Talk she had to run it through something else on the mac. With Windows you don't have to run through anything on the computer, it runs by itself.

Widescreen Computer Display

of (1280 * 800). For me I think these widescreen display should be the way to go, it allows you
more space to do your stuff especially if you are doing some image editing, and that requires a huge
amount of resolution size. There is an argument whereby you can increase your resolution to make it
tinier so that you can have more space but then again, the problem with making the....
