QUOTE So, I'm not gonna say "Windows" or "Mac"... My vote goes for the "PC"!
I hate MAC. Its specification is far inferior to that of the PC. (the CPU is slow and the DDR333 is unacceptably slow in nowadays standard.) It does not appear so slow simply because of the operating system that they are using. Built on BSD, the Mac OS X Tiger is less resource hungry then Windows. That’s why MAC people don’t feel that they are running a computer of the Jurassic Age. But if you have to rip movies and edit videos, you will few the difference in CPU speed. Another unreasonable conception the MAC people have is that a computer should look beautiful. They always say that the MAC is much more prettier than the PC, which sometimes, like mine (I have four computers in my flat), are built to order with a Made-in-China case that looks so ugly. But who cares about the appearance of a computer? We are computer people, right? The sole merit of a computer is that its speed. It is not a piece of furniture, is it? A bulky case with a lot of fans is good for ventilation within the case and is thus better than a compact case that only looks good. I have seen no computer that looks good and, at the same time, runs good. The choice of software is very restricted in MAC too. Say, you can only run Azuresus for BT in MAC, while there are a lot of clients for Windows. Simply look at basic things like firewalls, text editors and media player and you will see how poor software support is in MAC. I will go for PC too. You don’t necessarily have to run Windows on a PC. You can have many operating systems (like Linux and Windows in the same box) on a PC, which is again a feature that MAC cannot offer.

Personally i like either windows or linux operating systems over macs. The reason is that i build computers and servers so i would not be able to run mac on it. Plus, i play soooo many games that a mac would be useless for those. I know people say, "i never get virus' on my mac" and such and that is true. But you can have the same kind of protection by using linux. Plus, for those mac novices out there, the mac os is built on top of linux therefore it truely is a linux os. Therefore, why spend the extra cash on a mac when u can get a free os on your own assembled computer for a fraction of the price

I am used to using Windows operating system, and tha is because I have not tried using Macs before. Not even once! but I would like to learn how to use it, because most Graphic Arts and Webdesigning companies uses Mac OS and they prefer people with knowledge on using it when hiring for a job. I am not really sure, but i guess there are significant difereences between the two. I based that on the Adobe Photoshop books that I am reading, there are difference in keyboard shortcuts. And most tutorials on those books are written by OS user Potoshop experts.

I think windows is for like normal use because it's hard to find every software for mac. Mac is basically for entertainment. Like if you like editing movies/music and you are into stuff like this, then mac is perfect for you. It also doesn't crash, freeze, and bug you that much. It is also easier to use and looks wayyyyy better. Mac is better than windows according to me and theres no doubt bout it but if you just need a compputer for normal use then windows is perfect because its really hard to find softwares and stuff for mac. And really asy with windows.

I prefer windows and linux. Now although there are more virii WRITEN for windows, doesn't mean you'll get infected. a smart user will almost never get virii. Same witha dumb user on mac may just stumble upon a virus for macs. Same with linux. For me, software for macs are harder to find, and much more expensive. Compare the photoshop prices. Also, getting a good graphic card for a mac or the equivalent on a pc..the mac's price can sometimes double, for the same card. And the power of the very minimal ammount of upgrades for a mac will bottleneck because they are slower. PC's nowadays are getting up to 4-5 ghz. Macs are still in the "stone age" 1.6 ghz and such. Lastly, when you need an upgrade for a PC, you usually only have to buy a few parts, a stick of ram, or a new graphic card or a new processor. For macs, you'd have to buy a whole new mac (which i say is extremely expensive). You pay around 900 bucks for something half or a third of what you could have bought for a PC.

QUOTE(mayank @ Aug 6 2005, 09:14 AM) 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  Your little saying there is quite wrong mac is now on a UNIX opperating system, so it CANT CRASH, very rarely an app might quit, but only if they were programmed poorly... Windows on the other hand crashes quite often...
