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

1. Laptop Computers - What is the best laptop computer brand? (60)

   I am wanting to save my money for a laptop computer, and I want to know what type/brand of laptop is
   the best one, and will it work for years to come? /unsure.gif' border='0'
   style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /> I just want to know which laptop computer will
   work, so I am not wasting money and something that won't work. I don't know of many laptop

2. Power Supply Unit (psu) - Computer restarting while playing games (7)

   I have read in a lot of forums about the importance of this component. And with regards to my
   problem of the computer restarting while playing games, this could very well be the reason but I
   can't confirm anything. When I bought my graphics card Winfast A6200 TD, a minimum of 400w
   output was needed from the psu and that was I had. But is the psu actually causing the problem of my
   computer restarting? That the psu does not have enough power to handle the functions of the graphics
   card? I was playing PES 6 (Pro Evolution Soccer 6) and everything seemed fine until i...

3. Ctrl + C Will Not Work - Windows Xp Pro SP2 (17)

   I recently built a computer, everything seems to be alright with it, except one thing, CTRL + C just
   won't work. I'm running a Windows Windows Xp Pro SP2, and Ctrl + X and Ctrl + V work fine.
   I mean, I could probably just cut and paste anything I want to copy but it seems like such a hassle.
   Has anyone came across this problem before? Or know how to fix it?...

4. First Computer You Ever Owned - What was the first personal computer tha (207)

   Just a curiosity issue for me. I know that a lot of you are very young (at least compared to me), so
   I imagine that some of the responses will be Pentium 3's or 4's. However, bringing back
   memories of older technology is entertaining for me. So if you started "Back in the Good Ol'
   Days" I'd like to hear what you started with. The first computer that I ever personally owned
   was a Timex-Sinclair 1000. It was a small thing that hooked upi to a television for a monitor. The
   base system came with 1K of memory. There was no such thing as a hard drive at the ...

5. Decent Computer - for £250 (7)

   Hi, it's my birthday at the beginning of May (8th), and I expect to get roughly £250 or
   $500. I was wondering if anyone knows of any what-you-would-call good deals on a computer.
   However, if you do find any, it would be preferrable they were located in the UK (so no shipping),
   if they are in the US, for example, remember shipping to the UK. Anyway, I want as a minimum of
   Dual Core Proccessor (2 giga hertz) 150GB/160GB HD 1GB Ram XP/Vista or no Operating system and a
   decent graphics card that will play most games Obviously these are minimum, so anything bette...

8. Computer Problems - Hanging/crashing - PC Randomly Crashes And Hangs, Ideas? (16)

   I recently got a new computer, a NEC i-Select D5410. A few days ago it started to randomly crash,
   and all inputs and outputs were cut. The monitor displayed "No Signal", the keyboard and mouse
   stopped working and the speakers cut out, yet the power light remained on, and the fans were still
   spinning. Opening the DVD and CD drive still worked, so it isn't a power or mobo failure, as far
   as I am aware. In an attempt to remedy the problem I have moved the computer into a more open area
   to try and improve air flow, as I belive the problem is overheating or lack of air c...

11. Slow Internet Browsing With Brand New Computer - (14)

    I have a brand new computer running Windows XP 512 MB RAM, Compaq Presario 1.4Ghz Celeron. I am
    connected to the internet with Comcast in Fremont. Web sites pages are slow to open up. The
    performance problem occurs on many different sites, so I suspect the problem is on my end -- either
    the computer or my internet connection. It often takes several seconds to open up a link. What
    can I do to fix this? I am not one to be picky about speed, but net browsing is so slow that I
    don't feel like using the computer any more. I've heard some people say that ...

26. Widescreen Computer Display - Is it better? (7)

    What do you think of the widescreen display laptops are beginning to adopt nowadays? Is that the
    right way to go? Or should we stick to our original display (800 * 600, 1024 * 768 ... etc) instead
    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...
