True, true, but all *NIXs behave in fairly similar ways, due to the POSIX specification. That must be one of the differences, I'm guessing.
People can scream, "I don't like Macs because they suck at gaming" and "I don't like Windows because Microsoft is an evil corporate giant" all they want. The one universal truth that both Windows and Mac users can agree upon is that Linux is terrible, and be glad that we never considered switching to it. :p
My first computer was a Linux on a hand me down computer and I was on that thing for about 6 years of my life, so don't give me that crap. Macs don't do gaming, since most games are geared towards Microsoft. I really disagree with you when you say that they should stick with the iPod. The OS X does work, if you know what the hell you're doing and it works with what you do on the computer.You are those people, and you've obviously no experience with linux. Linux is the most common OS for people running servers so think, why DO professional business people use linux? Mac OS X is just Apple's take at a user friendly operating system, geared towards proprietary software. They should stick to smaller things, like the iPod. The ironic thing is Macs DO do gaming, and that Apple is just as bad as Micro$oft when it comes to being an 'evil corporate giant'.

Also, most corporations do not use Linux, most still use Windows 2000 Server Edition :S
Whoever told you that most businesses use Linux for servers is a complete idiot -_-;
Yeah, but you can't deny that Windows has some of the best games. I know that games such as World of Warcraft play on Mac, but the pool isn't that wide.Web servers? Linux has moved on a LOT in the past few years so there's no point ruling it out on past experience. Macs DO do gaming, provided you spend the premium on a decent one, which is roughly twice as much as a similar performing non-Apple computer. There are actually a pretty big library of Mac games, just go down to your local Apple store.
I suggest to the mods that this thread be closed, the only thing people are doing is bashing the OS's, and this argument can never be won.
The point being, You can do things on Windows that you can't do on Mac, and you can do things on Mac that you can't do on Windows. Neither one of them is superior in that respect, it just depends on you, and what you do on the computer. That's why this argument cannot be won. Windows will probably always have control over the Corporations and the Gaming, and Mac will always have control over Graphics and the like, so there is no point in bickering over who is dominant. From a Psychological standpoint, this argument can probably be derived from someone's social status, The Geeks and Normal people will usually turn to Windows, and the artists will usually turn to Mac. This whole argument may be a battle of social orders.
last time i used a mac i got a virus from viewing porn, so i do believe there are viruses for the macOh yeah, well try getting a virus on a mac. oh wait, YOU CAN'T. So that;s one less thing you need to pay for for a Mac.
idle threats are stupid and won't gain any respectWait til Virtual Chatot and Gerri get here to point out all the good things about mac. And all that stuff you mentioned like with Videos, etc. IT'S CALLED ILIFE!
Get a Mac. They may seem more expensive but to make a PC as good as a Mac it will end up costing the same or more than a mac. If you are on a budget get the Mac Mini, if you have enough money go for the iMac. If you do need to run Windows for any reason, you can run it in parallels, and in bootcamp. Not to mention that Windows runs so much better on a Mac than it does on a PC. I opened up Windows XP in parallels yesterday and it was ready to use in 15 seconds. I personally would get an iMac, and think about it like this, if you ever move, its just one pretty small box compared to like 3 or 4 giant boxes for the monitor, tower, printer, and all that other crap that isn't built into a tower.

It's not that you can't get viruses, its extremely hard to them though. Only doing something stupid, like viewing porn for instance, would the chance for getting a virus increase.
idle threats are stupid and won't gain any respect
I don't really see how its a threat, he was just noting that me and Gerri and big Mac fans, and we know alot them :S
yes, but thats most likely because it wasn't from a cold boot up, your apple fanboyism is ultimately stupid and makes people pity you for joining a stupid fad, you're worse than an otaku right now
I could say the same thing about you, but that wouldn't be fair.
anyway, IMO I prefer Windows over Mac,mainly because I can right clickbecause I love some of the stuff it gets and the Mac doesn't get, honestly I can't see myself without addons and that for WLM, plus windows gets whatever job i need done, done
You can right click? I'm confused
That's exactly what I said though, if you look closely at the post to you are referring you would see that you are saying the exact same thing I am.I resent the "Windows does this, Mac does that" argument, since they both can do what the other does just fine. I'd just rather do it on an OS that works for me without having to spend all that extra money. Plus, just like there are graphics programs that run better on a Mac, there are those that run better on Windows (names escape me though, I do not often dabble in CG and animation programs).
I've read a few books, taken a college course in it. x3Wow, geeks use Windows aye, and the artists use a Mac? What has that got to do with which OS is better? (btw are you a psychologist?)
I wouldn't call you a 'Mac fan' as much as I'd call you an idiot. But that's just my opinion.I don't really see how its a threat, he was just noting that me and Gerri and big Mac fans, and we know alot them :S
Just... shut up. You're making yourself (and any other person using a Mac) look like idiots.Oh yeah, well try getting a virus on a mac. oh wait, YOU CAN'T. So that;s one less thing you need to pay for for a Mac.

If you are going to run a PC, don't get Vista. If you want a good look, get Ubuntu. If you want functionality and compatibility (with a PC) run windows xp. Otherwise do the smart thing and get a mac!

Mac is well known for not allowing any virus inside the cpu. It's what I like about Mac for that. However, if you know how to keep cpu clean from "the virus world" and know how to take care of it. Get PC!
Dunno how? Rookie? Get Mac. =]
unless someone has too much free time and makes over million viruses for a mac, then it should be about evenNot allowing any virus inside the CPU? What the hell? Mac's get viruses just like PCs. There are just fewer of them! ;)
