Alrighty, first off I must answer these :P
~MACS~ rules!,PCs r crap compared to macs if u ask me
Really? What
makes a PC made by Apple and using the MAC OS any better then a PC made by other companies and using the Windows OS?
What makes all of the other computers out there such "crap" compared to an Apple computer?
MAC FTW!!!!!!!!!!!
PC SUX CUZ YOU GET TARGETED FOR VIRUS
I get a lot of "Dude, all the kool games are on PC!"
I only need one PC game...and it's available on Mac! Starcraft rulz!
In general, most software is made for Windows OS's. This is a legitimate flaw I find with Macs, which I will discuss further down.
As for the viruses, I think again, it's due to there is more software on Windows PCs, which I again will explain further down.
I've used both. I've used Windows for the majority of my computer-owning life, and right now I've been using a Mac. I started using a Mac a year ago.
I have to say that I've been much more content using a Mac. It's much more what I want from a personal computer. :D And I find it's much more reliable.
Question: What is so much more reliable about a Mac PC then a Windows PC?
Anyways, onto this.
I've never used a Mac, so I can't really say too much about it. But there are a few things I have to point out.
So many people talk about how much more "secure" Mac is in comparison to Windows. I feel that this is very inaccurate. The reason for the lack of viruses for Macs is because Hackers have a larger amount of people to target when they go after a Windows computer.
As for the software. Yes, I do find an issue with the compatibility. A MAJOR issue. Most software for Windows, you can purchase, and run it on most of the different OS's, and it also doesn't matter who manufactured the computer. With Macs, the software has to be specifically geared for Mac OS, and any Mac components or software, can only be used on an Apple computer and on Mac OS.
Thirdly, and the one that annoys me the most, "performance." Like I said, I've never used a Mac, so I can't say much there. However, I constantly hear about how reliable a Mac is. Okay, I can accept that one, but first tell me, what is so "
unreliable" about Windows?
I have used Windows since MS-DOS, and I still have not had the great "unreliability" that many Mac users I know have mentioned. Over 5 OS's, and 8 computers, I have had only a couple of crashes, and almost all of them were my fault.
Alright, onto Windows.
I've been using Windows since plain MS-DOS, and I have had absolutely no real issues. Unlike what so many people, Mac and Windows users complain about, I've seen very few major errors on any of the OS's I've used.
Just on a side note, I'd like to ask, why do people complain about these so called large "memory issues" with XP. I've been using Windows XP since 2003, and I've had no trouble whatsoever with memory.
In more specifics, the infamous Windows XP Media Center 2005 edition, which I'm currently using, is supposedly known to be a large memory eater. However, I've had better performance out of this thing then with any of my previous computers, excluding my Windows 98SE.
So, where do you guys get that from?
Wow...that was a long post for me :P
