There are plenty of Mac viruses. It's just that there are probably thousands of times more Windows ones.Plus the no-viruses on a Mac is good
It's better than half of the Mac owners I know IRL (and there are a lot of them here on campus). They're pompous, elitist pricks; acting as though owning a Mac somehow makes them better people. Anyone that acts like that makes me sick. I will admit that there are a lot of Mac owners who are perfectly nice people, though.I find it most curious that Mac users are generally along the lines of "Oh, I prefer Mac. Nothing against PC's, of course; but Mac deals with my needs better". Compared to Windows users whom are typically "LOL WINDOZ FOR THE WIN MAX SUUUUXXXX". Why the hate and animosity? Is it like homophobia, where you are seekritly wish you were Mac users?
Even I won't judge a company based on its computers 15 years ago. Come on, be reasonable.macs are fail back in 2002 I had a 1996 mac laptop and a 1996 Compaq i believe it was the mac died in 2 months while the compaq stayed running just fine
Really? I don't find you have to be a geek to use it...well Ubuntu anyway.
All you do is follow the simple install wizard, which includes selecting it to install along side you existing OS, then once up and running go straight into the package manager and install the Gstreamer codecs, next install dvdcss for playing encrypted DVD's, and finally the w32codecs package for playing Real/Windows Media Formats/Quicktime, then your done! Simple.
Later on to install a program all you do is open the package manager, search for it, click to install, done.
Wow yeah why don't you generalize against a quite large group of people and prove once again that Mac users are obnoxious. And rofl at the homophobia reference. Don't even dip into territory you can't compete in.No, you're not.

I don't own a Mac. I'm not a Mac user.

I'm Gay. How exactly does this make me "not able to compete in" discussing homophobia?

Macs have right-click. Maybe you should update your knowledge before..oh, how did you put it: "dipping into territory you can't compete in"?
That being said I prefer PC due to its ease of use-- can someone honestly tell me why Ctrl + Click is better than Right Click? But anyway I'm sure I'd love Mac if it were easier and more efficient to use

I find it hilarious actually that not only Mac users but Mac commercials as well just spread hate about Windows without any real reason other than "PC has problems. Vista doesn't work." ...none of which are substancial on their own.

I've used Windows for most of my life, and I still love my Mac. It was different at first, since I was not used to it at all, but it didn't take long before I got used to it. I think it works so much better than my old Windows XP, which was really dumb because it couldn't even read most of the CDs I put into it.
donavannj said:That has more to do with the CD-Drive on the computer than the operating system. Really old CD-drives can't read newer CDs because the drives don't spin fast enough.
There was no reason they couldn't have used two-button mouse. If I was stuck Ctrl+Clicking, I'd be annoyed too.I was forced to use a Mac for my CS lab last year and I really disliked it. I've always used Windows and some of the small differences really irked me, namely the one button mouse and using the apple key instead of the ctrl key for everything. I understand that they are small things I could probably get used to, but small things can add up to be really annoying.
I also found it really confusing to use, in general, and most things took me at least twice as long to do, although that is probably just because I'm used to using windows. Overall I prefer PCs.
Hardware-wise yeah. But, I like the operating system itself :xMacs suck. You can build a PC for just as good if not better for the fraction of the price. The only reason to have a Mac is if you want to look like a rich snob.
