How many of you use Mac here? I don't. Not because I have a choice but because I'm hesitant. Fans swear by the Mac and I've seen forums getting ugly in the discussion between Mac fans and Vista users. I don't get it - and so they do say - you'd only know if you use one. Honestly what is in a Mac?
I have no clue. No I'm not naive but I still have to overcome the learning curve involved. The reason I ask is that recently one of my friends bought Vista ultimate and not being quiet tech savvy requested me to install it for him. Vista Ultimate with its Aero theme and all its bells and whistles could put the Mac to shame. But then Vista is not all that stable too. The applications crash and in fact its only a matter of time before your machine goes dead as a doornail. Its irksome UAC prompt bugs people every moment they dare to click.
But then it works. From freeware to shareware to adware and spyware… its all out there available on the net. Applications are built to run on windows. You have the office suite (and a choice at that), media players out in the open, CD DVD burners and what have you. What is the choice a Mac user has? Does it even work? Seriously I'm curious seeing Guy Kawasaki going around with his MacBook running short of a DVD even. What gives?

They both have their own set of quirks,
it is all personal decision. Mac is more stable, lot of clicks to get where you want to be, it is very hard to customize
or hardware update. P.C.s are not so stable, easy to customize easy to update hardware, and just a tad less expensive.
So of course there are more out there, which makes them easier targets for scumball hackers. Mac is not so plenti-
ful, thus less chance to hack, but at a tech show some one hacked a Mac in a very short amount of time. So we are back to a personal decision, or how much money to you have or how hip with it you want to be.
Reasonable. Which one do you use and why?
Due to financial restraints I use a P.C., with Vista. It is just the CPU, I
am saving for a flat screen monitor, maybe by the end summer. I do know how to fix Vista, Bill should send everyone with it a free gig of ram.
They both have problems. There are troubleshoot forums for Apple users as much as there are for PC users. If you go by the TV commercials, I'm afraid you are another victim of the money making schemes found in the USA. I find that people with less computing experience (which the Apple commercials target) hide behind this Apple attitude as a way of hiding the fact that they don't have any real computing talent. Any real computer experienced person knows Apple is not better. While Microsoft and Apple fight their war, people are forgetting the open source systems which I find to be a better choice all things considered.
Yeah I knew that not directly but by word of mouth from friend, what I think is hilarious is the way Apple touts all parts are made by the same companies. As if electronic parts are better just for that reason like they don't all go through the same testing and have different specs for them. It is sad how the consumer society is such a group of deluded brain dead people.
