Why do people always badmouth Macs?

Question

Personally i think Macs are for grown ups.
- My Mac has never crashed.
- Networking is a snap.
- Every piece of hardware i own (camera, film camera, zip drives, printers, etc.) have all worked seamlessly with my Mac.
- All the Professional programs are made for Macs, not PC's (Adobe, Macromedia, Final Cut Pro, Pro Tools, etc.)
- Most of the other programs have Mac versions
- My Mac is faster than any PC i've sat down at (except a few self-built models)
- The OS is much more user friendly.
- Utilities are easy to manage and customize.
- The Native Programs kick anything Windows offers

I could go on. I don't care if you have a PC, but I don't like all these PC people answering negatively to valid Mac questions. It seems to me the only reasons you hate Macs is because you can't play those stupid games (which most of them, YOU CAN) and you can't download illegal files at most sharing sites.

Grow up.

Answer 1

Some like beer, some like wine, some just want a shot of liquor.

It really depends on your preference. People who love graphical design and likes the MAC interface will prefer MACs. I do admit, I have said in the past I think they are for boys and not Men...but I wasnt being rude about it. I just think the interface is very user friendly and all the features look cartoonish to me. When it comes to PC, they require more hands-on training and they are harder to configure so I think its something men like. Its a low level platform and it takes a person a lot of patience and knowledge to use one....a challenging concept for older generations.

I got used to PCs. Ive had one for more than 10 years now. I used to have a MAC, but I just dont like the interface and the windows architecture on it. I can see why some might like it though.

Its all preference and what youre used to. You wont get any linux users to like MACs....they are two totally different systems.

Some like IE, some like Firefox. Dont you think its all about what they are used to and what they prefer?

If you ever looked at my past MAC answers, I always answer MAC questions seriously. I never make fun of them, they all serve the same purpose.

Jelousy-Its hard to admit when something is better

I supported MACs for 2 years, they do
have thier problems. However, not as extensive as Windows.

When OS X was released there was a period of
about a month where the product (manufactured by
a well known printing company) didn't work at all.

The big issues PC users have with MACs is most MACs
are not backwards compadible. A PC can be
upgraded numerous times before having to totally
replace the whole system.

For instance, most PC motherboard manufacturers
still put parallel ports on their systems. Parallel ports
haven't been used in years! Serial ports are still being
used for the mouse and keyboard.

I enjoy both platforms. MAC definetly has the upper hand
for more artistic functionality. PCs are more flexable when
it comes to upgrades. And PCs are quite a bit cheaper.

I priced out my perfect PC a few months ago. It was
$1200. Granted, it wasn't 'top of the line'.
Then I priced my perfect MAC.......$6200!
Granted, it was a QUAD processor!!
Yes, for all you "PCs are more advanced"
people, a Quad!!

I'm sure you can guess which one I wanted.....
I got the one I could afford.

Microsoft owned 15% of Apple's stock at one time so we should
all learn how to get along.

And if it wasn't for Apple, where would PC engineers get
thier ideas from?

Answer 3

I don't prefer MACs over PCs, nor do I like to badmouth about MAC questions. I have learned to work with both. I use a PC notebook which runs a lot faster than the new Intel chip MacBooks. I run Adobe (Macromedia) software on my PC with no problem. If you priced your MAC at $6200. That's money not spent wisely.

Answer 4

They've never used one. :)
