well i guess mac is open source, unix-based system, the most stable system that was ever built, has no securtity holes like windows, fool-proof system. if u know enough unix programming you can do wonders with mac.
mac was there GUI based even when microsoft was selling DOS and had no idea about GUI, u know what experts say, "WINDOWS WAS BUILT BY ACCIDENT". there is no designing behind windows and microsoft that had said loads of stuff that they wanted to do with windows longhorn were not able to achieve a single feature that they had to abolish the project, making desktop look nice and making looks nice doesnt make an OS the best OS. Windows Vista went down the drain in seconds when experts discarded it because there was nothing that they desired.
as a matter of fact companies and govts are moving towards apple and linux for OS and open office because they are secure, stable and most important are based on a hardcore design.
u can run windows only on a intel based macs. and i dunno y u feel that the system is slow, but i have 2 windows machines with xp and 1 macbook pro with mac osX, to boot windows xp with all the cool stuff loaded and working takes around 3-4 minutes and mac takes about only 1 minute to boot up with all the stuff loading at startup.
and 1 feature that i like the most about mac, i do not have to look around for device drivers, do not need to restart system on any changes and do not have to use ctrl
+alt+del because i havent seen mac hang in over a yr now.

First Apple is a proprietary system, and until Tiger O/S X was a closed system. O/S X is based on Unix . You can run Linux on a Mac now ! Mac has very pretty hardware, nice looking monitors, fancy keyboards. IF you want to spend the money you can build a very fancy PC, and you can use a Mac monitor, or spend the money and get a good LCD. Use Linux as the operating system and you'll have a far superior, more stable, open-source operating system (O/S) that is less prone to viruses than a Mac or a PC that runs Microsoft's various products. Linux provides far more programs and has many more skilled people working on it worldwide than Apple/Mac and Microsoft combined.
Conclusion , you can have any good tech shop custom build a better looking system than a Mac, which will be far more secure, and virtually virus free. Call that a "PC" if you wish.

The Macintosh being better than the PC is a matter of opinion, but reasoning is
-there are fewer viruses and less spyware
-the software is optimized for the hardware, since apple controls the hardware
-you can plug many devices into it and it doesn't have to install drivers, it just works.

Oh my god! replace to mac precise now they are surprising! they are like 20 circumstances swifter ( no longer exaggerating ) and they have equipped in firewalls that look after your workstation from viruses. I had a workstation and it lasted like a 365 days and it changed into sluggish after like 6 months then it crashed after a 365 days. My mac is only as quickly because it changed into even as i purchased it and its only about 2 years previous! Plus you are able to achieve this significantly better on a mac; you are able to record music, take video clips and images with a equipped in webcam, make astounding video clips and elementary its only better positive. domicile windows is only attempting to knock off each thing reliable about mac and that i will inform you they have not carried out a really reliable interest. i could be incredibly unhappy for you in case you saved your workstation or were given a sparkling workstation.
