I have a few questions;
A.) Can someone please explain how Bill Gates apparenly stole all Apple's ideas, and how apparently Windows Vista is like Windows version of the current iMac?
B.) How do you feel about the iPhone, which is all touch screen. Now actual keys (except sleep/wake/home).

Apple = Overpriced Paperweight

PC = Innovative with more software support

Hating PC = Apple Users wishing they didn't blow all that money.

Windows is designed with the user in mind, hence their apparent success in the market. Vista reminds me a little of a mix between the Ubuntu version of Linux and Mac rolled into one. The concept of the side bar is not new, I had a old Toshiba 440 that had something along the same lines and the first Packard Hell I had also provided a new menu look. So user freindly drives the software market and designing software should cater to the users. I will not debate who is better because Microsoft has become successful through its GUI platform. I do like UBUNTU which you can download for free of their site. A also like Mac and find that it is geared toward graphics professionals.

Back in the day Jobs and gates were fighting IBM BIG BLUE, they both stole from IBM and Xerox and each other, Mac is for left brain users and PC is for right brain users, Jobs seen his software when he was taking acid, gates was to square to do it so he stole what jobes started, but back then they were all proud to be pirates and stole copied and mixed code from all kinds of companies, BAR NONE! the software industry exploded and gates got a team together to make windows 3.11 and 98 SE was actually supposed to be what XP pro turned out to be but a few years later. Apple is a point and click PCs are hands on get your brain and fingers dirty and mess it up so you know how it works, Well I like that I like learning how it works that's just me. They say apple does not get virus's but it's bull they get them all the time, but windows has 500 to 1 and guess what they are going to hack??? simple the more computers you can screw up that's the one you go after. But with out Uncle Bil Gates PC' would still not be cheep for everyone to buy, so Gates is the ford of computers. Thanks to him many people are able to express themselves cheaply, apple would have kept their prices up to 5000 a piece but gates fixed that . As for the new phone, god not another one easy to break.

A) Microsoft "stole" some ideas of the end user experience for Vista from Mac and Linux. Mostly with the widgets and the program scrolling capabilities.
B) The iPhone looks interesting but it will be expensive to use.

Bill Gates aparrently stole the sidebar (of course...) mainly from the current version of the Mac. I also think the transparency... How? He also was once working for Mac, then he left to form his own company.

The iPhone seems awesome! Touch screens are awesome!!!! It seems worth the money.

don't listen to anyone who says pc is superior to mac.
A) the mac operating system is very pleasing to the eye. it's a lot of useful eye candy. looks just gorgeous. windows picked up on this and saw that apple is taking a good share of their market year after year and is trying to clone the mac look & feel on their systems. this is true for everything in life, you get what you pay for.
B)never used an iphone but would bet my bottom dollar it's worth every penny.

What i understand?.... i will checklist the data. the two Apples and laptop's use a similar varieties of hardware. The processors are a similar, the RAM is an identical, and so on, and so on. the sole real distinction between a Mac and a pc is the working gadget. a pc makes use of homestead windows and a Mac makes use of OS-X. Apple has a settlement with Asus and Foxconn to make their products. especially plenty each and every laptop laptop is made by using 3 ODM agencies nicely-called Clevo, Compal and Quantra. Clevo makes the extremely extreme-end laptops like a Sagar or an Alienware. Compal and Quantra make the extra much less costly low-end and mid-selection laptops for Dell, Gateway/Acer, HP/Compaq, Lenovo. Asus and MSI are the sole agencies that make their very own laptops. You do get extra hardware for the money once you purchase a pc. For $1500 you could the two get a 13" Macbook professional with a twin-middle middle i7 processor, and onboard pictures. For $1500 you will get a 17" Alienware with a quad-middle middle i7 processor, bigger-end pictures. The $1500 Alienware has a swifter processor, swifter hard stress (evaluate a 5400rpm in a Macbook vs. the 7200rpm in an Alienware), the pictures interior the Aleinware are 5 cases swifter, and the demonstrate screen is plenty bigger. The Macbook might in basic terms be reliable in case you could desire to long battery existence. this is open sport in case you're a regular person. in case you in basic terms use your laptop for websurfing, homework, and facebook or perhaps photograph modifying then the two an Apple or a pc is advantageous. in case you're enjoying laptop video games or modifying 3-D animations then save on with a pc. I certainly %. and choose those Mac Vs. laptop questions. many times you get sucked in to the questions by using an Apple fanboy who makes a team of fake claims. like the declare that a Mac in no way breaks down or has a swifter processor. I undergo in strategies seeing a post the place some guy especially plenty wrote an essay approximately Macs being extra suitable because of fact they have a Thunderbolt port. in certainty, that's going to be a pair years formerly something like an exterior stress makes use of that port.
