Mac or PC?

Question

I am a 100% Mac person, you?

Answer 1

Mac's are crap i hate them!!! I am a 100% PC person. I think the opreating system of Mac's are dumb and the controlls and set up of a Mac is completley stupid.
PC's (in my openion) are more advancerd and you can do more with them ( if you know what your doing) i hapen to be a computer person and i understand all that computer mumbo jumbo.
But thats just my openion!!!!

We've got one of each. It's not true that Macs can't get viruses - it's just that no one bothers to write viruses for them.

Not sure which is best, it depends what you want to do I suppose. My PC is subject to the occasional random crash, despite being 8 months old. Some bits of software still don't agree with Vista but obviously the majority of websites and downloadables are designed to work with PCs.

Mac are more reliable, more stable and last for years without screwing up (our current Mac at home is 5 years old and I have one at work which is nearly 3). They seem more logical to find your way around them. But there are still websites that won't work properly on Macs, even using Firefox. Annoying, but down to crap web designers. Macs are great for graphics, you get more power for less RAM etc etc. They are also more expensive, but then you get the quality you pay more. You probably won't be thinking of replacing a Mac after 18 months - you won't need to.

If I could only choose one of them, it would be the Mac.

Answer 3

No. 75% PC person -- easier to use without too much knowledge. Better look!! :)

"mac because you cant get viruses"
^^ This is untrue -- any computer Mac or PC can get a virus, spyware, malware, etc. but pc's are more vulnerable. Macs are generally less of a target, that's why people think macs are better.

Answer 7

Anyone still using windows is a sucker and a fool. Here are 10 reasons, of many others, why:

1.) iPhoto. It is to pictures what iTunes is to music. You start to wonder how the hell anyone uses just subfolders to keep their stuff organized and find what they're looking for.

2.) Delicious Library: Hold a book, dvd, game, or whatever up to your mac's internal web cam so that it can see the UPC. Delicious Library reads the barcode and indexes that item as something you own. Insurance companies recognize delicious libraries as actual ownership inventories in case of fire or theft. If you lend me something, you simply enter you lent it to me and it keeps track of it, even notifying me after a certain amount of time has passed without my returning it.

3.) Quicksilver: do everything from the keyboard. Everything. open programs. rate the song you're listening to. add a series of files to zip and upload to ftp. It learns how you use your computer and builds behaviors based on that for you to use.

4.) "Mounted drives": Everything you insert into your computer is treated like a hard drive. CDs, external hard drives, other machines in the network, iso's and dmg's you download from the internet. It's all treated the same which makes working with them that much easier.

5.) Installing/deleting programs: drag the application icon to your applications folder to install. delete the application from your applications folder to uninstall. with few exceptions, this is all there is.

6.) Time Machine: auto-backups done absurdly well. Attach an external HD to your mac, tell your mac you want to use it as your Time Machine drive and which folders you want it to watch. Any changes made to those folders will be logged for retrieval at any point. Accidentally lose or delete a file? Maybe you saved over it with a new version and you want the old one? Open time machine and see what the folder looked like a week ago, then hit restore. When I went to install Leopard, the new iteration of mac os, i wiped my entire hard drive before installed Leopard. At the end of the install, Leopard said, "Oh, I see you've got a Time Machine drive? Want me to set everthing up again like it was before for you?" Yep. All my files. All my programs. Everything back to how it was, but now with a new OS.

7.) VMware Fusion/Paralles and Bootcamp: Need to run windows for some reason? Use bootcamp to build a windows partition on your HD or tell it to boot from an external hard drive or even your iPod. Rather not have to reboot to get into windows? Use vmware or parallels to run windows in a window.

8.) Expose: The best way I've seen to date for sorting through masses of open windows and finding what you need on your screen. Hard to describe without pictures, so lookit these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expos%C3%A9_(Mac_OS_X)

9.) Dashboard: shows all your "widgets" (which microsoft completely stole and called "gadgets") just by clicking the middle mouse button. Right now my widgets show me all sorts of internet computer info (hard drive space, temperatures, internet traffic, etc), a weather map radar, a random homer quote, a dictionary, five day weather forecast, calculator, a chess puzzle, peer guardian blocked p2p IPs, and a bunch of web design stuff.

10.) Built in apache web server: just turn on the web sharing under preferences and you can start serving web pages from your home computer.
