When I make it Bomb and plan for it to blow up at 10:00 it's going to blow up at 10:00

If I set the coordinates for a missile to hit a State in America, it's going to hit a state in America, not somewhere in Europe. People create Viruses. They have targets. Each system is constructed in different manners for one virus code to effectively hit all OS'.

[Texarmageddon]

@Texarmageddon * is non-existent almost

[Texarmageddon]

I mean seriously if this isn't true why is Linux even lower than Mac in this whole virus scandal? It just so happens Linux sales even lower than Macs and gets even lower records in viruses.

[A135S4656]

I'm both a Mac user and a PC user... In March I got a new MacBook, and I have a Toshiba, a Dell, a 1995 Gateway 2000 PC, and parts of another Dell. I love them both, Mac is super easy and fast and has almost no problems except compatibility, and my PC's are pretty good in the case of programs, designing, compatibility, and mostly gaming. I run Windows Vista Home Basic Pre-installed by Toshiba, it's OK but I wish I at least had something else... and I have Windows 7 on it, it's awesome.

[rts2808]

i got windows 7 ultimate on a acer aspire one and it runs perfectly

[InternetLad]

i think this guy is youtube's largest video troll

[elridero]

well i know this might bring up a lotta people gettin mad at me, but anyway, i used windows me, xp, and then vista and saw 7, but i now use mac. i just found mac to be way easier to understand and so are the programs. and update. and even if mac and pc were 50/50 on the population size, pc would get more, for they have a worse firewall. so, if you really ike gaming, pc, or like i did get paralels, even tho it aint AS good, theres also bootcamp. hope you read this, latr

[coluwyvurne]

@elridero

Mac OS has been running in Windows/PCs longer than Windows has been on a Mac... it's called Hackintosh.

Anyways, I used to be a Mac fanboy, Hackintoshing when I couldn't afford a Mac and buying a Macbook Pro when I had enough... but there's a surge of Mac viruses appearing and I got infected... Macs are easy to use but they're inexperienced with dealing with malware, so. Just a heads up for you to use discretion rather than be like me and think my mac was invincible.

[cube1024]

I use Linux too

[chinh101]

i am a window user, and i hate window 7. i would go back to xp any time. too bad i dont have a legit xp disc.

[dave5708]

"Are you a Windows User, or a Mac user?"

Neither, I use Linux. Gives me total freedom over my system, and lets me be free from the headaches of Windows. Its faster, more efficient, and just works. My distro of choice is Ubuntu. Its fantastically simple to learn how to use, much more so than Windows. Also, its completely free :)

[tomtomwolfwolf]

sure,but can windows's games run on linux?

[dolidoliprane]

LOL, I love the ADIUM application sound at the end of the video!!!

Mac USER forever!

:-D

[dolidoliprane]

WINDOWS 7 = Windows VISTA updated...

That's all... Nothing special... It's a shit.

[Texarmageddon]

OOOO MY TURN. FAil

[Rogers1977]

I am a Mac user. I have experience with Windows and don't really like it. I had to restart often, finding my thumb drive was confusing, and the firewall stuff was annoying.

You can run Windows on a Mac. I heard this and was blown away. Plus, since my dad is a network engineer and Macs have the Unix stuff he works with. Plus, on Windows, you have to install drivers and stuff for cameras and other devices. On Macs, it JUST WORKS. Nothing to install or upgrade. And Macs don't get viruses.

[Texarmageddon]

Macs get viruses. Get over it

[K2ACP]

@Texarmageddon there are only like 10 viruses for macs. mac own 5% of marketshare. windows has tens of thousands of viruses when if macs and windows pcs had equal security, windows should have had only 180 viruses. macs are more secure. deal with it

[Texarmageddon]

@K2ACP And only FOOLS catch viruses.. DEAL WITH IT NOOB.

[K2ACP]

@Texarmageddon well, for my pc, if it wasn't for my antivirus i would've gotten like 50 viruses a shitload, and i'm not a noob, no. i just said that if macs don't get viruses JUST BECAUSE they're a smaller part of marketshare it should have thousands of viruses, but it doesn't

[Texarmageddon]

@K2ACP Am I saying the software sucks? No, but believe me if a person wanted "IN" on your computer they would get it. My 95 on down to win 7 has never had anti-virus as frankly computers practically TELL you something isn't safe. Why attack the smaller share of computers huh? Why don't people understand that the main targets are Windows because they are in 90% percent of most households? Compatibility works both ways for programs and viruses.

[K2ACP]

@Texarmageddon that's because you're lucky, on my PC i downloaded a few what i thought were legit applications, mainly what i thought was a legit VLC download, it was a worm, i could've gotten fucked up. luckily i had antivirus :) but that means i had to shell out a hundred a year for an antivirus (bitdefender in Canada) there is still a threat and i don't care how careful you are, you can still get a virus. if you use Linux, BSD or Macintosh OS, then you don't have that risk.

[skeetskeetbk92]

Macs get viruses. Wow....just wow......you really think that mac CANNOT get a virus? Then, why is the United States government using windows?

[Rogers1977]

When has a mac gotten a virus?

[skeetskeetbk92]

Go on google and search "Do macs get viruses". That will answer your questions. It is possible for a mac to get a virus....

[Rogers1977]

ok. So macs CAN get a virus. But they have never HAD a virus.

[PenguinWalrus0]

They don't get viruses because people don't make viruses for mac. If you were a criminal making viruses, you would make them for the majority of computer users, which use windows. (It's a fact, I'm not bashing mac)

[Rogers1977]

Yeah, I know.  It's because no one has ever taken the time to figure out how to do it.

[coluwyvurne]

@PenguinWalrus0

There's where you're wrong. Apple is encouraging people to get antivirus software for their Macs (albeit these are to prevent spreading to PCs) and 10.6.2 had a virus scanner in it.

Unfortunately, my macbook pro got mac malware which corrupted the kernel. When I posted it on Apple discussion forums, I was banned for creating a prone to being flamed topic, and for trying to cause panic in the Apple community lol. censorship... i hope karma bites them in the ass...

[Rogers1977]

That's a fallacy.  The US government using windows has nothing to do with Macs getting a virus.

[tomtomwolfwolf]

US government uses linux no?

[K2ACP]

@tomtomwolfwolf no, it uses microsoft, the whole world other than the US use linux. china even has it's own government operating system for it's security, it's based on BSD, and it kinda looks like XP (taskbar) the rest of it looks like macintosh

[dannelito7]

i have xp, it is easy to use

[PenguinWalrus0]

I'm a gamer, therefore I use windows, plus, if you're decent with computers, windows is easier to use and more free in my opinion than mac.

[1991cupid]

think about it this way man, windows vista was "in my opinion" a huge BETA release for windows 7, basically i took the cool things form vista and used it in 7 and then found out all it bugs and fixed it in windows 7. end result a good looking operating system that doesn't slow you pc down, crash or have software issues. im using the R/C 7000 beta version of 7 and i have no probs so the full version must be extremely win.

[soliderboy956]

i have windows 7 and its GREAT its the best thing better than all the windows and faster! Mac suck its only for audio and using the internet and crap not much to do on mac so windows 7 is like wayy better than mac much more things to do on windows 7 or windows vista or and types of windows than a mac can do. i only like apple ipods THATS IT i DO NO LIKE A MAC mac sucks only windows are way more popular than a mac i hope this helps =].

[Redout9122]

I converted to Mac OS X on my most recent computer (using it right now) because I wanted to switch to something else that worked, but didn't want to mess with Linux or Ubuntu. Windows just went over bad with me. Each PC I've had has had a crash or a major problem that prevented use of some application. Mac may not be perfect but anything must be better than that.

[TYRANTSofTRANCE]

bigonexeon is right I use a iMac and its true they aren't 100% stable and they CAN get viruses but from a musician and songqriter standpoint there are better, I like Mac also because of the display qualities. The products meant and compatible for Mac are awesome, but programs meant for windows but compatible with Mac like GuitarPro are not so good. This is a big flaw in Apple Technology

[bigonexeon]

basically windows vista is hopeless thats why microsoft are dropping support for it at the end of THIS year windows 7 is far more stable then windows vista windows 7 is real nice i beta tested it from beta 1 its well worth checking out and mac i wouldnt touch with a 10 foot pole reason why mac attacks windows as they KNOW windows have 1 thing mac will never have SUPPORT software and hardware based and macs DO get viruses and arent very stable i work as a database network admin and have for years

[dvskore]

Your shirt is genius!!!

[Usul573]

I have Vista Home Premium, and it seems fine to me.

Got a few features XP didn't have.

I might get Win 7 later, I have a free coupon I think, but for now I'm good.

[AznTakumi]

I'm also grew up on windows but what really pisses me off is how alll the mac commercial just attacks p.c.

Seriously, I believe a computer OS that has commerical

[blackflame843]

Yeah, it really depends on what you do for a living, like if you're a designer, it's actually perfect to have both. But if you're just a casual user, this is where the line is drawn. I myself is capable of using both. I favor the Mac because it's pretty, and works well with programs like photoshop. However, it doesn't really have games for it like that, and when transferring files to a PC you get some "._"file which is not needed. But overall, I'm PC because I like it for all around stuff.

[redwingdog22]

lol when i was watching this vid the mac camercial came on.

[lildude321]

AGREED

[crecemedia]

As a business and branding consultant I rely on my computers to get the jobs done. Answering emails, managing projects, video/image editing, video conferencing, web research and other activity handling business, I really cant afford to waste time on my "business hours" fixing slow computers, updating virus programs, performing regular maintenance, patching bugs, etc.

Windows is a synonym to all of that. As much as people argue, you will never go back to PCs once you have given a Mac a good try.

[jch15223]

Get mac

[lildude321]

HAHA k so the best arguement agains macs are that they're over priced? but than on the other hand... the best arguement against windows is that they suck nuts, get viruses aand slow... I use a mac, at the moment I'm using my 15 year old imac that has OS X installed and its still kickin the shit out of any pc I use :) gettin a new macbook pro soon, I'd rather drop the dollars and get something that actually works :) ps latintaco for you is a fuckin retard

[LatinTaco4u]

@cptdelano

I don't know if ur slow or odd. But most people look at their monitor when they use their computer, and not the PC itself. So u might want to get ur self check up, u could have retardism.

[cptdelano]

its all about design....

so go buy a mac

[djhacker]

window user because mac's are over price base on performance

[ruliarch]

Directors aren't "tech savvy"? David Fincher began his career creating visual effects, and has been a pioneer in ushering in Hollywood's digital revolution. Likewise, James Cameron has his hands on every job involved in movie-making. Think before posting...

[gragona]

Well, If you like Windows 7 you'll like Mac because... Windows stole all of there good ideas from Mac... blatantly so... Mac's still 12 steps ahead of the game here.

[suicidevenue1]

i have a macbook pro, with snow leopard that is as good as it gets, never had any problems.

and i resently got a pc laptop and installed win 7 on it for djing and musicmaking on the road and i have to say, im really impressed, no problems with is so far, everything runs smooth.

[solidgino54]

windows 7 is incredible, it is flawless.

i am a windows user because i don't want want to pay $3k for a pc that I can get for $500. Also, I dont want to become a smug-starbucks-loiterer-with-m­y-laptop-open-drinking-my-doub­le-mocha-frappaccino kind of person.

[tahirjahi]

Thanks you all for your insight. It's greatly appreciated!

[hizman]

I've used Windows since version 2.0 and Macs since its Classic series.

Some of my friends are indeed switching to Macs. Mostly because Macs are great for dummies.

Speaking professionally, Macs are great for designers and musicians. I have a real hard core geek who runs national insurance DB and he switched to a Mac as his home system. But that because MacOS is based on FreeBSD, that is a unix like system.

[hizman]

But Windows is still my choice. I am a translator and there is no professional translation software for Macs.

I have friends in video production. They say Macs are great for simpler projects but best hardware doesn't work with MacOS.

So I totally agree with the author of this video. Why do you use your computer? Are you a dummie? Well, go for a Mac!

But professionals in the areas other than of music, design, and network administration will stick with Windows.

[ruliarch]

You have NO IDEA what you're talking about in terms of video production. Final Cut Pro has grabbed a giant chunk of the professional video production market because THERE'S NO COMPETITION for the money. AVID systems still cost upwards of $60,000-100,000 - and a COMPLETE FCP system can be had for a fraction of that.

Macs are better for "simpler projects" your friends say? Tell that to the Coen Brothers, David Fincher, or any of the other directors that are embracing the technology. Sheesh!

[supr4]

Directors are not tech savy.

[hizman]

true, I am not related to video... perhaps, my friends said so because elaborate solutions are not available in Latvia

[socom36252]

Windows 7 is amazing. from the look to the simplicity to the new features, to the better hardware utilization. Ive been working with PCs for a while now and have always loved them. Windows is for the intelligent Mac is for the novice, people who like mac dont kno what to do with a computer besides what they are told.

[0hm4g3]

windows cuz its not fucking gay balls like mac

[mrbobo86]

I have been using windows 7 since the RC came out. Im using professional x64 now. I freaking love it. Vista wasn't that bad, but there were problems with it. Windows 7 is such a huge improvement.

[yomominbed]

same get x64 its the fuckin shit <3 love win7

[emill151]

i got windows 7 and ive had ti for half a year now and i have had absoloutly NO problems nothing is wrong with its just perfect in my opinion im not saying mac is bad but i dont see the problem with getting windows 7. they have more experience in viruses,problems..etc

[thenamewastaken1]

it is amazing i have been using it since march and it is painful to go back to XP

I am a windows user i like both, but since trying windows 7 i have found it a better more user friendly experience

[gamealcohol]

I use ubuntu linux and windows,and why? Well windows is because of the games,thats it.Linux is better than OS X on security and its tough as OS X because they are both *NIX,and does everything OS X does(but not on the same level,because the apps are open source,and have a long way walking yet).

And its free,not like the extreme expensive mac,or hard to pay windows.

Do you guys know microsoft had a UNIX system before?its called xenix,i dont know why they let it go.

[TsukiSeishin]

Windows FTW :D

[slayerrptl]

I use windows. I have had a mac, and from experiance its more targeted for the.. leisurely artistic things. Where as PC is more of a, programming and gaming.

Not to say im a mac basher, But it seems like mac's OS is more of a "here lets take your hand and walk you through everything, although you cant do as much as quickly as you might want it.." and PC's are more along the lines of:

"you can do tons and tons of shet.. but like hell if im gonna tell you all that, Read the manual."

[willrob27]

I am a systems administrator, so by default I use Microsoft products. This is due entirely to the fact that Mac does not work in an enterprise environment where restrictions, security and networking are key.

For a home user, mac or windows will work fine. For games, I would stick with windows, although more titles are coming out for mac.

Windows 7 is awesome. I've been working with it since beta and so far I think it is great. I don't think its the best for laptops yet though.

[gangstabib]

Its great. I am a Windows User. I love windows. i grew up on windows and still growing up. I will never let go of windows. I promise to windows that I will never choose MAc over Windows, I will never switch. Windows 7 is great, u should get it. It never crashes, i have used till beta, It hasn't crashed for me. There is no BSOD. Its more Reliable and secured. Its faster. The superbar is great. Looks like mac because it has icons but it works way dofferently. U should get windows 7

[DJIainK]

I'm a Mac and Windows user. I prefer Mac because it's based on BSD and is far more reliable than Windows. It's better for video encoding, because video encoding uses the GPU instead of the CPU (only on Mac). It's better for Audio, because the audio stack has far less latency.

Windows 7 is actually pretty good compared to Vista. It runs faster and better on 2Gigs of RAM than Vista ever did. The new start menu is a little bit like whoa that's the dock from OS X, but it works I guess.
