Im pleased to say that my friend's mac, which he had for three years died last week, and I've been error free on my Windows PC for so long that the machine is underpowered!
@MithranArkanere XP is old. It's a cheap excuse for what Windows fans call a reliable OS. People need to wake up, we live in a new age. Windows XP with it's DX9 and 4GB of RAM isn't going to do anything now. Seriously, stop living in the past. Windows 7 was like putting makeup on a pig. All they did was change the UI, and add more eye candy. They added a couple of new features that were obviously taken from OS X. Windows 7 is Vista with makeup but still has the same shitty file system, DLL HELL!
@MithranArkanere I have learned...plenty. I see no flaws in my comment and I stand by it. Windows XP is reliable but it's not useful nowadays. Win7 has nearly the exact memory management (Which is pretty much why they require the same specs to run) as Vista. Windows has the same shitty file system, exposed DLL's all over the place that require frequent defrags. Uninstalling programs leaves leftover DLL and registry keys that require more software to keep Windows clean. How am I wrong again?
@NGUpremier i lol at your arrogance, you do realize that dx can be updated?and that every driver that comes out is coded for xp as well? and that 4g of ram is good? unless your running a server of course, but do you still realize that you can also upgrade ram in pcs? WOW, lets see you crack open a mac and pop in a few sticks of ram. Win7 is soooo much like vista because win7 IS based off of vista, its just more gamer/coder friendly.
@thoriume You my friend know nothing about what you are talking about. XP does not run on DX10 or 11, only DX9. YOU CANNOT UPDATE PAST THAT. XP ONLY SUPPORTS 4GB OF RAM. YOU CANNOT UPGRADE PAST THAT ON A 32-bit operating system. Yes, there is a x64 XP, but it's not common. By the way, it's way easier to destroy a PC in one line of code as well, not to mention that your entire OS's files are put right in front of your eyes in your C drive. Take a look: C:\Windows\System32. Invisible?...
@NGUpremier also whilst vista is more like any mac OS, keeping files hidden and not allowing access to the deep layers of your computer. You can also destroy a mac in ONE line of code, did you know that? i doubt it.
@RandomMrAsian Oh please, whats so great about 7? Still looks and feels the same shitty way as xp did, except now you can actually use it. Congrats PC users... you got an OS that runs.
The whole point of getting a Mac is exactly that: You do NOT have to MAINTAIN your machine. A Mac runs without all the rubbish or hassle. (Yes, I had PCs for years, never going back!)
@TheDude1859 agreed. I switched to Mac last year and it just works. Lets you get on with doing what you want/need to do while the machine takes care of itself.
@LimburgerVinny We can make some kind of club for Mac users and their Beach Ball of Death (freezing Mac), their fatal error Black Screen (like bluescreen) or just windows closing them selfs without a reason. Yes, its much more than on windows...
@t1czer Never once experienced any of the issues you mention. I hope you're not judging based on Macs used publicly in schools which aren't well maintained and looked after.
Mac - Easy to Maintain- Easy Buttons. Oh wait buts its Over Priced ??? Who would buy 3000$ computer??? IDK retards.. people who can't use a pc are retards and get ripped off by mac
@spiffy72985 hey, the Mac I bought was a second hand PowerBook G4 17-inch ok, and I got it for only 270 SGD. Don't fucking insult me you prick, and make sure you do not mistake me for a kid, can a kid assemble his own PC? No, but I did it before ( it broke easily because of the Core 2 Quad in it unstable).
Oh , my parents still use a PC and refuses to switch.
@86123maxxi dude the core2 architecture is one of the most stable ones in the world and the core 2 quad was renown for being able to overclock massively so you clearly did something wrong when building it. And as for can a kid assemble his own pc? i did aged 13 and i suspect i could get my 8 year old sister to if i gave her proper instruction. it is not difficult. Most computer problems are caused by the fleshy bit between the chair and keyboard.
Well I am pleased to say I have been error free for nearly 4 years. Yeah baby MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH! This PC has been running for 42 days 12 hours 10 minutes and 52 seconds
Why i switched to a Mac, it's simple, i didnt want to control alt delete almost all the time just to end explorer.exe when it freezes up during even opening a file T.T and Macs have games too you know, COD 4,5,6 , MOH 2010 , WoW and even Starcraft!
I am a 13 year old kid who switched to a Mac because I JUST CANT STAND PC'S ANYMORE! with a Mac, i take 1 hour to finish my Internet homework, but with a PC, i take 2 or 3 hours because of the constant hanging...
Oh shut up, kid. YOU didn't switch anything. Mommy and Daddy switched for you. You don't even remember the start of the past decade. Don't pretend like you know jack shit about computers. You likely cocked something up yourself and convinced mommy and daddy it was big, bad PCs fault.
@JonBj2 Or also people who aren't Sadist and don't really look forward to blue screens.
Honestly there's no fight between PC and Mac. If you like to do videos, music or photo editing get a Mac. If you like Games and Programming and other things get a PC.
@ellumic Not really. Nowadays a Mac can do pretty much everything a Windows PC can (not to mention a Mac can run Windows natively anyway). It's more about the experience. I prefer the Mac experience since switching last year. Many people don't and therefore have no reason to switch.
@JonBj2 Macs are for people who want Macs, Windows PCs are for people who want Windows PCs. Also, you shouldn't have to "Maintain" your OS/computer. It should just work. Considering, on the whole, OSX does that, I don't see how it's a bad thing :s. I'm a Mac user and I use both OSX AND Windows. Though nowadays I only find Windows useful for gaming.
@j800r I have tried many versions of Mac OS and have owned many versions of windows and I just don't find macs that useful, for any good software on a mac there is usually a PC counterpart, often a free one (and in some cases there are many PC counterparts).
I use Windows 7 and linux, because I find windows 7 best for gaming and programming and I use linux for school.
@j800r Well, I can't really name any because there isn't any software exclusively for the mac that I have any interest in so I haven't really searched for any for Windows.
But it's only logical that Windows, an OS with hundreds of thousands of developers working on software for it will have a lot of quality software to choose from.
@JonBj2 again, i asked for a Windows software, not an Android app. and there are plenty of iOS apps that enable you to control your Mac remotely. I can't name them as i don't own an iOS device but i've seen videos on them before.
@j800r it's not only an android app, it has a server program on the PC, but that's all of my non game related software, unless those count I have nothing else to say, but in the end it's just about user preference.
@JonBj2 LOL I had a windows hardware related problem... I want to maintain a windows pc and know how to, but they have 5 times the rate of problems than a mac, and after my 5th time I formatted Windows, I go to mac. I have both mac and windows and both are great, winows for gaming and programing and mac for artists. :D
BTW once you go to mac... you never go back :) LOL
@t1czer You can't steal code that's open source. They based their own kernel, Darwin, off FreeBSD and then customised it adding their own touches and doing their own things. Mac OSX is Unix based, but it's not Unix like BSD is.
@JonBj2 yes you have so shut up and windows is for lazy ass pussys who don't know how to use a computer a mac is for the smart ppl that arnt pussy's like you
@JonBj2 I find that hard to belive. You mean you've never had to restart the computer due to an application hang, a program has never stopped responding, you've never been missing any .dll files, you've never used Ctrl-Alt-Delete, you've never got any kind of trojan, malware, virus.
@Xaeleep I've never had a malware or trojan since I got my own computer, of course I have had some minor viruses but those are not even noticable.
I've never had a missing .dll file and never had to restart the computer for any reason.
I have also sometimes had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and a program has stopped responding but that's only happened when I'm using poor quality 3rd party software or starting a cracked game for the first time and then had to adjust some stuff to make it work.
@iopabc123789 LOL at that! I only paid $523 for a Compaq Presario CQ56.
I stand firm, NOT ONE ERROR! I've had it for 10 months, and before I had a Older Acer Aspire 3500 (got it when it first came out) $620, Ran WinXP really well. NO ERROR IN THE 6-7 YEARS I HAD IT!
@MyWolfish Oh really? Then what about the loads of trial software? Its impossible to have NO errors unless all you do is browse web pages and play games from a disk, and even then, errors. I have trouble running a minecraft server, yes, at the max that takes 1gb ram, but noo, again, error galore. Ive never had trouble with a mac doing the same thing.
I'm sorry, but I need to watch PC users like you to see how they could fuck up a Windows PC and get errors.
I've built my PC and since then been upgrading for 4 years with use in all sorts of ways(Video editing, web browsing, gaming from Steam, C++ programming, etc.). I have primarily owned a PC and never had an error(unless I did something stupid).
Trial software? My computer didn't come with any, but you can delete in in like 2 seconds no problem.
@iopabc123789 I won't say anything about the MC server (It's hard to get going when you're not allowed to touch the router for port-forward). What trial software, I get mine Empty Hard Drive and Install Disc. and I run Defragmenter, and Virus Scans While I sleep, never notice any difference. Because I take care of the software, not just roam the net looking for new shit that i don't need.
@MyWolfish Actually, the only reason im running a minecraft server is that I have portforwarded and all that jazz, including ip redirects. Install a vista cd, enjoy your new trial software for norton or whatever the hell they have these days.
@iopabc123789 That is the only thing, I tell everyone not to get vista, Get Win7 or better WinXP. Just like my Mac-User friend tells Mac-Users not to get Lion, Get Snow Leopard. Same deal.
@iopabc123789 I want to say as a developer for windows since june 6th, 2004, and as a microsoft MVP(twice), also as an apple developer for about 14 months, someone who ownes a $12,000 linux srerver, a 3,600 MacBook Pro, and a few 2,000+ PC's I would like to say that your general argument is invalid, I would also like to be thge one to state that it is not a battle between windows and Apple, it is OEM and Macintosh
@mandoza3 computer division, and I would also like to state more/less & equal to, than apple and IBM wrote windows XP, and argueing that the same company that wrote both is absolutly bulllox, I would also like to be he one to tell you that microsoft wrote the code for the apple operating system for 26 years! I would agree more on the side of wolf when he says that his computer does not have errors as he probably knows how to use a computer
@mandoza3 The simple fact of it is that you are arguing more over a simple opinion rather than facts, as someone who has worked with PC and mac they both suck!! You are saying one is better than the other you are an un-intelegent fool who knows nothing about the industry, I just want to conclude that the only the hardware matters, for apple it is laptops for OEM it would be apple as well... build your own and it is cheaper and better!
@mandoza3 Same thing. Ive had a computer for 14+ years, Ive used mac very little compared to my time with windows. And as a semi-casual coder + gamer mac has just turned out easier for me.
@iopabc123789 "semi-casual" basically means you haven't gone far into the coding yet, I who codes java, C# and BASIC Know that the OS has little to do with the coding, sure Mac and Linux already has the software, but Mac, Windows and Linux all code the same, It all relies on the coder, Therefore only an idiot gives credit to one OS when they are both influenced by each other as stated by Mandoza3.
@iopabc123789 First of all, You gotta learn the programming language. second, woo 1 minute for full set up for C#, Java and BASIC setup, 100% free too. see it all comes down to preference of OS.
@iopabc123789 I can see that he wolfish reads all of what I write, I am going to make a comment to you instead, I would disagree with what wolfish said, as a developer with each operating system for a long time, I would like to point out that the windows is better for codeing then the mac!
@JonBj2 I'm sorry, but unless you've only been using PCs for the past couple of years I find that very hard to believe. You're bound to encounter an issue eventually. Knowing what you're doing just means you can resolve the issue in seconds and hopefully be back to normal. Also, Macs can run Windows natively so your point is irrelevant.
@JonBj2 the genius to mac is that you don't have to be a genius to use..The genius to windows is that you have common sense to know how to maintain a computer. :) windows is simple.
@Drakkarkyu2 And what? Finder magically works by itself without any dependencies? I think not.
Your point?
You don't need to go through that menu. Many programs install shortcuts on the desktop by default (If they don't, drag one to the Super Bar or copy a shortcut onto the desktop yourself), and if you wanna look something up (Open a program not on the Super Bar or the desktop), all you gotta do is use the search function.
I fail to see how this is too taxing or too difficult to do.
Do you know the meaning of the word SIMPLE??? You don´t know!
Do you need make Shortcuts for access to programs, files, file manager or whatever else? Do you have a 900 inch monitor with 10000 Mpx resolution? Do you know how to work the windows shortcuts??? And the nature of this piece of crap???
Its a very different concept than ALIAS(MAC OS X, UNIX, LINUX) or SHADOWS (OS/2 WARP)
Because Windows ISNT AN OBJECT ORIENTED OPERATING SYSTEM, its a simple PIECE OF CRAP!!!
@Drakkarkyu2 What do you think those things are on the dock in OS X? Shortcuts! Not all Apps are given shortcuts there either, so you have to drag some apps to it in order to make one. That sounds extremely simple to me. Only an artard would throw a fit over having to (Occasionally) drag an icon to the dock/Super Bar.
Not really that different.
Lolwhat? Not an object oriented operating system? What do you call icons? What do you call everything in it that you manipulate with a mouse cursor?
@Titanz91 You are very confused about OOOS and pseudo OOOS. Windows IS NOT an Object Oriented Operating System. Simple test. Click with rbutton over a folder. Try to change icon, or put a comment, or program a voice order, or ... many things! OS/2 IS AN OBJECT ORIENTED OPERATING SYSTEM. Same for NextStep (father of Mac OS X), Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X. Windows NOT!!!
window 7. watcha gotta say about that apple? except telling people switch to a mac, because you know there's nothing shitty for you to say about win7, huh?
@sorakey899 XP was the shit, even as old as it is (9 years old) to compare it to apple's operating system at the time, Puma witch is also 9 years old, today witch one of those is low quality? even if you say xp, then which one can CURRENTLY do more? BILL GATES SAID IT RIGHT, "IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT APPLE HAS BETTER STUFF" we still rule the computer market share, and apple doesn't
@julianbell90 I'm not going to stoop so low to have to use all caps to get my point across, so here it is: You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. It doesn't matter which OS sold more, it's a matter of your needs and your opinion, you fucking retard.
@Roxydog245 at least you ain't one of them PC fanboys who get all butthurt at the ads. Microsoft have done the same thing. Maybe not to the same extent but OSX never had a release like Vista. Vista was plagued with problems for many people and Apple capitalized on that. Also, you have to think, Windows is pre-installed on EVERY PC out there. You don't need to advertise as much when you have an unfair monopoly.
Well I'm pleased to say I've been nearly Error Free For A Week....Well I'm pleased to say I've been nearly Error Free For A Week....Well I'm pleased to say I've been nearly Error Free For A Week....Well I'm pleased to say I've been nearly Error Free For A Week....

@1209120912 what about it?
JonBj2 1 year ago
@JonBj2 LOL I had a windows hardware related problem... I want to maintain a windows pc and know how to, but they have 5 times the rate of problems than a mac, and after my 5th time I formatted Windows, I go to mac. I have both mac and windows and both are great, winows for gaming and programing and mac for artists. :D
BTW once you go to mac... you never go back :) LOL

@JonBj2 Thats why Mac are built (Their OS) better :)

@FunnyV1d30s What is why you think they built their OS better?

@FunnyV1d30s Hmm.. They stole almost all of the code from FreeBSD... its Unix, not Mac OS.

@t1czer You can't steal code that's open source. They based their own kernel, Darwin, off FreeBSD and then customised it adding their own touches and doing their own things. Mac OSX is Unix based, but it's not Unix like BSD is.

@JonBj2 yes you have so shut up and windows is for lazy ass pussys who don't know how to use a computer a mac is for the smart ppl that arnt pussy's like you

@The1hamburgler I don't know if troll or just very stupid.
I'll reply nonetheless.
Macs are obviously better for those who are lazy, there are fewer viruses, fewer things you can break etc.
And again, Macs are obviously better for pussies because there's a smaller chance of viruses.
Most Mac users will probably agree to that.
Windows is also more complicated, Macs are designed to be simple (too simple imo).
Also, there's nothing for me on Macs, I use Linux for everyday stuff and PC for games.

@JonBj2 I find that hard to belive. You mean you've never had to restart the computer due to an application hang, a program has never stopped responding, you've never been missing any .dll files, you've never used Ctrl-Alt-Delete, you've never got any kind of trojan, malware, virus.
With all due respect, i don't belive you.
Xaeleep 6 months ago
@Xaeleep I've never had a malware or trojan since I got my own computer, of course I have had some minor viruses but those are not even noticable.
I've never had a missing .dll file and never had to restart the computer for any reason.
I have also sometimes had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete, and a program has stopped responding but that's only happened when I'm using poor quality 3rd party software or starting a cracked game for the first time and then had to adjust some stuff to make it work.

@MyWolfish That just means you have a pc worth more then $1000 anyways.
Otherwise its error galore.
Why macs are better: Because pcs suck.
iopabc123789 5 months ago
@iopabc123789 LOL at that! I only paid $523 for a Compaq Presario CQ56.
I stand firm, NOT ONE ERROR! I've had it for 10 months, and before I had a Older Acer Aspire 3500 (got it when it first came out) $620, Ran WinXP really well. NO ERROR IN THE 6-7 YEARS I HAD IT!
MyWolfish 5 months ago
@MyWolfish Oh really? Then what about the loads of trial software? Its impossible to have NO errors unless all you do is browse web pages and play games from a disk, and even then, errors. I have trouble running a minecraft server, yes, at the max that takes 1gb ram, but noo, again, error galore. Ive never had trouble with a mac doing the same thing.
iopabc123789 5 months ago
@iopabc123789 Are you that fucking stupid?
I'm sorry, but I need to watch PC users like you to see how they could fuck up a Windows PC and get errors.
I've built my PC and since then been upgrading for 4 years with use in all sorts of ways(Video editing, web browsing, gaming from Steam, C++ programming, etc.). I have primarily owned a PC and never had an error(unless I did something stupid).
Trial software? My computer didn't come with any, but you can delete in in like 2 seconds no problem.

@iopabc123789 I won't say anything about the MC server (It's hard to get going when you're not allowed to touch the router for port-forward). What trial software, I get mine Empty Hard Drive and Install Disc. and I run Defragmenter, and Virus Scans While I sleep, never notice any difference. Because I take care of the software, not just roam the net looking for new shit that i don't need.
MyWolfish 5 months ago
@MyWolfish Actually, the only reason im running a minecraft server is that I have portforwarded and all that jazz, including ip redirects. Install a vista cd, enjoy your new trial software for norton or whatever the hell they have these days.

@mandoza3 computer division, and I would also like to state more/less & equal to, than apple and IBM wrote windows XP, and argueing that the same company that wrote both is absolutly bulllox, I would also like to be he one to tell you that microsoft wrote the code for the apple operating system for 26 years! I would agree more on the side of wolf when he says that his computer does not have errors as he probably knows how to use a computer
mandoza3 5 months ago
@mandoza3 The simple fact of it is that you are arguing more over a simple opinion rather than facts, as someone who has worked with PC and mac they both suck!! You are saying one is better than the other you are an un-intelegent fool who knows nothing about the industry, I just want to conclude that the only the hardware matters, for apple it is laptops for OEM it would be apple as well... build your own and it is cheaper and better!

@mandoza3 also I would like to say that next time you should be more civil in the comments you write and not give a negative bias, just facts!

mandoza3 5 months ago
@mandoza3 Same thing. Ive had a computer for 14+ years, Ive used mac very little compared to my time with windows. And as a semi-casual coder + gamer mac has just turned out easier for me.
iopabc123789 5 months ago
@iopabc123789 "semi-casual" basically means you haven't gone far into the coding yet, I who codes java, C# and BASIC Know that the OS has little to do with the coding, sure Mac and Linux already has the software, but Mac, Windows and Linux all code the same, It all relies on the coder, Therefore only an idiot gives credit to one OS when they are both influenced by each other as stated by Mandoza3.
MyWolfish 5 months ago
@MyWolfish Only I can take mac up and start coding right away and windows I have to download multiple third party programs.

@iopabc123789 First of all, You gotta learn the programming language. second, woo 1 minute for full set up for C#, Java and BASIC setup, 100% free too. see it all comes down to preference of OS.
MyWolfish 5 months ago
@iopabc123789 I can see that he wolfish reads all of what I write, I am going to make a comment to you instead, I would disagree with what wolfish said, as a developer with each operating system for a long time, I would like to point out that the windows is better for codeing then the mac!
mandoza3 5 months ago
@mandoza3 Coding* and that comes down to preference, you have been coding for a long time, but for casual people, mac is better (me)

@JonBj2 I'm sorry, but unless you've only been using PCs for the past couple of years I find that very hard to believe. You're bound to encounter an issue eventually. Knowing what you're doing just means you can resolve the issue in seconds and hopefully be back to normal. Also, Macs can run Windows natively so your point is irrelevant.

Titanz91 3 months ago
@Titanz91 In first place, explorer.exe only, not functioning. Its depends for DLL´s files. Its a shame!
In second, and most important, since windows 3.0 explorer.exe only its the shell executable!
But, if you want to manage files, folders, shortcuts, etc, YOU NEED : START BUTTON-PROGRAMS-ACCESORIES-EXPLORER!!! Just TRY IT!!! AND WILL SEE!!!
Drakkarkyu2 3 months ago
@Drakkarkyu2 And what? Finder magically works by itself without any dependencies? I think not.
Your point?
You don't need to go through that menu. Many programs install shortcuts on the desktop by default (If they don't, drag one to the Super Bar or copy a shortcut onto the desktop yourself), and if you wanna look something up (Open a program not on the Super Bar or the desktop), all you gotta do is use the search function.
I fail to see how this is too taxing or too difficult to do.
Titanz91 3 months ago
Do you know the meaning of the word SIMPLE??? You don´t know!
Do you need make Shortcuts for access to programs, files, file manager or whatever else? Do you have a 900 inch monitor with 10000 Mpx resolution? Do you know how to work the windows shortcuts??? And the nature of this piece of crap???
Its a very different concept than ALIAS(MAC OS X, UNIX, LINUX) or SHADOWS (OS/2 WARP)
Because Windows ISNT AN OBJECT ORIENTED OPERATING SYSTEM, its a simple PIECE OF CRAP!!!
Drakkarkyu2 3 months ago
@Drakkarkyu2 What do you think those things are on the dock in OS X? Shortcuts! Not all Apps are given shortcuts there either, so you have to drag some apps to it in order to make one. That sounds extremely simple to me. Only an artard would throw a fit over having to (Occasionally) drag an icon to the dock/Super Bar.
Not really that different.
Lolwhat? Not an object oriented operating system? What do you call icons? What do you call everything in it that you manipulate with a mouse cursor?
Titanz91 3 months ago
@Titanz91 You are very confused about OOOS and pseudo OOOS. Windows IS NOT an Object Oriented Operating System. Simple test. Click with rbutton over a folder. Try to change icon, or put a comment, or program a voice order, or ... many things! OS/2 IS AN OBJECT ORIENTED OPERATING SYSTEM. Same for NextStep (father of Mac OS X), Linux, UNIX, Mac OS X. Windows NOT!!!

@Roxydog245 at least you ain't one of them PC fanboys who get all butthurt at the ads. Microsoft have done the same thing. Maybe not to the same extent but OSX never had a release like Vista. Vista was plagued with problems for many people and Apple capitalized on that. Also, you have to think, Windows is pre-installed on EVERY PC out there. You don't need to advertise as much when you have an unfair monopoly.
