  • I agree with your opinion, I may not be able to afford a Mac or iPhone, but I do agree that macs are cooler...

  • They probably called it the "Mac Store"because it would be considered advertising if they called it the "Apple Store"

  • I have a a iMac 27" and I'm loving it, so stuff you haters and David I love your videos and yes, I do want to be a graphic designer =)

  • Hey David Can You Do A Video About Your iPhone Apps Review And You Look Handsome =)

  • yes david i would rather be a mack person but i dont see how u aford ur mack proand stuf i i would love to have one but i can only aford microsoft

  • hey i am a real person and i use a mac! After 3 years this fucking "shitbox-made in china" crashed on me for the first time....It crashes constantly now and lots of people have the same problem with their macs. I use fan control to avoid the freezing but this only works sometimes. I can't watch a movie without restart my imac several times. I'm so dissapointed in apple...this was my first mac and it will be definitely my last one.

  • Hey dude remember the Mac vs PC adverts. They were very childish, very silly.

  • david is awesome so stfu haters

  • It aint an apple store if they don't sell Apples ;3

  • Macs ARE overpriced, No one has money to spend over a grand on a freaking computer, Plus Macs suck pretty bad, *PC GAMER*, I mean yeah sure, if all you do is listen to music and crap but if you wanna game, get a PC, I got a Lenovo G550 for 450-500$, MUCH cheaper than a mac and MUCH better.

  • @EmmaAnime96 It's probably not better, but it sounds OK. Only thing PC can do better is game, which is fun but unless your a game developer is unproductive..

  • Macs are not over priced. There quality computers and so are all of thier products.

  • @FreeForAllGamerz No Actually a Core2Quad 4GB Ram, running Windows 7.

  • your looking at the ad wrong

  • Well it's right, customers prefer to buy Windows Pc's because they are cheaper and are made out for Windows to be easier.. Also to point out that these laptops/PC's are not Microsofts, they are other companies who licence the OS off Microsoft. With Apple, I do like the design of there computers, they get everything tidied up all neat. They take pride in making there computers. The reason for my switching, is I am not liking where Windows is going or how slow the OS is even with high end parts.

  • @henrymgray slow

    how old is your pc

    windows vista?

  • @ZeroCause2 wow really? How much does your life suck to be getting angry over an OBJECT!

  • Okay let me help you mother fuckering apple fanboys out... You fags are saying macs are better then pc because macs dont get viruses... U guys are aware that pc's usually come with a type of built in antivirus......

  • DAVID UR A DICK SOME TIMES NOW FUCKING LOOK AT THESE 20+ ADS APPLE HAS MADE TAKING THE PISS OUT OF PC AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS AND BTW METAL = ELECTROCUTION SO DAVID STOP BEING A PRICK WINDOWS FTWWWWWWWWWWWWW

  • nice hat

  • I'm a pc user. I want a Mac. PC's legitimately suck. Macs have less of a chance to get a virus

  • @clifgreen182 You won't get a virus if you don't click on bullshit links

  • 2009 my mistake. Point is still valid though

  • I'm seeing all these comments that are in 2010 and 2011 this video was made in 2008. So that means that people that are saying they got these windows computers that are metal and other things can't really compare that to this. Computers and technology are getting cheaper and cheaper in this day and age. Windows vs Mac comes down to personal preference the same as intel vs amd both have advantages and disadvantages.

  • Hey buddy my Dell is all metal and it was only $539.99 when I got it and it just as powerful or more powerful then the new macbook's (pro/air). Yes you can get a more powerful computer at a lower price with windows, but you dont have the greatness of a mac os. I am going both ways with it and think if you want gaming and just internet use, then use windows, but more creative things like music editing, video editing etc. use mac.... but sometimes people just cant afford mac.

  • You're such a fucking goober. Wasted my life.

  • @djdestroyer I wasted your life? If your life consists of a video that's less than seven minutes long, then you were lifeless to begin with. Don't blame me for your insecurities.

  • @thecreativeone You made poorly structured arguments that were executed in an uninformed manner. Even if it's simply your opinion, you still have to back it up with legitimate claims. Plain and simple, the "Laptop Hunter" advertising campaign was a success; both with critics and with relevant market indicators (such as market share, brand recall, brand awareness, value, and product repositioning).

  • with a metal computer, you also have a better chance of electricution thumbs up Windows users!

  • I got a shock to my heart when they said mac store

  • 2 things: the people who like windows are the ones that are envious of mac users because macs cost more 2. David i agree with everything in this video, you have great views

  • I like the apple store I hate windows I want a mac from the apple store but my mum says she won't pay for something I might brake what do you think are they really worth $2000 ? I really want one I want to get away from my shitty toshiba laptop and David you are right the outer casing is plastic and miss

    Has already cracked and I have had it for 3 months now and the keyboard has broke most of the letters have came of and I have phoned the company complaning of the quality of the computers I thi

  • I had my apple computer fixed buy apple and it took one week I used a window computer for that week I almost died

  • It's so stupid best buy sells apple computers to

  • hey david at least its not a math debate!!!

  • i agree that the macs are overpriced, but the pc ad is selfish, i like both devices!

  • their are almost no games for mac, end of story :) although im a mac user :P its the truth :)

  • i cant afford to be a mac person so i'm sad

  • For clarity sake, the irc client in question is X-Chat.

  • I use Linux =Ubuntu 9.10 because all the software is FREE. My Ubuntu does EVERYTHING a Window$ machine does.

    MicroSoft has MS Paint for handling images. Ubuntu has Gimp which is a non-crippled suite, comparable to Corel Draw.

    For an irc client, Microsoft offers Mirc chat, you have to pay $25 to register it. Ubuntu has Mirc and it's FREE, also you can get many other irc clients.

    I would like a Mac, but the price is quite high for me. When I discovered Linux, it's fun and FREE to use.

  • LINUX has cooler software because all (99.9%) of it's FREE.

  • It's The Apple Store Not the Mac Store , lol !

  • Oh, you bought a HP? have fun cooking your desk, and eventually your hard drive.

  • I don't know about the mac and apple store. Its easier when people say a 1 syllable word than a 2 syllable

  • well what i think Microsoft computers are better then apple computers but apple laptops (macs) are better then a Microsoft laptop

  • mac store sounds better

  • HAHAHA...Look at those ugly pieces of plastic PUKE..C'mon Lauren, you know you had to buy another one of those pieces of garbage a year later...

  • Immature reasons, so I disagree with you at some point.

    However I am also disgusted with that MS add. I mean, it's just targeting Apple's Mac outright. Who gives a damn about prices. You can't buy it, then don't. It's not an issue about being cool or shit and MS focusing on that is disgusting.

  • "This seems childish and immature" ... Are you serious? The Mac Ads have got to be the most immature adverts I have ever seen.

  • OK guys, you might think calling the Apple Store, the Mac Store isn't such a big idea, but it is. MS purposely did this to sever the connection between the iPod and the Mac. Again MS is trying to force people to believing that Macs are only for leet, cool people, which regular people will never be. AKA "You're not worthy of a Mac, so buy a PC for us, uncool people." Yes, apple hired actors for their ads, but MS is misleading people into telling them that these are random people when they're not

  • PC's are cheap? What? Cheap plastic? PC's are flexible, you can choose any material of your pc, plastic, aluminium, platinum, whatever! You can choose any filling of your pc, starting with cooling system of your graphics card and ending with the CPU type. Stop being narrow-minded. And I agree with @UrghNoNames. You obviously have no idea.

  • Ur really clueless arent you? When does apple ever advertise with real people? Oh, Justin Long? The guy from Alvin and the chipmunks? Yea he's definitely not an actor. And why would I need aluminum on my laptop. It's just a gimmick from apple to attract people like you who have no idea what theyre looking for. Sure aluminum would be more durable against a chainsaw but that's never going to happen. Cooler software, cooler this cooler that. Why is it cooler? U obviously have no idea.

  • It's a mac store :D

    The stereotype is there. Childish and immature? Well, I've been exposed a lot of mac users and they redefine those two terms. Please, don't feel offended, but don't have a cow over this ad.

    Apple makes a huge margin when for everything they sell, and most of their offering is hardware that is hopelessly outdated and rudely overpriced. For crying out loud, they still sell C2D computers for insane about of money. about $1000 for a MacBook with C2D?!? What am I missing here?

  • I'm with you dude! I love my MBP. PCS are so cheap!

  • 03:54 In case you haven't noticed, "apple" as you want it to be called, use actors as well to promote their computers, and not just low rank actors but hollywood stars category. Now, weather is called the apple or mac store, who gives a damn, it's not your company nor it's mine, just like I don't care weather they call it the Microsoft store or the windows shop, who cares, the point is that people know what the heck they sell in the store. And last, most laptops suck, so I built my towers.

  • You get what you pay for. that's why i have an alienware tower.

  • @gabrielcrimson You propably also got ripped off big time. Buy all the same parts separate next time and save yourself some money. Also have fun building it. (not so fun if you screw up, but a tech savvy friend could prevent that).

  • If she isn't cool enough to be a mac person, she isn't cool enough to own a computer!

  • I thoughr Apple was a computer produce by Mac

  • Childish and immature? And those Mac Vs PC ones aren't childish and immature? Double standard there, don't you think?

  • Hehe god you freaking out by calling mac store but the old man there walks only 5 meters in the moment when the actors go in and out again is not raging you?!

  • lol im going to the mac store just playing

  • David, I'm not going to lie I miss videos like this where you just sit in front of a camera and talk about current topics.

  • What if youre mac breaks and you have no money to buy a mac and have to settle for something less

  • Well I can get a good laptop for under $400 at walmart so commercials have a point

  • You act like aluminum is some hard to obtain, expensive metal.

  • @marcusjhung Then why don't other companies take advantage of it? That's the point of my argument.

  • @thecreativeone well whats the point of having that other than for aesthetics?(unless dropping your laptop and having it shatter into a thousand pieces is a big issue but at least in my experience and with in my friends its not even an issue) the "get what you pay for" applies for both pcs and macs. and the whole " you can do cooler things on a mac"...with the right tools you can do just about anything on either platform

  • @thecreativeone Because most of the PC community is either A) Enterprise based and the look of their machine is irrelevant, or B) Not into the plain mac look (and the brushed aluminium IS plain), or C) Enthusiasts that think macs all look and same, therefore they buy awesome full tower cases, and mod them to what THEY want. You can BUY brushed aluminium cases. Problem is, PC users don't want to.

  • @thecreativeone because aluminum is not per se the best material for laptop computers. In comparison to high tech plastic composites it's fairly heavy and way too sturdy for laptops. It might seem obvious to use aluminum, but it is not!

  • @marcusjhung it was in the beginning the first block was heavily guarded. when they showcased it for the first time.

  • @marcusjhung It's its not hard to obtain, then why don't PCs use it. You can hold a Macbook Pro at the tip of the corner. You can't do that with a PC.

  • i'm a mac user and i'm supercool. the cliché fits.

  • 4:05

    That's about as logical as saying "THE PEOPLE IN THE MAC ADS AREN'T REAL COMPUTERS!!"

  • so the only plus side to buying a mac that you mentioned in this video was just because they have metal casings? You payed an extra several hundred dollars for a computer just because more of its parts were metal?

    Did you buy it because you thought it was durable or was it because it looked shiny and your simple mind is attracted to shiny things?

  • @DiahRhiaJones Exactly, ...Shiinyyyy~Well y'know what? My PLASTIC PC keys are SHINY too ;3

  • No really, you get much older hardware with X dollars on a mac than on a Windows machine, and I'm not even talking about custom built Windows systems yet. 

  • you cant do cooler things with the mac because the mac cant do things a pc cant do.

  • just hope oneyNG and his fellows never notice your channel.

  • mac books r lighter

    design is more smooth i have macbook (white) sweet!!!

  • @SONNYSAPRANO mostly i would say less applications.

  • MACS ARE AWESOME!!!!!!

  • 2:52, so let me get this straight. Apple throws insults at P.C non-stop with an ENTIRE marketing campaign (not just one commercial) that makes P.C users look like Idiotic nerds (which is sterotyping), then P.C comes back with1 or 2 ads attacking Apple, and you blow up over stereotyping ? Kinda makes you wonder how P.C's felt during that entire campaign of yours, eh ?

  • @TheScarecrowField Wouldn't you trust a computer nerd to know computers anyway? I never got that. Would you want a hipster fixing your computer or an MIT geek?

  • @Roq999 Personally I would want a nerd working on mine, and the real hilarious part is their "Genius bar" which could just as easily be called the "computer Geek bar". Apple is just as much and not at all a nerd as P.C. @ Mac they are all about the shallow when it comes to marketing and advertising, they stick their employees in a pair of pants and a T-shirt instead of a suit and tie, that doesn't mean anything really, but to most of their weak minded consumers that makes a world of difference.

  • @TheScarecrowField YOU ARE FUCKING RIGHT!

    i have i question david.....

    What is the diffrence about having a metal keyboard?! it costs like $100 more when you can customise your own keyboard on P.C and key a better one.... and what dose a metal keyboard even have better than plastic?! and btw apples keyboards have a "metal" casing not keys... and how many times do you feel the case of your keyboard err? 1 time a day??!?!?!?!!! im a fan of you but ur ranting because of 1 video

  • Hackintosh.

  • @Roq999 Agree.

  • yeah, you get what you pay for. getting a white apple on your computer is just really expensive.

  • @fireflambe c: You could paint it on for much less ;3

  • I'm a Mac and a pc. Even I don't own any Macintosh computers. So I'm both. Since they are both cool

  • Good opinion

  • at the moment iam a pc user but i have nothing against APPLE!!!! but i will be purchasing a mac in the near future

  • cooler software??? the software macs use looks gay as in homosexual. the reason why macs are more expensive is because they have upgrades no one cares about.

  • @skaterguy1423 you've never used a mac, faggot

  • @flameman713 dude i have both you retarded. macs look gay, pc looks cool. the only software i like from apple is itunes. but everything else i have never used... and everything i would like to use, such as UI mods, xbox controllers, and jailbroken ipod backups don't work on macs. from my point of view windows has much more hidden potential then macs. but with macs you just get everything that they advertise. thats why people who don't know computers, switch to mac

  • @skaterguy1423 learn how to type in english and then type another comment, i didn't bother reading it, pc faggot

  • "You get what you pay for" is a phrase for people too lazy to do research. I've never been dumb enough not to build my own computers. Since my first PC in 98 I haven't spent enough money on my PCs to equal the price of most of Apples computers. I even use these things for serious gaming, Every PC I have ever owned still works 3 of which are still in use in my home. If you have two brain cells to rub together, build your own PC and you can have a computer without errors that lasts for cheap.

  • Idiot Mac fanboy!

  • Fuck You!

  • for less than 1000 you can custom build a PC that will be faster than almost every brand name computer. and if you want you can go get a metal case off the internet. Or get an alienware... Apple isn't the only company that makes metal casing for their computers.

  • I wish that they did like what Apple did when they had the Switch campaign, they had real peoples stories with PC and Mac!

  • hp is the best!

    

  • i love macs now

  • i use both windows and mac. i personally prefer the feel and looks of a mac, but i still go to school, and my school uses mostly windows 7, so i have to have a pc. they arent bad (as long as you get one that nice), like i bought a dell studio, which was 950 pounds. (i dont know what that is in dollars) and i have to say, if u buy a nice pc computer, they are very nice. As long as you dont go with cheap pc's (under around 500 pounds) then youre fine with a pc.

  • "I'm not cool enough to be a Mac person," is brought on by Apple themselves. They went to great lengths to sell their format to a new generation by creating a product that was stylish and cool, irregardless of function. Apple succeeded and they are now considered the "cool" choice.

  • The apple users sure are angry. Just remember when you choose apple, you only get apple. Choose the open architecture of IBM compatible gives you Microsoft, Android, Linux, shall I go on? Also remember, (thecreativeone) if you don't want plastic build your own, that is something we can do.....I'm just trying to be fair.

  • @sbrown7210 i can use windows and linux on my mac, dumbfuck

  • @flameman713 are you retarded?? you can run any os on any computer as long you have speed requirements.

    plus if mac OS is so good why would you need to run windows or linux.

  • Ha ha wow I was reading the comments and these PC people are soooo hard headed. They just dont know what its like working with a Mac. Windows 7 is good but Mac OS X Snow Leopard is better! Ivr used everything from Windows 98 all the way up to 7 (my parents had some OLD computers) and Ive used Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard and it totally beats Windows by miles!!!! NOT THAT WINDOWS SUCKS!!! - please no haters reply to me

  • PCs are just cheap crap that are only good for someone that wants a cheap.....working computer. Ha ha lol dude I wanna sub and theres like no way to on an iPod. Ill have to wait until I use a computer.

  • @iJonny015 PC's are for people who like gaming, I don't see many people gaming on sucky ass apple shit

  • Why would you buy an HP? They make such shitty laptops. I'm a Mac user, but if I did buy a PC, I have to say I would go with Dell or Sony.

  • Shut the fuck up You dickhead. At least microsoft doesn't completely bullshit to the consumer Macs do get fucking viruses and spyware. And yes I do have a mac but i also have a PC. Fuck you asshole FANBOY. Why can't you use both?

  • @TowfiqTheBrown suck balls

  • @AwesomeGenius96

    Great Response very creative and intelligent.

  • stupid advertisement

  • do be honest, you were looking at the ad wrong. i think microsoft were saying im nto cool enough to be a mac person as a joke. and also, i got my windows pc for $600 aud and it has better specs than a mac.

  • so you're calling my HP laptop shit? its actually better than my mac which broke in 1 year.

  • i wonder how many times she got the blue screen of death after she got it hahahaha

  • @360TRiiCKZ Unless you install a shitton of things that pop up (toolbars and the like), your computer doesn't crash (the same goes for viruses, you don't click on everything you see without thought).

  • Why has no one said how stupid this woman is?

    If I was given $1000 to buy something, I would spend the full $1000. Not buy some shit $699 laptop.

    I've actually been looking at a Viao, I need to get rid of the Acer that's sitting next to this MBP.

  • i hate macs they suck. so go pc damb it!

  • I'm a pc right now and it sucks so bad need a mac i hate windows

    GO MACS

  • so ur saying microsoft is worse than apple because they made 1 commercial against the other company and apple made like 60 commercials basically saying "windows sucks"...

  • yeah sucks when companies use actors for their advertisement such as.... windows, APPLE!!!!!!

  • 2:25 they use "mac store" to avoid lawsuits with a certain company in Cupertino

  • if you even contemplate not being cool enough to be a mac person then you're fag enough to be a mac person

  • The only thing I concern myself with when buying a laptop, besides a durable case construction, is whether or not it's going to be compatible with whatever OS I choose to run on it. If It's loaded down with components and firmware that prevent me from doing that, then I don't want it in the first place. I don't care whose logo is on the front of it. Especially so now that Apple has gotten away from PPC and are basically just over-priced PCs.

  • 2:35 but they don't sell apples. So there.

  • @dethdakiller0 no but the the company is apple dumb ass!

  • @dethdakiller0 The company is called apple. Not mac.

  • @dethdakiller0 I'm a PC fanboy, but Microsoft doesn't sell "Windows" (the stuff you see through).

  • We're supposed to care about a guy with a fucking wii?

    Sure thing faggot.

  • @dingydongdoo

    Yeah sure, go play your 360.

  • a PC can do everything a MAC can and more.

  • @corvettemph200

    A Mac can literally be a PC and more. Boot Camp ftw.

    Thanks for playing, though.

  • @ClairvoyantLegacy

    so what you're saying is that u have to run windows to make you're mac work...

  • @corvettemph200

    What are you talking about? The Mac is a PC. PC stands for Personal Computer.

    I'm saying that a Mac running OS X can do everything a computer running Windows can except for a bunch of old games.

    You can install Windows on a Mac with OS X using Boot Camp, therefore, a Mac has the capabilities of both. OS X only legaly runs os Macs. Therefore Macs > other computers.

    Software is not the same as hardware.

  • @ClairvoyantLegacy

    But did you know you can install OSX onto a PC with dual-boot? My acer laptop actually runs OSX, mostly because my job uses macs (my boss has no fucking clue what hes doing, he was like "hurr durr we getting macs! =D")

    But yeah, macs can be windows PCs, and windows PCs can become macs

  • @dethdakiller0

    Not legally you can't, Apple does not allow the running of OS X on computers other than Macs.

  • @ClairvoyantLegacy

    >no! you can't do illegal things on the internet!

    hahahahahaha oh wow.

    You do realize laws and internet don't exactly go hand in hand? The last survey i saw put the number of people who pirate software/media at like 85%.

    tldr: Noone gives a shit about legality.

  • @corvettemph200

    Also, questions end with a question mark, (?). Sentences start with a capital letter and in the case near the end of your question, 'your' should've been used instead of 'you're' as you have used. 'Windows' and 'Mac' are both proper nouns and start with a captial letter.

  • @ClairvoyantLegacy

    >youtube comments

    >policing grammar

    >caring about legality

    What the shit? I don't even...

  • ALUMINIUM you moron, it is called ALUMINIUM.

  • ok its time to get schooled lol i will start with the mac store, microsoft cant use apple store as it is copyrighted. and as for pc vs mac the ez answer is what do u do on a computer is it just going on the web? are is it gaming? 85% of the ppl use there computers to go on the web and as any one should know u dont need a power house computer to do that a net book will do what u need and as for gaming pc well u need the power and for $1000 i can make one kick ass pc.

  • apple doesn't make a lot of money on mac's, they get about 100 to 200 dollar profits on each mac, they're money comes from ipods, software, the os, and other various products. Some PC's cost less because they're are striped down cheap computers, apple only makes the best computers they can with the most advance hardware. They don't offer striped down versions. Often times if you try order a PC that's as good as the equivalent mac, it ends up being more expensive.

  • if mac would get into the gaming department then i would have one but pc are better with game and yes i agree on the better interface

  • Do people first turn gay and then switch to Mac or vice versa?

  • Crash in the background!!!!! Thumbs up for 90's kids win.

  • @adrianlfs

    Hells yeah!

  • we'll call it a maccle store

  • "I'm not cool enough to use a Mac" is the DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER HEARD!!! I want to smack that girl.

  • I approve Windows XP because it's a basic OS, I got windows XP downloaded, I like linux, I REALLY WANT A MAC MINI.

  • $1,200 buys a very nice laptop with some top-notch components. Very fast desktop replacement. $699 laptops are like $699 desktop pc's: pretty weak.

  • I like pcs but they showed the apple sign and still called it the mac store

  • No offense, but people don't have a RIGHT to be mad at MS' ad. Apple has been directly putting down MS for years now, even AFTER MS bailed them out in 1997. I'm just saying, we all laugh at Apple's IM A MAC, IM A PC ads, so we can't be pissed when MS comes back at them. "Cool mac users" are a stereotype just like "Windows cant do movie editing/creative stuff" is a stereotype. Or like how PC's get virus'......which only happens to complete airheads these days.

  • @RaVeN19Dizzle Microsoft made shit loads of money when they sold off their shares.

  • @sousuke121 Yes, but they kept their end of the deal and didn't sell their shares until the set deadline. Bottom line is, Microsoft is the reason for Mac not going out of business 13 years ago. Mac fanboys seen to forget that, and try to pawn it off with excuses like "they made money when they sold the stock". You make it sound like a bad thing. Microsoft sold the stock because it can't own a hand in its competition and still have good business.

  • @RaVeN19Dizzle The iMac is the reason Apple didn't go out of business. Microsoft did provide a considerable amount of funding, but if Apple still had Gil Almeio selling subpar Performas, even under Microsoft's aid, they still would've went under.

  • @vantageIIx It was Steve Jobs who went to MS for help, and if it wasn't for MS and their help, Apple would never have lived long enough to make the iMac. MS helped Apple before the iMac came out.

  • @RaVeN19Dizzle Still, Bill Gates knew that Steve Jobs would get that company back to health so it was a good time to invest. Anyone know knows a little bit about business would have known that at the time. Apple had allot of resources in which to bring it back, it just needed backing with funds and good leadership.

    Sure without Microsoft Giving that investment into Apple, Apple would have fallen but without Apple being a good company it would still be a dead company.

  • @sousuke121 How do you know what Bill Gates was thinking? Last I checked, Apple was DYING until MS helped them. Bottom line is, and always will be, if Microsoft hadn't stepped in, Apple would have died before 2000. Anybody who knows a little bit about business would have known that.

  • @RaVeN19Dizzle Apple was DYING as you say because Apple had quite awful leadership. Also Apple Released the iMac in 1998 so if they would only last 2 more years it would be long enough for Apple to get back to health of-course thats according to you mind.

    And i didn't know what Bill Gates was thinking, but he knew Steve Job's background, He Co-Created Apple, Created NExT and Created Pixar, ALL Successful companies (Whilst he was around).

    I would have invested into apple knowing that.

  • @sousuke121 First of all, it matters not why Apple was dying, it matters simply that Microsoft PREVENTED it. Prevented it in 1997 as a matter of fact. I suspect Microsoft's financial boost to Apple had a lot to do with mass production of the iMac.

    If you KNEW business, which you clearly don't, you'd know that business thrives on competition. Which is why Gates got involved with Apple. He didn't need any money, and if you think that, you're delusional.

  • @RaVeN19Dizzle It may interest you to know that Microsoft seem to have paid Apple more than $2billion in damages and "don't sue us" money from all the copyright and patent infringement they took part in. If Apple sued them Microsoft would be a much smaller company today, and may not exist as they'd have been forced to split into two or more entities under the monopoly legislation. MS were about to be under trial by the DoJ for anti-competetive behaviour and this was a way to look less evil.

  • @RaVeN19Dizzle Apple was close to the brink, but Microsoft didn't "save" them. They surely helped, but Jobs replaced all the top brass and brought investment with him and did a damn good job turning things around. Whatever your feelings for Jobs and Apple, he's one hell of a business man and knowing he was running the company would have given investors faith that their money will be safe.

  • has your voice broken yet?

  • i was a long time apple user for 15 years, now having a macbook pro 15" aluminum, replacing my aging aging and scaldingly hot powerbook g4 12". the only macs i ever had problems with were my short-lived ibook g3 which had that logicboard faillure, but that was the only one after 5-7 computers. pc's forget about them.

  • there are pro and cons to all thing and there's always fighting over whats better but in the end you like what you like and i like what i like don't try and force what you like on others let them choose what they want for them self's.

    P.S i like all tech not just one or the other

  • So what? You apple fanboys call computers running Windows PCs when Macs are PCs as well.

  • All computers are surrounded by metal. The diference is that the front hAs a decorTive plastic coating on the front for effect. I'm a pc user and I'm NEVER going back to a mac again. It's nohing against Apple I just hate their computers. I have an iPod and I love it it's just I've had bad experiances with apple and the $1500 iBook that WOULD NOT TURN ON!

  • But in ads by Apple, they Mac is the "cool" person (laid-back, casual) when the PC is "not cool" (business suite, up tight).

  • i got irritated when she says the mac store it sounds wired like that thumbs up if u agree

  • microsoft kinda says that a windows users is a losers
