Mac vs. PC for Multimedia?

[lockecole21]

lol,i have lots of problems with customer service over the years,yes even Apple to my dismay was actually cussed out by 2 Apple customer service reps.in one day,did i let that dissuade me from continuing to buy Apple products?nope i own a wi=fi router made by Apple among a few other items.only thing it did was stop me from using the phone service.now i only use the web help service.

[ak49pro]

this is stupid... i started out on a windows pc using then, win 1995 all the way 2 vista until switching 2 mac 2 1/2 years ago. Mac just WORK. the work flow is unbelievable. apple builds the os & the computer. they ALL work as 1. MS makes the OS to work on a thousand different versions of pc's. that's where the problem lies

pc = works (kinda)

mac= speed, reliability, & performance

mac's are built 4 speed, reliability, and performance. the price, it's like the old saying, you get what u pay 4

[trigger32nz]

mac's are good for people that dont know how to use computers, ive had a mac and it was like a closed box with little software a pc is like a open box with a lot of software with 1000s of free good programs too  you just need to look at the number of computers sold to know whats better about 1% of people i know have a mac if its so good why do so little people own one?

[DackDack123]

why don't you build your PC. Then you everything thats going into the machine, plus you can save a few thousand. You will also learn a lot, thats just my 2 cents.

[1993gandy]

@DackDack123 That might be true but if you compare Windows laptops to Mac laptops (hardware wise) the pricing is very similar. In fact Mac laptops are cheaper than Windows laptops with similar specs (unless you get hardware upgrades from Apple)

[DackDack123]

@1993gandy I totally agree on that aspect of laptops, but there desktops are mid-range pc"s with an additional few grand added on, the only thing different was a apple case and their OS.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy Lol no

I paid 500 dollars for an HP dv6 that has a quad core 2.3ghz A6 with 4 gigs of ram, and a 640 gig hard drive

and can you come up with something thats a mac that is comparable to this with this price

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD HP dv6 doesn't have a 7 hour battery life. It has Beats Audio which is the worst audio in the world, it has way too much bass that sounds muddy and the quality from 300+Hz sounds awful. It's almost 0.3" thicker than a MBP (15") which you might not think is a lot but in the laptop world it is. Despite the fact that it is made out of plastic, it is heavier than a MBP(15") It's a HP so it will fall apart after around 1 year, and the HP customer service is horrible.

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy The vents are also at the bottom of the laptop so it can overheat very easily. I sometimes leave my 15" PowerBook G4 and 15" MBP on my bed while they are running and I have never had any overheating problems.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy Well allow me to retort:

It can last more than 7 hours, I do it every day at college without plugging it in, from 8am-5pm, I turn off the speakers and NIC card, because I don't use them. Also the quality of sound is based on the track you're playing. 3/10ths of an inch is nothing. Also the plastic is better than aluminum, it doesn't bend, pit or conduct electricity. I never used the HP customer service, if I need to service, I can easily do it myself.

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD I think you will find aluminum is actually better for a laptop, because it conducts heat, the heat is spread out over all of the casing rather than one spot making it overall cooler. As for conducting electricity, none of the internal components get effected by it at all unless there is enough voltage and amps to kill a person. Also it doesn't bend or pit unless you treat it like shit I have a plastic laptop as well that has bent and still is all I did with it was pick it up.

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy So what if you don't use the speakers and you can easily service it yourself. I can service my Macs easily as well but a majority of the population don't know how. It's the same with the speakers. I rarely use the built in speakers I usually use my headphones but that doesn't mean a majority of owner do that as well.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy I don't think you know how Thermodynamics and Specific heat works

Aluminum has a very low specific heat, this means it absorbs only a little energy and its temperature goes through the roof, where other substances take for instance water, can absorb ALOT of energy and its temperature doesn't change.

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD Does your HP have water cooling? No I don't think so. BTW I use my MBP for a lot of photoshopping and video editing with video that are usually uncompressed 1920x1080 and the case temp never goes over 30C (unless the ambient is above 25C which for me only happens on a hot summers day). Where as the plastic laptops (both newish Acers) I own can reach low 40C just from web browsing and typing documents at the same time.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy Why would you need water cooling? is your CPU or GPU getting so hot that it needs water cooling?

My laptop fan rarely goes full spin cycle, its very silent. 30c isn't that hot either, especially when my summers get to 40c occasionally. My laptop has never gotten above 10+ the temperature of the environment, I don't know where or why you get off making these statements.

Ironically every person I meet with a mac apparently they ALL do photo work. coincidence? I wonder.

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD Do you suffer from dementia? You are the one who stated water is a better conductor of heat than aluminum (which is a fact) but no laptop has water cooling does it? I get these statements from personal use, not random websites on the internet (I'm not saying you are either) and yes Macs are really good for photo editing. Believe it or not but one of the things I do at college involve editing photos. I edit videos for youtube. Since I got my Macs I very rarely use my

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy PC laptops and rarely use my PC desktop either apart from gaming. Mac runs a hell of a lot better than Windows. My 2006 PowerBook G4 with a single core 1.25GHz CPU, 1GB RAM and 5400RPM HDD not only boots Mac OS X 10.4.11 quicker than my PC running 3.2GHz quad core, 4GB RAM and 7200RPM HDD with Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit but it runs most programs better including MS Office.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy You didn't give a PC model for your second comparison, how should I go about finding out or even peer edit your statement when you're as vague as a black dot on black construction paper.

Also, Boot sequences are not computer heavy, thats a registry operation and is fairly easy to execute, it doesn't use much resources.

for all I know your PC has been loaded and used over the years. And with this being the internet, your fallacious claims are obviously made to your favor

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD I didn't give a PC model because it doesn't have one. I built it myself but if you really want to know the components then OK.

Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 AMD 990X

3.2GHz AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (running at 4.2GHz)

4GB generic RAM 1333MHz (I think it might be Kingston Value)

nVidia GTX 550Ti

Seagate Barracuda 500GB 7200 RPM 3Gb/s (C drive)

Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB 5400 RPM 3Gb/s

Corsair TX650

Fractal Core Design 3000

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy "For all I know your PC has been loaded and used over the years"

Not really. I got all the components brand new in June 2011 and I have only been on it 20 times and the only programs that are installed is MS Office 2011, Steam, and a few games downloaded from Steam.

As for the registry thing, yes that does make a huge difference but so does the difference between 110Mb/s (PowerBook G4) and 3Gb/s (custom PC)

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy And with this being the internet, all claims of any sort of disposition towards one faction is usually and almost always as the client's preferred designation for those results through the erroneous and fallacious claims made.

I can clearly state that my little laptop boots in 30 seconds, which it does, but who is inclined to believe me?

I have a Dell E510 thats now 7 years old that takes 10 minutes to boot purely because of its age and wear and tear it has incurred.

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD My PowerBook G4 has a lot of wear and tear, it's almost 6 years old and it still takes around 35 seconds to boot. Therefore Mac is better (not purely because of boot times) for just about everything other than games. Just take a look at my other comments on this video. Overall Mac is always going to be better value for money.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy Really? better value?

Go to apple site, go to mac pro or imac, they have a standard included price for many parts

On the cheapest Mac Pro, it comes standard with 3 gigs of DDR3, they are charging over 200 more dollars for an extra 3 gigs, Go to Best buy or even Newegg and you'll find that 3 gigs of ram isn't more than 100

Also with the CPU's, when going from the 2.8 to the 3.2 they want 400 more dollars, you can get a quad core i7 @ 3.4 for less

Why are they charging

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy They're also charging 150 for an extra 18 speed optical drive

Why? go to new egg, pic one up for 40 bucks.

They're charging 1200 dollars for a 6 core CPU at 3.33ghz

Why pay for that when you can buy the AMD bulldozer which has 8 cores at 4 ghz and costs only 220

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD You don't have a clue do you. Bulldozer is the worst thing that has ever happened to AMD. Their Phenom II X4s are not only cheaper but they are quicker and use less power.

They are also charging $150 for an optical drive because optical media is mid-90s and Apple are trying to make it obsolete. I haven't used any form of optical media (Not including consoles because you don't have a choice) since the early 2000s BTW cores isn't everything.

[1993gandy]

@1993gandy Quad core has been out now for more than 10 years and there still isn't any programs (apart from video editing software, benchmarking software and like 4 games) that take full advantage of quad core CPUs.

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy Also simply stating that apple is trying to oust them is like saying that one of the core operations that people use is no longer needed, If OD's are being ousted then IDE hard drives should be too, which they are to an extent, but SSD's are very expensive and as far as I've seen can't seem to break 1tb cheaply.

[1993gandy]

@KyuubiNaruto1337XD "If OD's are being ousted then IDE hard drives" OK you clearly don't know anything. Hardware manufactures stopped making motherboards that support IDE hard drives without any adapters in 2006 they use SATA now. Just incase you didn't know, what Apple is doing to OD now is exactly the same as what they did to floppy drives in the 90s. Oh yeah SSDs aren't that expensive these days. They dropped to $1/GB a couple of months ago and anyone who uses SSDs for mass storage is a moron

[1993gandy]

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy >I mention one of many example

>retorts to one of them

Actually, like all multicored CPU's they idle, you may only be using one of the cores at one point.

And if AMD bulldozer is so bad, why is it that the i7, 6 core processor is only 500 dollars on Newegg, which is still cheaper than what Apple is charging?

Also, just because Optical drives are outdated doesn't mean they dont have their uses, first off you need an OD to boot incase your hard drive can't boot

[KyuubiNaruto1337XD]

@1993gandy I believe you missed the double space I made, referring to a different subject.

[DeathByZerg]

I'd rather have a 6 core processor pc for under 600$, than a duel core mac for 2,800 dollars for video editing.

[DackDack123]

@DeathByZerg I totally agree

[DjKahle]

The new video cards allow the consumer to afford oodles of video ram.. so what makes mac a better choice at all??? Simply because it comes with some iButt software bundled?

You could take the 40% markup you spend on your apple machine and invest it into a good professional video editing/mixng company and be off and working with industry standard software

How are you going to afford to upgrade to a new mac when the industry standard video format changes again?

[urah2525]

W7 is actually W6.1 so far as M/S is concerned - IOW " Vista Second Edition" VISTA WAS not THE WORST MS O/S - Windows Me WAS. An O/S put on the market and abandoned within ONE YEAR. Me was a try at a modern user friendly O/S based on Windows 9x architecture. xp was the same idea based on the "NT" architecture with better eye candy that within one year functioned nearly flawlessly.

[Maniicc]

1. Vista's the worst OS ever made, was only a 'Fill In' OS because windows 7 was taking longer than expected.

2. Not having a start menu item added when the program is installed isn't down to the OS, the program your installing has too add start menu items...

3. Your not even a full 'Techy' if you didn't even know the program made start menu items...

4. Windows = Games - Mac = Everything else..

[simpleben09]

@Maniicc Haha... You are so wrong

[Maniicc]

@simpleben09 Highly doubt it.

[simpleben09]

@Maniicc Uh... with macs, you have to pay around twice as much for a computer as your have to for a computer of the same specs if you were getting a PC. Mac OS doesn't allow you to do shit. With windows, I can have my computer set to exactly how I want it. If shit goes wrong on my windows PC, I can fix it myself. Something goes wrong on a mac? You have to take it to the mac store and pay wayyy to much to have some asshole fix it

[LaxiMac]

That guy got paid to advertise pc but im equal i have a macbook pro and a Widnows 7 PC (JUST because i play games) touche!

[michaeltbear]

Multimedia comes down to software. If you are using default Mac or Windows software then you have no place in this debate and either OS will be fine. 99% of software is designed for Windows and converted for Mac. PCs will ALWAYS be 30-50% cheaper than equivalent Apple Macs. PCs can be cheaply upgraded to keep at the pinnacle of graphic/video design.

Macs have no advantage, those who buy Macs wasted their money and they're mad

:)

[mrmclaren27]

@michaeltbear I love you.

[kalel1290]

@michaeltbear

fuck you too

[kevinmarmet]

@michaeltbear

Or....you cant afford it.. :)

[leerees]

I beleive MAC os is better than Vista, and XP is faster than both. Haven't used windows 7 yet.

If you like ease of use and simplicity, choose mac. If you prefer high end, go for XP or XP64. XP is faster for 3D rendering and video editing.

On the cheap:

My laptop is 6 years old, instead of buying a new laptop I downgraded it to XP and now it runs like a rocket.

If you want real power, buy an IBM workstation.

[chukonub]

Macs are too expensive and a waste of money. Otherwise I would consider them.

[recentpickup]

ive never owned a mac but they look real nice and i would like one. Ive had a acer netbook which was ok. Ive had a Gateway laptop which is always breaking. I have a cyberpower pc which really sucks worse thing i ever bought and then I have a dell which ive had forever and it still works like new dell is the best kind of pc

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@recentpickup Stop buying crappy OEM's to fix that problem. Try building you own computer.

[TheMacGalaxy]

mac os x is great.. simple interface, great performance...

windows 7 is great... very extendable, very compatible....

so both sides have there pros and cons

[Icecool3r]

mac and vista sucks, windows 7 however kicks macs ass any day

[renatikiddo]

@Icecool3r yeah, no lagging and no fails in final cut pro...mac gets kicked (not really)

[corfroo]

I am really stuck on this one i am currently looking to buy a new computer and I am stuck in the middle of a pc and mac and i am currently a pc guy but want to make the plunge into a mac but, I do not want to spend a lot of money and not knowing if i will truly like it.

[AsktheTechies]

@corfroo Be comforted that with Windows 7, either choice is not a bad choice. I do find that people rarely regret switching to Mac particularly because of the superior customer support (this is backed up by Consumer Reports).

[corfroo]

@AsktheTechies Lol I ve had my mac for almost a year now but thanks

[probowhunter]

@corfroo mac all the way

[heighv]

@corfroo go for Mac you won't regret it, ofcourse at first you don't know what to do, that happens to every former windows user who switched to Mac, like me, it's like you've drive a car before, and then now you're the to steer a Van or wagon which larger in size,,,

[probowhunter]

i think that every aspect of mac is way better tthan windows

[IzeTheGuitarGod]

Im wondering what would be better for recording music and editing video, im a musician looking to buy a new computor and im not sure which one is better. Is the Mac worth the huge price tag? i still use windows XP

[AsktheTechies]

@IzeTheGuitarGod The fact that Mac comes with a program called Garageband already installed, is a big plus. When you are in creative mode, you don't want to have to be dealing with technology aspect of things and the Windows blue screen of death. I think every musician I know uses a Mac for their content creation/editing.

[IzeTheGuitarGod]

@AsktheTechies thanks that helps

[nick12506]

@AsktheTechies You're not counting pirating, if you count pirating pc are cheaper &faster.

Also when the guy says the layout is good, you can change the layout of windows too...

[icoopers]

@IzeTheGuitarGod Let me save you the hard work. Go with Mac for everything. Not only for editing movies or music, but for everything. You will NOT regret it.

[Mcode3996]

@IzeTheGuitarGod Mac

[stickhrk]

oh right, you used windows to edit the sound...no wonder its terrible lol

[AsktheTechies]

@stickhrk That is a rather rude way of saying something. Sound quality can not be made perfect with sound editing software. I'm sorry you found the sound quality of this video too poor for a free youtube video.

[stickhrk]

oh my...it was just a joke dood ur other videos have amazing sound and video quality, and I even love the set up you got...just a joke, dont need to be such a jerk

[AsktheTechies]

@stickhrk Sorry about the misunderstanding. When you get into the Mac vs. Pc realm, it is hard to know when someone is truly being funny, or being sarcastic. Thanks for the kind words about our more current videos quality ...we use all Macs now ;-)

[redwolf4k]

I really don't understand why people get so worked up about OSX vs. Windows. Like this guy, Xmantis420 with his long winded speech. This video doesn't seem biased at all. I have both windows machines, and apple computers, and OSX is simply worth every penny you pay. Having said that, I run a few windows machines too, great to play games with, and tons of software out there. Getting worked up about it, just shows your ignorance, anger, or jealousy. You pay a premium for a quality product.

[rockindoodcm]

I love PC's... i have 2 dells and love them, they do evrything

[X15Studios]

@rockindoodcm then your stupid

[rockindoodcm]

@X15Studios then your stupid for making bias comparisons

[xMantis420]

wow apple should pay you for this bashing. where are you ? looks like your at a pawn shop whith nothing to buy. its obvious your not in favor of windows drop the act. there was a ton of things you forgot to mention.... yea dont go buy that cheap HP at staples... but go spend 2ice as much on a mac online for what? people spend 600-1000 on a pc then shell out 2000 plus for a mac. of course it will run better than the cheap HP dumbass . one point of veiw on this video espeicaly that last part of it

[rockindoodcm]

@xMantis420 Yeah, obvious a $2,000 computer will run better than a $1000 pc. What you are missing for $2000, you could buy a computer twice as powerful as a $2000 mac, and be compatible with twice the software.. Don't you tell me "well pc;s get viruses". Well you know as well as I that it is just as easy to write a virus for mac than a pc, but since PC's hold 80% of the market, propel choose to write viruses for them. With simple antivirus, you will be fine

[icoopers]

@rockindoodcm Is not obvious that a computer that cost more will run better. Obvious is that Mac run better despite any spec from any PC. Compatible! that is old shit that at this age Mac computer handle even better than a PC, Most PC software is crap. I wouldn't use Windows software is ridiculous after using the real thing with a Mac.

Don't tell people the they would be better off with a PC when that is a total lie.

[rockindoodcm]

vas completely wrong, there are still many things that only work on PC's that work amazingly. Your also wrong with the specs. If you compare a Mac and a PC at the same price, the PC will have twice as much hard drive space and ram. The reason why mac's are taking off is because in general, people only get the cheap $400 PC. Then they realize it sucks, save up $2000 to buy a nice mac, and love it. They miss, however, what would of happened if they would have spent 3k on a PC

[xMantis420]

pfff first few seconds i could tell these guys are mac douches. besides first 5 seconds guy in white scratches his cocacaine nose. comparing software that comes with the os is pretty lame also. windows has the same if not better software..... SonyVegas Is a great Program. PC all the way Windows 7 is here to stay.

[poopdoggydog108]

Mac all the way...PCs suck

[kumitetom]

i dont see any benefits from mac with media, name one piece of software on mac which isnt on windows or have an equivilant.

[eddyc09]

iphoto,garage band,imovie,front row,iweb

none of those are available on windows you obviously have know knowledge of macs.

[kumitetom]

you missed "have an equivilant"

iphoto - Windows Photo Gallery

imovie - sony vegas

front row - windows media centre

iweb - dreamweaver

garageband... lol even if u upgrade to logic, windows has cubase, ableton, fl studio, reaon, protools

then when ur done making a sick movie with an awesome sound track u can get a bit of cod mw2 on the go n pwn some ass there... not forgetting the pc hardware is much more powerful

[eddyc09]

yes but some of them cost money also macs may not be the most powerful hardware wise but its software is far far superior to windows 7

[kumitetom]

windows 7 is awesome and the best windows yet.. for the extra money u spend on a mac ripping a hole in ur ass u can get far far superior pc then have money spare to buy software. then u can get a bit of cod mw2 on the go n pwn some ass there. xD

[megapieproductions]

i can get mw2 on mac too.  yep, im buying a mac.

[megapieproductions]

"windows media centre!!!????" give me a break Photo gallery SUCKS and i don't even know what dream weaver is.

after looking at mac vs. pc adds for about a month I'M buying a mac and selling this piece of crap windows that crashed 4 times in 2 months. Its a year old!!!

[AsktheTechies]

@kumitetom I am guessing you have never really used a Mac, or you would never have compared iWeb to Dreamweaver. I can teach Dreamweaver in 2 hours. Dreamweaver takes 2 days. The user interface of apps like iWeb and iMovie is what makes them superior for the average consumer. I encourage you to actually try using these Mac programs and you'll see the difference.

[axsimulate]

@kumitetom

We know there are alternatives on the PC side. What you failed to mention is that Dreamweaver will add a lot to the cost of the PC what is free on the Mac. and Dreamweaver may be overkill for the average user. Same with Logic, cubase, etc. these packages are in the excess of a $1000.00 and again to the average user, they may be overkill.

[trilogypart3]

Well said memento18poker. I agree 100%.

I'm one of the lucky few who's used both Macs & PCs continuously since the early 90's, and there are definitely things I prefer to do in Windows, and other things I prefer to do on a Mac.

A smart buyer will ignore the overly biased peeps on both sides, do their homework, and then make a choice based on their own needs.

As a side note... this video did draw attention to one very glaring fact... HP computers are absolute crap; with horrible support.

[memento18poker]

i recently bought a mac and much prefer it to windows. But that's the key word - PREFER. both have their strong points and both have their weak points. For me, a person who is slightly above average on computers, i felt that mac was better. but that's just me. Try BOTH, and buy the one that you ENJOY using most.

I PERSONALLY prefer mac over windows, but you might be different. dont listen to the people who are die hard fans, they are very bias

[Cooley35]

I thank you, that is one of the smartest things I have ever heard a mac user say.

[memento18poker]

@Cooley35 thanks, i try to be objective. are you a mac/windows/linux user?

[Cooley35]

Windows, but only because is what I grew up with =)

[bunn1989]

theres pros and cons for each, I believe its down to personal preference as far as whether to buy a pc or a mac...but yeah iMovie kicks WMMs butt into the ground like chuck lidell beating on a 6 year old.

[icoopers]

@bunn1989 When some one is looking to switch to a Mac, they mostly think about "pro and con" after you switch to a Mac all you think about is "why didn't i switch before" then the question about the "pro and cons" is not a question any more then is "there is no such thing" as pros and cons" You wouldn't even be able to compare if it didn't have a keyboard, Then, by then, you'd have realized that there's purely nothing you can do with Windows and that there's nothing you can't do on a Mac :)Peace

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@bunn1989 That was a pretty damn hypocritical comment. First you say it's preference, then you Imovie is better than WMM like it's a fact.

[bunn1989]

@BigdogWitBigdog its not hypocritical. The choice between BUYING a Mac or a PC is preference based on goals. If you want kick A editing software right out of the box, plunk down twice as much cash for a Mac. If you want twice as good specs for the same price, get a PC. But there is no doubt in anyones mind that iLife beats down anything Windows brings to the preinstalled table.

[gck86]

PC vs Mac is no different.You get what you paid for.

[ASCII808]

Kdenlive is decent for linux, although its not that great, its a good one if your looking for simple editing clips in linux. Mac free will be a great day. Linux ftw

[upallhours9]

I did try out the Mac, -very impressive!

As I'm on a budget, it's on my low end of the list of things I can purchase. I have a friend that sells me Windows machines that were used for Organics Rendering, I convert them over to Linux.

The security and speed of Mac-Free!!!

I have a couple vids posted with 2 of 3 machines i own (all Linux-based UBUNTU family).

Great vids btw.

[DISTERNYC]

I own both pc and mac... i do lots of multi media and still am a fan of moviemaker.... it might be simple but i beleive it s ALL about creativity . Not the fancy, cheesy video effects. Thanks for the vid guys... very helpful

[nuthouseproductz]

[Peace7Maker]

[Hamzic94]

[silverstonewebcam]

the new stuff in vista is awesome and beats mac for multimedia

[enash131]

[silverstonewebcam]

[DunkelSchatzi]

it's a shame it doesn't work.

[fghj034]

People dont understand that a mac is a PC. And you can also dual boot windows and mac osx on a pc. I think both os's have their uses. I mean, if you want to look at tons of porn, get a mac cuz u will never get a virus lol. jk. Personally i think everyone should have both a mac and a pc.

[David431771]

Seriously, I'd like to ask what the deal is with all of these Mac users saying that Macs can run Mac OS X and Windows both. Do you not understand that you can dual-boot two operating systems on PCs also? All you have to do is partition your hard drive and add your desired operating system, LIKE MAC OS X.

It's not like ONLY MACS can dual-boot two operating systems.

[Vaserlan]

Did you have a problems with drivers? which computer did you install it on? I myself have an acer pc dual booted with ubuntu 8.04 and xp sp2.

[DopestMC]

indeed, however, MACs run windows either natively or virtualized because they need windows apps, PCs can run MAC OS, but the question is .... for what? why would you need to run Leopard/tiger/etc on a PC?...

[David431771]

I agree with your point, but Dual-booting can be very useful if you want to run both Vista and Windows XP. Or you could run Vista and Ubuntu. The point I'm try to show is that PCs can dual boot operating systems too, even if running OS X is pointless.

[BorkGonsam]

I got Mac on my windows using pear pc, and I got linux on my windows via virtual pc, both can be opened in windows on my computer. Mac users tend to flaunt their stuff more than windows users.

[simpleplan951]

yea microsoft is going down now.people will soon realize pc sucks.mac rocks!

[OnionsMcGee]

Most PC users who switch to Macs never go back to PCs...unless they're satan.

[tehALEC]

Satan hates blue.

[SpeedStix87]

Is it me or are these two guys gay for each other?

I have to strongly disagree with the balding guy. VISTA SUCKS!!!!

I much prefer MacOS and Linux.

[crapitsalec]

UNIX!!!

UNIX kills MS DoS.

PC is for hacking admin accounts.

Macs support all multimedia (All OS's) and Mac Pros support any hardware you can put in a PC.

I use ALL 8 cores in my mac, plus 32 gigs of ram. I need that to run After Effects, Final Cut, Photoshop, and Shake simultaneously. Not because the system will crash, but because it's faster that way. Windows XP supported TWO GIGS of ram. TWO. Vista is a piece of SHIT.

OSX = Media.

[Stormshift]

jesus cryst dude. why would u even need THAT good a pc? if you can run crysis, photoshop cs3, and 20 other programs like that without ANY lag, you spent WAAAAAAAAAAy too much on a pc. how much did that thing cost?

[ssssroryssss2]

Actually Microsoft fixed the 2gig bug with service pack 2. You can build PC's with 8cores or more and 32gigs of RAM or more, their called servers.

[tehALEC]

Yes. But I don't use Vista. Vista pales in comparison to any outdated linux distro. In fact, XP wins in almost every category. Unfortunately, XP is no longer "supported".

[ssssroryssss2]

I had very bad expiriences with ubuntu. I've not used any other distro of linux. I do like somethings about ubuntu but unless it gets rid off the need to do any command line stuff, I don't see it being used by the masses. My trouble was with Nvidia drivers. Companies like Nvidia are not taking linux seriously and thus, not producing exceptable software. I shouldn't have to use a command prompt to install drivers or anything for that matter. I do love ubuntu's auto update but Nvidia wont use it.

[Imprezaman555]

I have jasc paint shop pro and it is the best and it is for windows and i belive mac os but im not sure. also i think that mac os is alot for people who don't really want to take charge of their computers. Windows is much more user controlled while mac osx does things based onwhat it thinks you want, being wrong about 45% of the time. I think Windows is a better overall OS. especially Vista. I can't see any reason to leave it for XP like alot of people. you just have to get used to it.

[AsktheTechies]

Did you watch the video? We praise a lot about Apple especially the customer service. I guess we just didn't bash Windows enough for you. Let's be objective, really.

I believe that there is no "user-friendly" computer out there ...it is just that some stink less than others.

[crapitsalec]

Take into account that you can burn Blu-Ray on a mac just as easily as PC. Blu-Ray seems to be the future...

[StutterMuch]

Wow, you just absolutely refuse to speak anything postive about Apple don't you. Seriously, look back on most of your videos and you will notice. Pay attention to how you come close to saying somethings very positive about Mac's but stop alittle short of it. Are you scared Mac haters will jump all over you?
