@mouserorignal Windows works too. I asume the Mac OS X works too. What's the difference. You idiots just say "derp derp this OS is better derp." Facts? Any facts? At all? I don't give a shit about your damn opinions. I want to know what makes one OS better than the other. Also, I hate how you assholes attempt to shove your shitty opinions down other people's throats. Now, come back with facts or go rot in a ditch.
Ok well lets see they both have strong points. A pc actually lets the user interact with their OS. You can actually do stuff with it. Mac OS are not real operating systems. They basically just exist and are there for people who dont want to learn how to use an operating system, and if you really want that everything mac has can be duplicated on a pc. I have one of each, and the only thing i like better about the mac is video editing software and thats only because its easier to use. long message
Macs are for people who just want to get real work done, not mess with a finicky operating system. I don't want to interact with my operating system, I just want it to work.
My company saves about 80% of our IT budget from the switch to Macs. The TCO is much lower than for a PC with Windows. Every day we just fire them up and they work, no hassle. All failures so far have been hardware. No viruses, no conflicts, no crap.
Pretty much all viruses are from users being stupid. I've had my comp for 3 years now, and not one virus. Unfortunately most people are going to see an ad claiming that they're the 1 millionth visitor to the site and they have to download this program to claim their winnings. I guess if you don't want to go through the trouble of learning about computer and using common sense, getting a mac is the right choice. Then theres those who buy e-machines, and then wonder why their comp is shit.
@Stalofos I agree that stupid users are a big part of the problem. Just out of curiosity, are you a small business owner? Its almost impossible to hire non-stupid, non-lazy people. Of course I live in Europe so its even harder. My company pays well, that's not the problem, it really just the shortage of non-idiots.
Macs help us save money. They cost the same (or less) than a good quality WinPC. I can control the user experience with parental controls, networking doesn't need a professional, etc.
@Stalofos its easy to avoid viruses just dont go on dodgy sites. like ones that say "watch this movie free! click here to download" or the ones that say ur the 1,000,000th visitor, because it seems im the 1,000,000 visitor on a lot of websites! lol anyway ik a good virus program its called microsoft security essentials i put it on my comp just in case but it has never detected a single virus (or trojans... etc...)
mac is for people that just wont image i even would say mac looks cool but i hate the softwear on the mac big pain only using mac productes the only thing that made mac up there is that good dam ipod
PC users can continue to bask in their ignorance. Yeah, in PC MAG the Mac topped the users survey for best quality, best customer service, and another review by a PC journal rated the Macbook Pro the best notebook for Vista...but I'm sure the Mac is worse than the budget PC you slapped together from discount parts ;)
@jaguarf11 Acctually, I "slapped together" an excellent computer for only $700. Besides, the only difference between a Mac and a PC is the OS. Which, OSes in general are quite similar. They simply have different programs that are programmed for them. Some, the same such as Age of Empires...for some reason. I'm only here to watch retarded PC and Mac fanboys argue. It's amusing.
Mac isnt actually for kids, its for unique people who enjoy making different artistic things. DONT insult the mac. Its compleatly different from PC, in a good way.
Screw All The Computers ! I Will Just Go Get A Nice Dell Laptop And Hack It And Put Snow Leopard OS On It
