That's true... Windows is faster on a Mac because when you install it via Bootcamp, it installs some drivers designed by the manufacturer of the machine (Apple) in order to run windows faster...
@packstack15 And why is that now..perhaps it's because microsoft shoved a stick of dynamite In apples ass by getting that new awesome op system out! xD
It is true smartass... Before you talk, you need to try it yourself!
Just try running it on a Macbook Pro or an iMac, just 10 times faster than a normal computer... If you're still not satisfied, try running it on a 12 core Mac Pro, You will be surpriced!
@tttmmmnnnttt It doesn't depend on the brand of the computer, but the specs. Mac doesn't make the hardware so whatever they have in their computers, you can get the same or better on a PC. 12 core mac? Well you can get 12 overclocked core PC. Plus those overclocked cores can be the best that you can't even find on macs.
And that's just the processors, where macs are the closest to PCs. For the graphics cards, drives and so on, macs are far behind.
personally i prefer pc that's mainly because im a gamer and i have a beefy game machine but when i make my videos i use my mac because it has better software for videos so it does depend what your doing macs = music videos pcs = games and office work those r there strengths i think
the winner is............ neither, they both suck. Neither one can stasify the needs of every single human being in the entire world. No one can, not windows, , or open-source. so shut your mouths, enjoy the humor and move on with your lives.
Windows would be one of the closest, because it supports a Wide range of software, free or not almost everything is compatible, and every Kind of program can run on a PC. Such as Art, movie editing, advanced text editors. Etc. Whatever you plan to do, it can be done on PC. People just love to argue, thus why they aren't 'satisfied'. It's like the Ps3 Vs Xbox 360 wars. No matter who wins, both still think their system is -better.-
dudes ... windows is usually used by business mans .. you know .. at offices , hotels , restaurants or whatever .. mac is more like for the teenagers (with a creative part and so on ) I do not firckin see why the so called users are fighting eachoder ... its so pathetic
noone is better than noone
Lets just call windows -smart- and the mac -creative-
Hi, I'm a Mac and my owner just way overpaid for me but he doesn't care because he is an ignorant retarded faggot. Sorry that Apple has to make ads that dis computer just because they can't cut it. Sorry but PC's can play games, cost less while still having better hardware, be more versatile, customizable, features, etc. Mac claims to have better hardware, but I'm sorry I can buy parts and build a better PC myself. Mac users are complete tards. So fuck you and shove a stick up ur ass! HA!
Mac/Apple has loosened up. As a result they will use processors from other companies.
At the moment especially Intel.
So Mac can get faster ( then they were before), the company just has to drag their heels and permit the competition to actually be the Hardware. While the only thing they made on the comp is some OS and Software.
So at any moment in time you can say on behalf of Mac that they are now faster.. then THEMSELVES.
@heal0111 well it's illegal to even compare two brands. If you want to know how a computer runs, try it yourself, these commercials do not present facts and lie a lot. Apple got sued for this crap quite a few times now.
@heal0111 most of these commercials did not compare how windows ran on mac and PC. Most of them were Windows VS Mac. Which is why they were pulled into lawsuit and told to stop. Also like you can see this add does not give pair reviewed papers or any proof. They say something that does not have real proof to be taken as a fact.
@mirta000 Firstly, Apple were not pulled into a lawsuit over this add so you might want to re-think that one.
Secondly... and more to the point, this add is Apple quoting 'PC World'. So if like you claim anyone is lying, it's the independent PC World, not Apple.
@heal0111 well I guess it was PC worlds mistake. Went to search for the article to read it. Found it, it was one from 2007 and they did a mistake.
"The reality is PC World apparently hadn't tested a laptop faster than the MacBook Pro at the time, and it wasn't until weeks later they tested the Eurocom D900C Phantom-X, which handily bested Apple's lappie by a broad margin"
@mirta000 Apple builds the Mac to easily allow you to install Windows (without 3rd party software) if you so desire. The same cannot be said for Dell, Toshiba, Samsung or whoever you use
@heal0111 i'm not looking at debating which o/s is better here. just stating a fact that i feel she be pointed out with your statement about macs running windows. windows was designed to run on most anything where as osx was made to run on just what apple wants it to run on. that's why you can't put osx on anything you want like dell or toshiba ect.. if that was shot about quality, i feel you are mistaken. i'll shut up before i get on the which better stuff lol
@heal0111 not really. If you install it on PCs with software from the same companies as Macs have (for instance Mac has ATI processor, go with ATI processor), you can install Mac OS on that kind of PC and it will work better than on a mac.
what r u talking about??? mac os is 70 dollars less than vista, and has over 1000 new features since 2001, name 1 feature windows has that wasnt a rip off mac and not looks.
go on!
imovie... i mean movie maker...
oh i love that new dock in windows 7... how original...
Im doubting on superfetching, im positive on DX10, user account control, possibly voice recognition.
Is MacOSX cheaper than vista? Well, it only runs on Mac hardware, if you dont want to break the law, which is hundreds of dollars more expencive than a PC.
Lastly, even if you decide windows is not getting better, PCs still are. As a matter of fact, every mac hardware upgrade is a rip-off from PCs.
hundreds more??? strange the cheapest pc i could find that wasn't an acer was 500. yet the cheapest mac was 600. and the mac was better... hmmm...
mac has voice recognition, user account control, and Open gl. btw direct x is for mac. not finished. but the source code is available.
also hardware isnt a rip.
nvidia makes a graphics card... apple, dell, toshiba, etc all buy it. there is no ripping involved. as for the os everything in windows is a rip off mac. in fact nvidia contacted apple.
Look better. Dutch sites make best buy guides. One of my favourite hardware stores copies those guides. I can get:
Phenom x3 8650
HD4650
4 gig memory
640 gig harddisk
monitor+keyboard+mouse+speakers
for 620 euros. Ill give links in msg if u want them.
OpenGL is not apple's work, and user account control is not thesame as having user accounts. It's windows asking user permission if a program wants admin rights. And where's DX directX for mac? Why would microsoft give their API to apple?
microsoft did not give direct x to apple. someone took the coding and recreated it for mac. its called the alky project. they gave up on it but they give you the work they have done on it already for other people to give it a try.
they were pretty far along to. i dont see why they stopped... unless they were sued.
Ok, so Apple bought their hardware, and microsoft just stole the ideas from apple. Thats all great, but what do i care where microsoft gets their stuff from, as long as it works. Bottem line for me is that a PC will either get the job done cheaper, or faster, or both. Or in the case of gaming, the best.
Lastly, if the cheapest PC u could find was an Acer, then i conclude you did not look at self-building. I built my system myself, which gives me maximum freedom a mac will never offer me.
"what do i care where microsoft gets their stuff from, as long as it works"
thats the thing... IT DOESNT WORK!!! crashes, errors, freezing, lagg. you call that working? wow.
no i sayed that WASNT an acer. acer may be cheep but thats because you will spend 1000 dollars in repairs.
i didnt calculate building it yourself because that takes a while. i have done it before and its nothing special. when you think about it. the money you use to upgrade your pc in 3 years you could buy a brand new mac
Vista works fine here. I got this peculiar crash when i switch in and out of UT2004, but thats where the problems end. Never got strange lag, nor freezing.
Also, the PC i mentioned is not an Acer. It is assembled by the PC shop. And when searching that site some more, i found dozens of PCs under 600 bucks, not Acer, and most of the times more powerfull than a mac mini. But still, with the specs they had, vista might not be that great of an idea = |
why the hell does everyone hate vista??? its the same as xp only with more security, a slicker look, widgets... im mean gadgets, and control alt delete actually works finally.
and windows 7 is just vista with a dock, sound familiar? multi touch... iphone couch couch... and easier to remove hardware.
there is no way your computer isnt running slow, eroring, crashing, or freezing.
unless u dont do anything on it.
i tried to install a simple program a few days ago and it crashed everything.
i got a C2Q q6600@ 3 GHz, 8 gigs ram [gotta love superfetching], 9800GT. Gaming quite alot, running tons of things next to each other, like atm:
teamspeak, msn, xfire, asus gamerOSD, utorrent, fraps in idle, few mozilla, few folders open, few conversations open, steam in background, razer program for mouse, OCZ thingy for keyboard, monitor adjustment proggy, and all the while windoes has the security stuff in the background.
Not sure about what ur doing wrong, but it feels very responsive.
i havnt used windows in about 2 years, except gaming and at school. but mac has been able to do this for a long time now with no lag. windows still has major problems.
I cant see any real problems that windows has at this moment. As i said, my system feels very responsive. Dont forget that vista improved alot over the years. Also, i forgot to say that i can run those processes while gaming, without any problem.
Also, windows 7 will be alot better than vista: kernel improvements, more file formats, better UI [read: a more recent MacOS is ripped] better multi-core performance, handwriting, better batery on laptops, more secure, bitlocker, and some other stuff
the new os's windows 7 improvements: dock security remove hardware mac snow leopard improvements: new file system to cut file sizes down allot bouncing windows better use of multi core videos play in icons stacks can scroll quick time pro for free Microsoft seems lazy to me...
windows 7 will feature better boot time and better overall performance, mainly because XP will be virtualized, so that it no longer is ballast on the OS. Mutlicore will be used better, more file types supported, better hardware support, encryption, battery saving stuff, handwriting recognition.
And while windows does this, they're also copying more of Mac's UI! Aint it great?
That's because Microsoft already had most of those as free updates. Windows Seven is to streamline windows vista. Oh and BOUNCING WINDOWS is pretty much doing what windows can. I would love to see Microsoft pull the plug on bootcamp . Mac would plummet.
No, mac wouldn't plummet. i would still stay with mac.
Microcrap cant pull the plug on bootcamp unless they made their own computers and only allowed windows to be put on them. which they wont do. plus they are a software company. they make money off bootcamp.
What I'm trying to say is that if you weren't alowwed to run microsoft in any uncertified computers (Macs) they wouldn't be able to do what most people use their computers for. They would only be making money from the people that need the macs for hardcore photoshop and the like. Also why you go buying your Mac every one to two years to stay with the "in" crowd I could always upgrade my own PC without paying another 1000- 2000 dollar computer.
mac has a better calculator. you simply click the middle mouse button and the calculator widget is in the middle of the screen waiting for you. not including a unit converter, translator, calendar, weather, some games, or anything you get off apples site.
even the notepad on vista looks EXACLY the same as the one in mac. yes Microsoft are experts in copying other companies. they are like those chinese imitations.
here is a drawback of win 7, they got rid of inkball.
one kool thing i like about it tho is it has an animated startup. four glowing orbs spin around and go into the windows sign.
My guess is that the games I had running at the time were not supported for Mac, yet.
At this point many Online games are made for Windows or Dos first, then for Linux,.. then in a few years they might make a version of the client for Mac but the long running ones tend to not make a Mac version.
not only that, but they basicaly copied the dock in windows 7. in the quick start bar, when you start a program there, there isnt a bar on the task bar. the program just lights up in the quick start bar, and if you start a program not in the task bar, it shows up. almost exactly like the dock in osx.
These ad's are so funny because dumbass MacFags buy into this shit
Also - If OS X is so perfect, why the hell would you need Vista? Vista is more perfect in every way - I use Common Sense 2009 Plus Edition anti-virus and I've gotten only one which AVG free took care off. Vista isn't bloated and my computer runs it quite well. OS X is for losers who would be better off flushing that money down the toilet, but hey, at least you got an aluminum pizza box.
well, its advertisement,, apple is making windows users buy their products. and who cares about the operating system, really, you prolly dont know shit about macs, so you have no right to negatively criticize something that you dont have interest in, its like pizza, well if i liked only cheese and you liked peparoni on yours, am i gonna say ugh your a nimrod and full of shit because you like peparoni and i dont, no, i dont because every one has their own oppinion.
if you look up the history, apple hates Microsoft because everything in windows is a rip off mac, and they cant do anything about it because bill gates bought shares of apple and gave steve jobs his job back on the condition they don't sue them.
face it ppl. macs can do evrythin u want them to, faster and mor efficiently, and without any confusing computer language of which linux needs u to kno to run. i used to love PC's, bu now i hav a mac, with windows on it. i hav no need for nethin else.
cause no one uses them. For a virus designer it would be pointless to make a virus for anything as useless as a Mac already is. I like knowing how my computer runs and what its doing. I like knowing that no matter what, there's a way out other than the trash compacter....
Are you a retard? Safari is one of the most un-safest browsers in the world. Yea, Macs are so much safer, that's why they get their viruses via Video codec codes. Yep, I really want to watch a video and get a trojan.
safari and ie use the same coding to view web sites.
you cant get a virus on a mac, they can download themselves but they cant launch themselves. unless your a complete retard and double click on it after its done downloading.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
haha this is why apple sucks, this is a lie you can get a pc running vista fatser than a mac it all depends on the hardware. and you can do vice versa also.
vista does suck ass though ,xp is still better than any mac os.
For as fine as you managed to dissect and compare both comments, I'm rather surprised that my point escaped you. Be that as it may, allow me to rephrase for you:
"In what way is XP 'better?' In its convoluted interface and inherent inconsistencies? Its unpredictability and relative instability?"
that shit is tottly untrue windows is just a fast as mac some of these mac and pc ads i just don't understand they make most of it up i wonder if bill gates and steve jobs saw this and i wonder what they would say
Why is this annoying? as a PC user and lover, i find those ads very funny and not offensive at all, none of them pushed me toward buying a mac (i have, actually, several PCs at home, and NO MACs), but i indeed find them funny.
I've always noticed the little company always nips at the big company, it's a sign of envy at its superiority anyway. Still, it always angers me to see it because if you want to sell your product fine just don't rip on someone else's, just do the best job you can and do regular ads and it will sell itself. This just show's apple's desperation.
Errrr, I'm pretty sure a Dellien Ware laptop benches far higher than a Mac ever could. OVERCLOCK! It's why they sell Intels and not AMDs. And tbh, anyone with a C2 has overclocked it unless they're total noobs, in which case, get em out of the real community and into downtown Noobsville with the Mac Heads and the sheep.
Gates could have ended apple's life back in the 90's but the antitrust laws helped them out and then Jobs gets lucky with the iPod and all of a sudden Apple is better than Microsoft the company that made the modern PC what it is. that's some funny crap. Give up apple you were pwnt a long time ago.
I love how apple just keeps poking at windows vista like a desperate dying animal still trying to claw back into the race. My oh my apple just keep in mind if it wasn't for the pesky anti-trust laws Microsoft WOULD OWN YOU. Know your damn role and shut your mouth already. I also love the fact that the commercial never mentions that if you buy a mac you'll have a VERY hard time finding 3rd party software for it... but of course the crappy commercials can make up for that... right?
LOL they're comparing HARDWARE SPECS against MICROSOFT....a SOFTWARE COMPANY. Just another reason all mac users are homos and like it in the butt. hahahhahaha
That's why they said a Mac can run Vista faster than a PC? If you're talking benchmark tests, this will depend on hardware. BTW, Mac uses Intel processors and ATI Graphics cards.....something "PC's" have been using for years.
See the problem with this whole ad is the fact that the Mac they tested is worth apx. $4000. The most expensive PC they tested was closer to $2600. Fact is, they tested software that was by far more expensive and thus it was capable of running better benchmarks.
I'm just tired of all this bad Apple-related misinformation.

macs are overrated and over priced. every year mac gets less innovative, but they do improve on looks.
skyline777 2 years ago
what r u talking about??? mac os is 70 dollars less than vista, and has over 1000 new features since 2001, name 1 feature windows has that wasnt a rip off mac and not looks.
go on!
imovie... i mean movie maker...
oh i love that new dock in windows 7... how original...

Im doubting on superfetching, im positive on DX10, user account control, possibly voice recognition.
Is MacOSX cheaper than vista? Well, it only runs on Mac hardware, if you dont want to break the law, which is hundreds of dollars more expencive than a PC.
Lastly, even if you decide windows is not getting better, PCs still are. As a matter of fact, every mac hardware upgrade is a rip-off from PCs.
antalz 2 years ago
hundreds more??? strange the cheapest pc i could find that wasn't an acer was 500. yet the cheapest mac was 600. and the mac was better... hmmm...
mac has voice recognition, user account control, and Open gl. btw direct x is for mac. not finished. but the source code is available.
also hardware isnt a rip.
nvidia makes a graphics card... apple, dell, toshiba, etc all buy it. there is no ripping involved. as for the os everything in windows is a rip off mac. in fact nvidia contacted apple.
aegnt09 2 years ago
Look better. Dutch sites make best buy guides. One of my favourite hardware stores copies those guides. I can get:
Phenom x3 8650
HD4650
4 gig memory
640 gig harddisk
monitor+keyboard+mouse+speakers
for 620 euros. Ill give links in msg if u want them.
OpenGL is not apple's work, and user account control is not thesame as having user accounts. It's windows asking user permission if a program wants admin rights. And where's DX directX for mac? Why would microsoft give their API to apple?
antalz 2 years ago
microsoft did not give direct x to apple. someone took the coding and recreated it for mac. its called the alky project. they gave up on it but they give you the work they have done on it already for other people to give it a try.
they were pretty far along to. i dont see why they stopped... unless they were sued.
aegnt09 2 years ago
Sounds pretty intresting. Quite possible Microsoft sued someone, somewhere.
Then again, if you steal DX10 almost completely, but never really mention DX10 in ur documentation, im unsure what Microsoft can make you.
antalz 2 years ago
Ok, so Apple bought their hardware, and microsoft just stole the ideas from apple. Thats all great, but what do i care where microsoft gets their stuff from, as long as it works. Bottem line for me is that a PC will either get the job done cheaper, or faster, or both. Or in the case of gaming, the best.
Lastly, if the cheapest PC u could find was an Acer, then i conclude you did not look at self-building. I built my system myself, which gives me maximum freedom a mac will never offer me.
antalz 2 years ago
"what do i care where microsoft gets their stuff from, as long as it works"
thats the thing... IT DOESNT WORK!!! crashes, errors, freezing, lagg. you call that working? wow.
no i sayed that WASNT an acer. acer may be cheep but thats because you will spend 1000 dollars in repairs.
i didnt calculate building it yourself because that takes a while. i have done it before and its nothing special. when you think about it. the money you use to upgrade your pc in 3 years you could buy a brand new mac
aegnt09 2 years ago
Vista works fine here. I got this peculiar crash when i switch in and out of UT2004, but thats where the problems end. Never got strange lag, nor freezing.
Also, the PC i mentioned is not an Acer. It is assembled by the PC shop. And when searching that site some more, i found dozens of PCs under 600 bucks, not Acer, and most of the times more powerfull than a mac mini. But still, with the specs they had, vista might not be that great of an idea = |
antalz 2 years ago
why the hell does everyone hate vista??? its the same as xp only with more security, a slicker look, widgets... im mean gadgets, and control alt delete actually works finally.
and windows 7 is just vista with a dock, sound familiar? multi touch... iphone couch couch... and easier to remove hardware.
there is no way your computer isnt running slow, eroring, crashing, or freezing.
unless u dont do anything on it.
i tried to install a simple program a few days ago and it crashed everything.

i got a C2Q q6600@ 3 GHz, 8 gigs ram [gotta love superfetching], 9800GT. Gaming quite alot, running tons of things next to each other, like atm:
teamspeak, msn, xfire, asus gamerOSD, utorrent, fraps in idle, few mozilla, few folders open, few conversations open, steam in background, razer program for mouse, OCZ thingy for keyboard, monitor adjustment proggy, and all the while windoes has the security stuff in the background.
Not sure about what ur doing wrong, but it feels very responsive.
antalz 2 years ago
how can u do anything wrong. you open things.
i havnt used windows in about 2 years, except gaming and at school. but mac has been able to do this for a long time now with no lag. windows still has major problems.
aegnt09 2 years ago
I cant see any real problems that windows has at this moment. As i said, my system feels very responsive. Dont forget that vista improved alot over the years. Also, i forgot to say that i can run those processes while gaming, without any problem.
Also, windows 7 will be alot better than vista: kernel improvements, more file formats, better UI [read: a more recent MacOS is ripped] better multi-core performance, handwriting, better batery on laptops, more secure, bitlocker, and some other stuff
antalz 2 years ago
i have windows 7 beta.
the only difference is it has a dock... sound familiar?
it runs the same as vista, the remove hardware is easier to manage.
changing the kernal will only stop some viruses affecting system files. just wait a year untill there are more... again.
but the most of the old viruses still run on 7.
aegnt09 2 years ago
aegnt09 2 years ago
windows 7 will feature better boot time and better overall performance, mainly because XP will be virtualized, so that it no longer is ballast on the OS. Mutlicore will be used better, more file types supported, better hardware support, encryption, battery saving stuff, handwriting recognition.
And while windows does this, they're also copying more of Mac's UI! Aint it great?
antalz 2 years ago
That's because Microsoft already had most of those as free updates. Windows Seven is to streamline windows vista. Oh and BOUNCING WINDOWS is pretty much doing what windows can. I would love to see Microsoft pull the plug on bootcamp . Mac would plummet.
TheMage9526 2 years ago
No, mac wouldn't plummet. i would still stay with mac.
Microcrap cant pull the plug on bootcamp unless they made their own computers and only allowed windows to be put on them. which they wont do. plus they are a software company. they make money off bootcamp.
aegnt09 2 years ago
What I'm trying to say is that if you weren't alowwed to run microsoft in any uncertified computers (Macs) they wouldn't be able to do what most people use their computers for. They would only be making money from the people that need the macs for hardcore photoshop and the like. Also why you go buying your Mac every one to two years to stay with the "in" crowd I could always upgrade my own PC without paying another 1000- 2000 dollar computer.
TheMage9526 2 years ago
1. People only rely on windows for the first year of switching. I now ONLY use windows for games.
2. Macs start at $600
3. Mac pro can be upgraded. you don't need to buy a new computer.
aegnt09 2 years ago
and i forgot the best part: better calculator.
antalz 2 years ago
mac has a better calculator. you simply click the middle mouse button and the calculator widget is in the middle of the screen waiting for you. not including a unit converter, translator, calendar, weather, some games, or anything you get off apples site.
aegnt09 2 years ago
you can get the exact same widgets for microsoft. they're awesome copycats, it appears,
antalz 2 years ago
even the notepad on vista looks EXACLY the same as the one in mac. yes Microsoft are experts in copying other companies. they are like those chinese imitations.
here is a drawback of win 7, they got rid of inkball.
one kool thing i like about it tho is it has an animated startup. four glowing orbs spin around and go into the windows sign.
aegnt09 2 years ago
Even notepad? Well, no worry! There's a fix! Just change the windows appearance! the copycatting will fade away.

My guess is that the games I had running at the time were not supported for Mac, yet.
At this point many Online games are made for Windows or Dos first, then for Linux,.. then in a few years they might make a version of the client for Mac but the long running ones tend to not make a Mac version.

not only that, but they basicaly copied the dock in windows 7. in the quick start bar, when you start a program there, there isnt a bar on the task bar. the program just lights up in the quick start bar, and if you start a program not in the task bar, it shows up. almost exactly like the dock in osx.

Also - If OS X is so perfect, why the hell would you need Vista? Vista is more perfect in every way - I use Common Sense 2009 Plus Edition anti-virus and I've gotten only one which AVG free took care off. Vista isn't bloated and my computer runs it quite well. OS X is for losers who would be better off flushing that money down the toilet, but hey, at least you got an aluminum pizza box.

See the problem with this whole ad is the fact that the Mac they tested is worth apx. $4000. The most expensive PC they tested was closer to $2600. Fact is, they tested software that was by far more expensive and thus it was capable of running better benchmarks.
