how many times, I've heard that Microsoft copies Apple... now I see the opposite, so... I think there's no reason to defend the O.S your prefer, because, is your taste... don't try to show that 7 is better o vice versa.
Wow you failed so bad. A lot of these features are already on the current mac os Leopard like expose, live preview, and yes quick time run in full screen just like windows media player also removes the windows borders. If you want to try out the new features of windows 7 just buy a 2 year-old Mac.
Well done for showing that windows has had a lot more movability and file drag and drop options than Mac for ages... and Snow Leopard is showing off features we on PCs have had for ages. Why, well simple PCs are more complicated beasts. Most mac users like thinsg simple so didnt even know we could do that stuff. To be honest most PC users dont know that stuff is there for them to use anyhow but atleast the features were there even if you didnt know it.
yeah well at least my windows doesn't crash..cause my mac does. yes I own both and windows is more stable these days...its a fact. Both the macs freeze and crash.
First off, core i7 mobility Chips JUST came out and as of yet are not available on ANY entry-level laptops.
Secondly, none of the Win7 features shown in the video are anything like the Snow Leopard features. On top of that, A LOT of the features that C/net guy mentioned have been available for Leopard, which was released back in 2007.
On top of that, Windows 7 isn't released yet. That's a Beta. Apple has closed Beta tests
Now lets see what will happen if we surf the net for a while without any virus or malware protection on either. Oh, and while we are comparing the two, lets install maybe 50-60 programs on each and then remove them and see how much bigger the Windows registry gets. Speaking of removing programs, show us how its done in Windows vs OS X. Thats a little different. Also it looked like you were not dropping that pic into mail, but word. Not really the same after all.
i had a Mac mini, the computer was ok but i hated OS 10' It was too boring and too gray. There was hardly any software on the web except a few open source programs. I love Windows
Well if you run a Mac long enough your going to get owned too because Mac viruses exist also... and thats why they sell antivirus software. Atleast PC owners are proactive. Mac uwsers deny the threat. Thats asking for more trouble if you dont keep up with latest threats. However Mac is only 8% market share thats why there arent many viruses out for them.
Really? Tell me, just how long do I have to run my Mac until I get infected? Its been over a year so far.
True , some Mac viruses exist, but they are very few and almost never seen in the wild. While at the same time some experts say there are over 100,000 new infections created for Windows daily. I don't see how you can even compare the two.
Nobody seems to be bothered writing really bad viruses for Macs, perhaps because its users are more sedate and non technical... I bet you when a bad boy crew decide to kill your Macs - it will be a total decimation because mac users are oblivious to the treats and dont seem to care so will not see it coming and wont know how to recover from it easily. Thats my opinion and a prediction. Macs are tools like Pc they can be instructed to be destructive just like PCs. mac viruses will come.
Yeah, people have been saying this same thing for years. As many Mac haters like you that are out there you would think there would be more viruses made for the Mac, but there is not.
I download and run an antivirus on my Mac about every 4 months just to be sure. It always comes up clean.
Most PC only users get all pissed off about the fact that Macs are so much more secure than Windows. Don't worry, you are just normal.
Being that OS X Leopard is a Unix based OS, installing programs is similar to installing them on Linux--in that you enter an admin password and user name before the program is installed. There are viruses for Mac, but you have to be pretty naive to enter your admin name and password to install it. I mean, you have to enter this, that and then click continue and all that stuff just to install a virus on your Mac. On a PC, you can get infected just by sitting around without anti-virus on PalTalk.
truthseeker, that's not really true. The only viruses I've seen for Mac require you to enter your admin name and password in order to get infected. I bought Virus Barrier X for my Macbook Pro, and it was a waste of $75. It's just a peace of mind. There's not much risk for virus infection in the Mac world. dragonballjiujitsu was right.
Well the types of functions you need to authorise yourself for are system functions such as control panel functions. Viruses need not ask your permission because they dont need to gain access to control panel in order to run commands to say delete files from your hard drive or modify code. Infact if I jumped on your Mac and pressed delete, would your mac go , No sorry you cant delete". Or what if I load a config file and save it again. So whats stopping a virus doing the same.
truthseekers: "Infact if I jumped on your Mac and pressed delete, would your mac go , No sorry you cant delete". Or what if I load a config file and save it again. So whats stopping a virus doing the same."
I already told you. I think you've never used OS X Leopard before, because if you had, you would know that nothing can be installed on a Mac without your admin password and user name. Nothing. No virus. No normal program. Nothing. It's not like Windows. It's far more secure.
Not correct. Macs install by simply copying files to directories. It doesnt use a registry so by definition any program copied into a folder is ready to run. So there are no blocks on copying files onto a Mac, so a virus could copy itself around as much as it wanted which is as good as an install. Yes I have used many types of Mac OS. The only thing which is secure is if you try to use a standard installer, which will then ask for password. Copying stuff or modifying, no password required!
That's not true. You have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing can go on that hard drive without admin name and password. Macs just don't get viruses, not without the user's help.
I have no idea what im talking about. jesus dude, open a mac folder, right do you have it open. Are you looking at that folder open. Now put in a CD rom, Open it, are you looking at its contents, some files pics etc. Drag and drop those files onto your open folder. There they copy across. You have got files from a Cd rom onto your hard drive. Did you need a user name and password for that. Eeeeeediot. This is how programs can get on too. If you so choose to copy them. Sheesh.
Yes. But, you have to put those files in the folder by sitting at the computer. Someone can't do that while you're on the internet unless they're in that 1% of people who build operating systems. Even then, it wouldn't be worth their time. I know what you're saying, but that's done by the user in front of the computer. It can't be done by someone online.
Really Mac users are so lame, if they dont know how files go on their hard drive and that this is an everyday happening... having to explain this to a Mac user. No no no, nothing can get on my mac because in a tard who doesnt know what really makes his Mac tick. Yeah you need mac, you deserve mac, mac is for da stoopids. You need a user name and password to access you brain dude.
The chances of getting a virus on a Mac are about as rare as getting one on Linux. It's just a rare thing. It's like finding a shark's tooth on the beach. Go try and find one. That's about how rare it is to get a Mac virus. The only reason I have anti-virus on my Macbook Pro is a peace of mind and it also prevents me from sending infected files to PC friends.
If you want, I can always send you my logs from Virus Barrier X5, and you can see just how many viruses I've eradicated over the 2+ years I've owned my Macbook Pro and surfing the net nearly every day. Viruses just don't happen on a Mac. You can keep telling yourself that, but it's just not true.
when u compare a mac to a pc, the pcs are gay as well as lame, even ubuntu owns stupid windows ass, dude u dont know shit about software so shut the fuck up. there were so many things that u tried to replicate on windows but it kinda failed, like bringing the photo to the mail, what was ms word doing there, the media player was also a fail. this was not funny at all
I'm primarily speaking of trojan application viruses and other viruses. A Mac user doesn't get infected by surfing the net. It's an extremely rare thing. Dude, I've had Virus Barrier X by Intego on my Macbook Pro for nearly two years or more. Macs just don't get viruses by surfing the net. It takes the user's intervention. Sure, you can place files in folders, but that won't infect a Mac. Sure, anyone can infect themselves if they purposely wish to. I'm speaking of viruses in the wild.
Yes but when you say i dont know what im talking about you hadnt read my msg properly because I was specifically talking about file copying and your own installation of programs without using the Mac installer. you could get a myriad of files which coudl be infected on to your hard drive through downloading them from the net to a folder on your drive or by cd rom or memory hcard etc and putting them on yourself. If you run these files it will infect a mac as macs dont know what viri are.
Nope, that's not true either. You see, you're missing something. Sure, you can place a virus file in a folder yourself; however, it wouldn't be a trojan, because trojans are application viruses, and they must be installed on a system to even work. In order to install an application file, you must enter your admin name and password. As for other viruses, they're just not out there. They're rare as finding a shark's tooth on a beach. I'm proof. It just never happens. I'm online as much as anyone.
truthseeker666: "If you run these files it will infect a mac as macs dont know what viri are."
Nope, it won't. I'll say it once more. I have Virus Barrier X5 by Intego (the best anti-virus for Mac), and I've had my system for two years. I have not picked up a virus by surfing the net the entire time. They just aren't in the wild. It's just not reality. It doesn't happen. It's like finding a shark's tooth on a beach, dude.
Ok, lets be clear here now people who use Macs dont think they are at risk from viruses. If they do what I say and havent got what you are running, ie they dont have antivirus software then they are wide open so I am correct. You are covered because your running AV software. Macs arent safe, you have made yourself safe by running AV software. Macs are wide open as far as most users are concerned though. As I stated no passwords required to run an app in a folder. This is correct.
Not really. Because, even though I have anti-virus on my Macbook Pro, it's never encountered a virus while surfing the net. If it did, it would sound the alarm (i.e. female voice). Sometimes, I feel like I wasted $75 on Virus Barrier X. Macs just don't have viruses, dude. I mean, finding one is like finding a shark's tooth on a beach. It just doesn't happen. That's all I'm saying. My anti-virus logs prove it. It's been two years. Anyway, I'm done. Think what you want.
You can drop a pic directly into a mail, i do it all the time. Outlook and Outlook Express. You just have your mail open and drag and drop from desktop or from any program where you can see the pic and in it goes. Juts drag down to the taskbar and hold on the mail yopur writing icon, wait 1 second, it pops up keep holding your button down and drag pic into mail and release. We have had this since windows98!!!
if your trying to say that all of windows 7 is copied from mac,you wrong,microsoft started working on windows 7 almost at the same time as mac started snow leopard ... when snow leopard was released windows 7 was almost in the RC stage ...
hahahaha i cant stop laughing, like ppl say that windows copied mac but i c different, even at keynote they keep making fun of windows. now i c it goes both ways...haha...u cant say mac get's its own idea anymore....i loved watching this video..lol...good job. 5 stars<<<i rate u.
