RE: Mac vs PC: Has Microsoft Gotten Lazy?

I don't really think so, at least they haven't had 10 operating systems in 10 years, like Apple.

I used an iMac for 3 hours my senior year, for half the school year, and I still was lost in just about, however I did learn enough to restart it, and make it think it just did a OS X installation, so I set up an account, to disable the parental controls on the student account on my computer, lol.

It may be quick to learn, but the OS in general only has one thing I would use, and that's Photo Booth.

I have no need for Garage Band, or iMovie, etc. I have my prefered video editor.

Coming from a windows user, the first time using a mac is difficult but getting used to it is a very quick process and didn't take me long at all lol.

I did engage you in this and now I'm ending this. In my opinion it was a good video response to a smug apple lover.

Well, I don't have a Bill Gates picture, like that, lol.

Well, I consider a Mac a PC, in all honesty, because PC means personal computer.

Mac OS's UI hasn't changed a whole lot, compared to Windows, from XP to even 7.

I had the hardest time getting around OS X the first time I used it.

I went from using XP to Vista and 7, without any problems, and Vista and 7 are really different from XP.

You engaged me in this, by posting on my video.

lol, the taskbar feature is an expanded upon feature known for so long as quick launch, present since Windows 98, and the Aero Peak and Expose do completely different things in completely different ways, while they offer the same advantage, browse open windows easier and faster.

[technowizard101]

Give it a rest. I have forgotten the reason why this is even an arguement.

Windows 7's task bar and Aero Peak are clear inspirations from Apple's Dock and Expose.

Have you ever seen the docudrama "Pirates of Silicon Valley?"

It's a docudrama told by Steve Wozniak, one of the co-founders of Apple, and how Microsoft and Apple started, and stuff.

Actually, Windows has had a search feature since Windows 95 or so, in the start menu it was called 'Find'.

Name one GUI feature...

So, Windows can't have a chess game?

Chess isn't a game reserved only to Apple, and it's the lamest example, ever.

Fair enough, people have opinions and preferences. That's fine. AppleSoldier is one of those really cocky apple fanbois who can't wake up in the morning without kissing his huge steve jobs picture. Macs and PCs both have their place and its the users choice on what they choose. Although i prefer Mac OS, I still like and use windows but in my opinion, Mac OS is a more polished and 'user friendly' experience.

The imac in the pic is three years old, they haven't been made like that for a while. You need to check your facts before you make random claims about a company and try to prove it with a quick picture off google images.

[CJCA915]

I admit I prefer Microsoft Windows over Mac OS, but like I said, AppleSoldier is a fanboy, more so than I will ever be.

I have used both systems, so I am not just looking at this from a Microsoft/ Windows or Windows PC perspective.
