PC Vs Mac

I used to have a PC, now I'm into Mac. Actually the only reason I'm using Mac because I love the Mac Pro designs
 
MAC's are ok for people who don't work with others and don't want to share documents with PC users. Also you cannot buy nearly as many software titles. If you are in the business world MACs make your life more difficult. However, over the years Apple has made the MAC be able to interact more with the PC. Why would Apple do this? Because most of the world is PC.

MACs use to be faster in some cases when they were using the very powerful Power PC made by IBM. IBM still uses a similar processor in their very high end Power (RS6000) servers. However, now MAC went to Intel just during this last year.

Lots of schools use to have MACs as Apple gave very good incentives. I use to be an Admin for a large school district and also have friends doing so. Most of them have went to PCs to give the students better preparation for the business world where in 99% of the cases they will be using a PC in some way when they begin their working years.

I am not saying Microsoft is the best. However its whats known. Since OS X is mostly linux. You can get a copy of SUSE linux or any flavor you want and if you are savy you can easily get your version of linux to out perform a MAC any day. PC is the way to go.
 
I'm a PC guy. Windows XP crashes only rarely (less than once a month) for me (and I run some pretty intense stuff). I worked at a photo studio that got a new G5 Dual a few years ago. OS X definitely had some stability problems. We could crash it a few times per month (running PHotoshop mainly).

As far as I'm concerned, they're almost even stability-wise. XP is really quite good. There's a lot of reputation to deal with, and it's hard to break that.

Another reason...I'm addicted to TrackPoints, which means I'm stuck with IBM/Lenovo laptops.

Yet another reason...I've got a ton of Windows software.

Yet another reason...Pro|Engineer, a 3D CAD package exists for UNIX and Windows.

I know that the whole BootCamp package can let me run those pieces of software, but then there's the cost problem.

A PC will be cheaper for the same performance.

So, I'm stuck in PC land.
 
I'll take PC and Windows XP is very stable. I've never had a problem or a crash with it and find it very forgiving. I have no problem with MAC. They are a great machine although I find them used mostly in high graphics situations and with people who use a lot of graphics applications. I have an older MAC that still runs. I just prefer PC.
 
I used to have PC but never again. Macs are so much better. Never had a virus with a Mac and I always seem to have got them on a PC.

The OS X interface (desktop etc) is so much better then XP.

For those who are unsure visit apple.com and watch the TV ads. They are so funny.
 
1 thing that does shit me is people who have macs saying we cant get viruses it just not true if mac had the market share microsoft had there would be tons of viruses for macs but they dont go after the 3-5% that have macs because they can cause much more havok making a virus for windows

i would buy a mac but the only problem is that when i look at value i can get a better spec pc made for normally a few hundred dollars less

also i have never had stability issues with XP it seems that only mac users have these issues funny that
 
I got a fair bit of money for my birthday last month, and I think I will for christmas, so I'm considering buying a Mac to supplement my PC, if only to play around with it, to see if I like it.

I'm thinking about getting one of those Mac Mini's, and maybe a nice Apple monitor to replace my IBM LCD.
 
I run both, but I really prefer a PC. Mine runs stable and I never had problems with spyware or viruses. MacOS is not bad, but the software is not that good. And let's face it: it's terrible expansive.

It might also have to do with my really bad Mac related experience lately .

Even though I do my online banking only from my mac :)
 
Back in elementary school, our librarian taught us how to use Macs. Ever since then, I can't look at a Mac desktop without having a flashback of her unshaved armpits. #-o

Guess I'll stick to PC.
 
The only reason Macs never get viruses is because PC's are the standard around the world and that's what virus developers want to do, infect as many computers as possible. Can't do that by targeting Macs, not worth the effort.

With all this bragging about how Macs don't get viruses it wouldn't surprise me if somebody wrote one specifically for mac just to prove it can be done, and I hope they do just to prove a point. I'm sure Macs are not completely invulnerable.

If you are a PC user with half a brain, you don't get viruses anyway. I've been a PC user for many many years and have never once been infected. Sure, I have virus protection software but I'm not stupid. If you have a PC you do need it. However, it won't make me switch to Mac, ever.
 
i've only had win xp crash like 2-3 times in the 4-5 years i've had it. i've had software that after i install windows was screwed up, but windows xp hasn't just like crashed like 95, 98, or Me did.

i tried learning to use a mac in grad school and i couldn't ever seem to get the hang of it. I like PCs and i like being able to use linux when i want to (knoppix RULES).
 
I have both as well, and I believe they each have their place in the platform world. Of course, my Mac has a proper name (Chad) - while I just call my PC "bastard child". :D
 
PC -- I'm too lazy to learn a whole new computer routine and I've heard PC's are more user friendly.

There does seem to be a certain amount of snobbery amongst MAC users. There's this coffee house in the college town I live in where you'll only see MAC laptop users. You'd probably get coffee grounds thrown at you if you came in with a PC laptop!
