Do You Prefer PC or Mac?

I just built a PC to integrate into my theater system that holds all my music on a 750GB hard drive, with my HDTV as the monitor, a premium sound card feeding sound to my receiver, dual core processor, 2GB ram, etc... and Linux Mint OS, all for well under $500 total. Beat that, Apple.

I wouldn't dislike Apple so much if they (legally) allowed their OS to operate on more hardware.

They don't even make their own CPUs anymore, so there is no non-profit driven reason for this.

If Microsoft all of a sudden decided to sell its OS solely on pre-configured MS machines, then I can guarantee that antitrust lawsuits would be filed by countries around the world.

PC, I'm not a fan of non-standard computers.

Once i get a new graphics card for my PC then it's most definitely PC..

Hell yes! Welcome back :D

*ahem* Anyways, I prefer PC. You get better performance for cheaper, can customize it anyway you want, wide variety of games, and I'm simply more familiar with them.

PC, Macs are overrated, expensive pieces of out of date hardware. I still feel bad for a friend of mine who paid $3000 for a Mac that was weaker than my PC which cost half as much. Iantheone

[QUOTE="jam19911000"] My Mac is VERY handy for all the multi-tasking that I have to do in school (hence, everyday tasks). If I tried to run as many programs on a PC, it'd blow up!jam19911000

[QUOTE="groovdafied"][QUOTE="jam19911000"] Then explain why a Mac can start up and run programs WAY faster than a PC.magicalclick

My co-worker didn't installed crapware. He simply open 50 high resolution marketing photos using 50 photo viewer and complaint. :roll:

From an admin point of view, the Darwin system layout is kinda foreign to me. Little things like the hard drives/partitions not being under /dev/{sda,sda1...} confuses the hell out of me.

The GUI doesn't really impress me either. The dock, while being a much better idea than the Windows Start menu, isn't ideal for me. Something like KDE's Kickoff menu would work best for me.

That being said, I wouldn't call OSX a bad operating system, it's just weird to me.

I also deem it mandatory that I post this.

Lets see I could use an overpriced pile of Cow Turd shoved in an aluminum case and branded with an apple sticker. Or use a self assembled PC with top of the line parts, for much cheaper than previously mention pile of Cow turd.. That is a really tough decision that I may have to think long and hard abou.. PC!

I use Mac. I find it reliable.
