Why doesnt everyone like mac?

Some of you guys have said that windows computers arent that "hard" to use. Well obviously you can use it but the macs are just easier. Windows tend to slow down drastically over a short period of time whereas the macs take a lot more time to slow down and run very smoothly. The reason I say that windows can be hard to use is that they frequently freeze up and dont run as smoothly. Even high spec windows pcs can freeze up which is painstakingly annoying and the worst thing about this is that it cant be avoided. Look guys, just try a mac for yourselves, those of you who havent got one, for a while and see the difference. Honestly I have had my macbook pro for while now but I still feel just as excited to use it as the day I bought it, quality stuff.

I've had my XP system for over three years and it hasn't slowed down a bit. I also do not experience crashes at all. You obviously have little experience with Microsoft OS's.

again, many of you state that price and games are the biggest issues. Why dont we just put that aside for a moment and think of the macs themselves instead of just thinking of the price. The macs arent just expensive for no reason, and also I dont see how the price makes the machine itself worse. Windows are great value for money and they do have games but macs are just more smoother. No wonder why most businesses use macs to allow for ease of use and less frustration. Its a wonder why none of you guys have commented about viruses yet...

Put the cost aside??? Sure, everyone has money to just throw away...

And I have never, ever worked for a company that uses Mac's. And I've worked for some of the largest banking, information management and IT businesses in the country....

I really don't know where you get this info about freeze up issues in a Windows based PC vs. a Mac, which you say is painstakingly annoying, not getting any of that here.....and the quality vs. quality issue your referring to...I'll put my PC's quality up against ANY Mac you like.........I don't really have any issues with Mac's (except one), if that is what someone wants for whatever reasons, that's fine......but sorry Apple products are wayyyyyyyyy over prices and under powered. And a far as ease of use, I have no problems with Windows. I will say that there have been some not so great versions of window along the way...ME was total junk and Vista was almost but it's now running as the version it should have been from the beginning as W7, which is total awesome !..Not to mention the years of stability with XP and 2000....even people were reluctant to not give up Win 98 because it worked well.

I'm glad you feel as happy using your mac book now as the first day you got it...that's great.....what gets me is that Apple users tend to hold themselves in a higher realm of esteem over PC users....PC's will do anything mac's will and more for less because not everyone can't afford a mac...and don't even get me started on my iPhone :roll:....BTW this should really be in system wars...I'm out !

AHHHHHHHHH ...Pleaseeeeeeeee....99.9% of the world = PC users.......... .1999999% of the world = mac users .........DO THE MATH !

I honestly don't see how macs are any easier to use than pc's. Tauruslink

They aren't. It's called hype + elitists = mythological Apple greatness.

there is a lot of reasons to not to use Mac. I guess it is better in some aspects, but I it is nothing beside advantages you have using PC..

1. Many greatest games do not exsist on Mac... so pitty

2. I see no reason to install windows on Mac: You do not buy a Mac to install Windows on it.... Being "superior", Mac is unable to run many stuff, as windows does, maybe not the best way, but it does...

3. Refined and exlusive design brings a lot of problem: expandability, space parts are much more expensive....

In conclusion, If you have a farm, you´ve got to buy a tractor, to carry the cr.p... not a shiny Ferrary, which wont last a minute.

Mac's aren't really that bad for a PC but they're kinda expensive (everyone's already saying that)

Also, most games seem to be more for Windows than for Macs so it depends on the person when it comes to what to use. For gamers, I say Windows.

Beacuse it has weak performances

well- i have both mac and windows computers in my house- and for general use office type stuff and surfing the net and say porn- well ya- mac is better maybe- but you have way more codec problems using macs and for sure macs are not worth a crap for pc gaming-

i am a pc fps or combo fps rpg gamer- and well macs are great for 1978 pong type games civ etc- they are not worth a crap for playing modern computer games and or you only get a few titles to run on macs- and you for sure get way less game patches for macs too- my self- i do not need a computer at all if not gaming- and i will never own or use a console-

1 more pc mac fact- i have to have a windows pc on hand to use all of the millions of programs i cant use on my mac systems- so in the great scheme of computers for the most part a mac is useless for me- other than some fake mac versus pc cute commercials on tv- windows pc's are more practical and can do millions of things i can not on my macs- so- i say why buy or own the macs to start with.

by the way- widows pc's are 90% of the market for a reason- if you want to spend more money for less options- by all means buy a mac- if you only have simple computer use needs and dont mind spending extra for it and have no intentions of upgrading your system other than maybe some ram- by all means buy a mac. mac arguments are silly to say the least- no matter what- to each his own.

sorry- i will add- my advise is- if you want to buy a mac you might as well buy a cheap windows system too- then you can do all you cant do with your over priced mac system.. and ya- you have more maintenance with windows pc's- but if you stay on top of it and security and scans- well you do not have the said slow downs- its comical to compare macs to windows pc's- it truly is..

take care- see ya...

Some of you said that the things that I say suggest that I have very little experience with windows. Well I have experience with windows, all my life has been with windows and I only actually started using macs until recently. Also there are many businesses that use macs and I have been to many highly known company establishments and have used the macs that they have there. Obviously the businesses you have worked at have not upgraded to wiser choice and use macs.

well what is the point of arguing with you folks- its 100x more companies using windows than is macs- and 90% of all of the computer world uses windows pc's- you will not listen to facts or practicalities- so do what you want- for any to waste more time on this conversation is foolish-

as you and i said- if your computer needs are limited and you do not mind spending more money for it- by all means buy a mac- you can say you protest the big guy or something- so what.. but in all honesty thats all you have or can say- i protest windows and pay more money for less options or maybe i have a crush on the lil mac dude in the mac versus windows tv commercials- my self- i say- i have way way more common sense- so.

I guess it must be that alternate dimension you are living in, where if it's a "highly known company establishment".... they are using Mac's because they have seen the light due to their (as you put it) wisdom of "upgrading" ? ...Is that how those business you are referring to have now become a "highly known company establishment" ?

Gee...I guess the other 98% of the business in this country and around the world that are using PC systems better get with the program if they want to compete...according to your "facts".......or they might as well lay off all their employees and lock the doors because of their lack of the ability to upgrade to the wiser choice.....:lol:

Dont make me laugh, of course macs are much more advanced and faster for businesses to use. Well I guess if 98% of businesses use pcs then thats 98% of the companies that get virus and any other problems that are associated with the windows systems.

Macs are for simple people to use , pc's are far better for just about anything , really mac has nothing over windows im suprised they are still on the market... probly becuase of the ipod lol . Although i have experienced more problems on windows it still seems to be a far better os in my opinion.

Hahahahaha.

The fail is strong in you, young padawan. Utter nonsense :lol:

I guess all those companies using Microsoft Office, DirectX, Visual studios, Autodesk applications, Windows Servers and countless other are morons and all get virus and need to format their OS computer as soon as they boot it, right :lol: ?

Wow a lot of you seem to say that windows is better, interesting... Maybe mostof you havent actually tried mac yet for a long period and used it to the best of its ability.

bm1212

In the business world? Windows, due to it's benefits when using server based OSes such as 2008 server and the incorporation of Outlook with Exchange 2007.

In the home? What ever tickles your fancy. Trust me, this is nothing but what you are use to, the applications you use, the money you are willing spend, and marketing. Personally, I'd venture to use Windows 7 over the Mac OS due to my personal preferences but YOU should not have the right to insult people in making the same choice. Sure, if they come and state something factitious then you have a right to correct them but don't insult them for their purchases.

Once you get over the fact that people enjoy different things and just accept what you have, the more you can enjoy your system without having to defend or attack others regarding it.

What you think that I actually need to justify my purchase, all of you guys who say that pcs are better just havent thought about shelling out the cash to get one. Maybe you should make the investment and buy a machine that actually satifies. Macs are much more reliable, fast and secure. Yeah sure the windows computers can come with better specs but the actual mac os doesnt allow for viruses and freeze ups. Literally as soon as you click to open an application, it comes up faster than you can say WOW! And also macs last a hell of a lot longer than your average windows pc. I know some people who have had the same mac for over 10 years with no breakdown or problems with hardware. Plus another thing about macs are that they just arent horrendously ugly unlike their windows counterparts. Macs look stunning, modern design encased in an undeniably beautiful aluminuim casing. I just hate looking at those cheap looking, plastic and tatty windows pcs. No one can deny saying that macs are stunning looking machines and anyone who does deny this know deep down inside that they are just lying. Plus no one still is discussing matters about viruses, isnt that strange?...

I know people that has almost 20 years old PCs and hasn't had any breakdown (what's this supposed to mean anyway?) hardware problems either.

bm1212

Yes, because we all know you are utterly wrong about viruses and are making yourself look ridiculous when trying to talk about it.

And PC cases can be customized any way you want, so this whole argument is utterly meaningless too.

maybe this thread should be deleted and mac users ban- they just want to argue and push lying garbage- over 90% of computers used on this earth are windows pc's- again i have both systems and hey macs have its slow times and yes they get viruses too- these people [mac] are just trying to get attention and start trouble- maybe gs should ban them- if macs was so freaken great maybe just maybe they would eat into the over 90% world of windows use- they cant and will not period.

as a fact my windows systems run like a top and put the macs in the house to shame they [my windows systems]boot up fast load fast and never crash and ive never had a virus either- some new buggy game might give it trouble but thats it period- i get sick of the stupid and none factual arguments- only an idiot would pay more for less and a mac is less for more money- mac users make up junk and pass it around- after a while lies become urban myth and then they swear its fact- enough already- this or these said mac users are only trying to start arguments- please gs lock this thread or something..

ha ha i love my xp and i only use ie6 too- ive had w7 hp upgrade sitting here since 10-23-09 and in no hurry to install it- as a fact- if xp could get dx10 id sell or give away my 2 copies of w7.. ha ha i run my system with no security other than my firewall some 17 hours a day each and everyday 365 days a year when gaming- and no virus or problems- gs really should lock or delete this junk trouble making thread..

And plus the reason why most of the world dont use macs is because they dont have the budget to.

Haha its so amazingly easy to see you guys angry. Haha think my argument as money no object and that you only ever pay the most money for something that is the best in its class. I see that all of you pc users are already quite tightly wound up and furious at the things that I have said and I cant say that I am not enjoying this. Haha how can something like computers become something that actually can play on peoples nerves. Anyway I am happy and frankly I dont really take into account all the things that you say, I just want to see all the kinds of rubbish you pc owners can actually come up with. Keep posting guys, HAHAHAHAHAH. :D

bm1212

Actually, you are the one coming up with rubbish. Most of us were just replying to you because the average Mac user needs to stop saying the crap Apple feeds them regarding their oh-so-powerful machines :| .

again- this guy is talking out of his head- and in his own words he is just trying to get attention and start trouble- this thread should be locked or deleted- mac is better than windwos at not 1 thing other than you can say you paid more for your mac period- i will not post in this thread again.

i will not play his game any more.. see ya:D

Lol I'm not forcing anyone to play the game, leave if you wish. Have fun on your windows pc...NOT! By the way when you have the money buy a real machine, and that machine is called a mac, not a windows computer. HAHAHAHAHA! :D

bm1212

/sarcasm

I'm sorry but most of us here are into games, let me rephrase that, all of us are into gaming and MAC is not for gaming, you can get a PC with the same specs for 1/4 of the price, if somebody has around 1.5K $ to spend on something, for gaming, they aren't retarded, they buy the best that they can get with the money, a PC that is at least 4-5 times as powerful as a MAC.

We'll call you when we go into business applications or emails ;) till then we'll happily game on our PCs that are more powerful than your MAC. Till then we'll have fun on our PCs, playing games and such, you should do the same on your MAC...NOT! If you don't have the brains to play the "game" then don't post on a gaming forum. But if you insist that your MAC is better than an 1.5K$ PC then give us some Crysis/WiC/etc benchmarks, sadly most of us really don't have the money to get an 15K$ PC to show you the best of the best from the PC side :( we are poor, but an 1.5K$ laptop surely is more than enough to make your top of the line MAC look like trash ;).

TC has convinced me. I'm going to throw my gaming PC in the trash, then flush some money down the toilet...I mean buy a Mac.

why are you asking that ?< here you know everyone is going to say GAMES!

I can almost guarantee that the TC's parents bought him his Mac. So his argument about "making the investment" is utter bullhonkey.

ok i will post 1 more time- um my pc's are rather beautiful- my [[[aluminum]]] antec p160 cases large see through window and my hand self made 120mm intake mods and large thermalright coolers either tr xp120 or tr si128 and white fans and uvlights what ever- gees- this guy is about silly- not to mention all of the other lovely windows pc's on earth and some with water cooling what ever- this guy has the nerve to say macs are better looking systems- im laughing so hard im about to piss my self-

and no- he may not even have a system his parents bought him other than the mac book what ever the lil cheap over priced thing is they did use in schools [ibook or something] mid and high school that is- and which by the way most all such school systems have changed over to intel lap tops- less cost and more options and upgrade ability- and they woke up and realized when the kids may go into the business world someday- well it is a windows world some 9 to1- so why teach kids to use a stupid mac os-im not sure what planet this guy is from. but ya- i have seen some mac case mods- but that is all you can mod- you have poor and very limited upgrade ability. ram is about it.

from the jump i have good security and keep up my system- i do not surf porn sites or game hack sites or no cd cracks or limewire type junk what ever stealing software- and i know about the fake your system has an infection junk- only idiots or them that should not be on line do not know such things or do not have or keep up security- or have some dell with pre installed junk that does not update any more after a year unless you pay extra every year- well most all my security is free- and ive never had a virus period..

i say again this thread should be deleted maybe even this guy ban he just wants trouble.

im tempted to post photos of macs versus my mod rigs- but he might kill him self- hmm. maybe i should post them. as a fact my mac friends drool over my rigs and hate the fact they cant play modern day games like i can- they have pong.. ha ha ha ha ha !!!!

see ya...
