I quoted more then one quote... so i just said that mac's are over priced for about the same hardware.

I'm running both Mac OS and Window XP on my Macbook Pro.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="DireToad"]Why wwould you want to use a Mac anyways?SolidSnake35

Subjective, I use Vista at home, MAc OS X in College ... I find it pretty much the same in user friendlness, its slower (Naturally due to hardware though)

No Viruses? Viruses are useless anyway, none of them you get pose a threat... Ive had viruses and adware for years not once has it effected me, free software deals with it anyway.

Dock and Expose is different to putting stuff on the desktop how really? .. I got the same thing with the windows tray or better yet sidebar >>

... last point is very very subjective, I dislike it alot.

Ohh that, I thought you meant the application tray, yea Expose is good, but cmon .. it saves like half a second?

Mac is overrated. I own a Macbook and while I think the hardware is outstanding. The actual OS is nothing special, I'm still trying to find out what makes it better than Windows XP.

Leopard will cost me extra right? Still I don't think Tiger is "better" than XP, I think the term "different" is a better word to describe it. I would rate them both equal.

On worse hardware, Mac OS X runs faster on my Mac than XP does on my PC. Expose is great. I can flick through my open windows much faster than I can using the taskbar. Though Microsoft, through Vista, did attempt to copy it, naturally.SolidSnake35

your performance estimations might be subjective too.

as you see xp and osx trade of in different benchmarks but in gaming XP beats OSX most of the time. this combined with the fact that windows gets more games makes it a no brainer for ppl interested in pc gaming.

My laptop which i generally don't use for games dual boots linux and xp. I didn't have to pay a premium for a proprietary system because i know what i'm doing.

Alot of companies are starting to have life time waranties too for single hardware pieces. Very popular among ram and video cards..

No viruses? read up, Macs can get viruses, just not as easily as PC's can get them and there aren't that many Mac viruses anyways.

nope, mainland Europe, but my sister works at this Mac affiliated company so they can probably give me a little discount.

Too bad all you PC gamers are marooned in Windows Vista, if you game on a console you can choose your OS.007_jamesbond

...Huh? :?

If you're saying that its better to have a Mac and a console than a gaming PC and a console, then you are wrong. Macs are more expensive and have poor game support.

If thats not what you're saying, then I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

that is true. The thing is that with windows you can get virusses from about every angle and funny enough even through the Microsoft Update system.

Like I stated before, my use of XP has been enjoyable and that's mostly because I know my way around all these problems windows poses, but if you have a mom or sister who don't know much about pc's. Mac is obviously the better choice.

cheer I have a pc that runs windows and maybe then I can mod a console so it can toast bread :D

seriously what the hell is the point of this topic ?

this is so stupid I have a console so I can buy a mac 2 ?? whooptyF*ckingDOO cheers for you

what's the point of that and why would it be better ?? I have 1 machine that does all why would I want a mac and a stupid console for kiddy games ?

Cmon, have any of you guys heard of bootcamp? you can have vista/xp and OS X on your harddrive if you really love the OS that much. I'm a gamer, I could care less about that flashy stuff, I care about performance.

yeah but wat about the hardware, it all boils down to performance as you said and

REAL GAMERS + MAC =CRAPPY PERFORMANCE

More user friendly, faster OS, no viruses, easy navigation (dock and expose), and just generally more enjoyable to use.SolidSnake35

gimme 20 minutes and I could write code for a virus in OS X that would screw over your entire system. The only reason it "doesn't have viruses" is because none of the guys that make viruses even bother with Mac's because nobody has them. If they even held a 5% market share, you would see viruses. Simple as that. Trust me, OS X is not invulnerable to viruses as Macintosh wants everyone to believe....

I'm not trying to say that consoles can run three OS's. I'm trying to say that if you game on a console then you can have a computer that runs any OS you want. You don't have to use your computer for gaming, therefore, you don't have to use Windows.

You do know that some people duel boot right? I game on xp and also run SUSE.

yes there is some truth to what you're saying but even in overall terms of viruses osx and linux are more safe than windows.

windows is just built up from fail

f a program crashes, I have to restart Windows. xooco

Thats bacaause no one is using it. If you switch the number of mac users and the number of pc useres there would be more viruses on the mac then pc.

Macs are awesome!!! I lover paying hundreds if not thousands extra for underpowered hardware along with a ton less application support!!!!

You people act as if Vista or XP crash constantly and virus' are rampant. Both are untrue, unless you're running your computer like a 13 year old girl.

Windows Blackcomb is built from the ground up.

that is so wrong its not even funny.... The only reason Windows has viruses is because all of the hackers and programmers know tricks to get around the system. Thing is, Windows has LAYERS UPON LAYERS of Anti-Virus protection built in. OS X and Linux don't. Techinically, its a thousand times easier to hack into OS X than it is to get through Windows, but through trial and error, people have figured out Windows and can hack it easier. Honestly, if a hacker was given a week, maybe two weeks, he could literally destroy a Mac with viruses. Windows gets a bad rep because its the most popular and therefore has more people ready to tear it down but it is honestly the best OS. People need to understand that and realize Microsoft isn't out there to "Steal" your money with a crappy OS. They hire the BEST programmers around and go through millions of hours of QA and debugging. The fact that 99.9% of computers run on it only amplifies the chances of a bug being found and having those people complain. Vista is honestly the BEST OS I have ever used considering its age. It is just as stable as XP at this point and has very few issues. Just because there is a vocal minority that complains out the arse, doesn't mean Windows Vista sucks. Just need to point this out to EVERYONE. Vista is built differently from former Windows OS's, and people screw it up because they treat it like an old OS... If you use Vista properly, it is easier to use and much faster than XP. It also runs better. Games only have issues because drivers suck at the moment but nVidia is going to fix before Crysis which is their marker for the latest time they can release stable drivers... Vista requires more resources because of its built in functions that honestly, I now consider necessary. Aero is extremely complex code wise, and the Side-Bar requires tons of resources because of the way it functions. Turn those two things off, and Vista runs on fewer resources than XP.
