XP wasn't so bad.
Now Vista... I shudder at the thought of it.
Own both a macbook with OS X snow leopard and a windows 7 desktop.
love both equally. i like to edit video/pictures on my mac for my side job, and use my PC to play games on and just every day home computing. i have no gripes about using either of them. both excellent platforms.
I kind of hate Macs. I'd love them a lot more if they offered a little more flexibility, were cheaper then their incredibly expensive prices, and were actually useful for gaming.
But like, they aren't. They are awesomely streamlined and convenient and hip, but... yeah.
And consoles were even worse. :lol:To think just how awful PCs were when this video was made.

XP is just meh
but I reckon the Mac looks really nice and stylish. It's expensive and set me back $1300 but I like it.JasonDarksavior$1300... Mind telling the specs? The point is, even though casual users who look for style over performance would like it, someone like a tech geek would never consider spending that much on style.

But again, that alone isn't worth the price, and the so called "stylishness" shouldn't ever be taken into consideration if you're serious about computers.

Once Vista got updated it was fine.
I went from XP SP3 to Vista SP1 and found it to be a lot better.
It was a lot faster and had DX10+ support, I never got why people clung on to XP so badly... it's not that good at all.

But then Alienware laptops look ...Who cares? If you're a gamer, you shouldn't really care how they look.
What's wrong with this?
ok. Let's just leave it at here :)JasonDarksaviorOkay, let's look at it this way. Assuming you don't own all three consoles, did you choose your console based on outer looks?

Assuming you don't own all three consoles, did you choose your console based on outer looks? I own PS3 + 360 and chose my console based on the games it offers. However, I treat the computer has an everyday tool and I'm sure most people here do the same. You use it for school, work, porn, internet and for some gaming. I have my laptop on literally 24/7 and I look at extremely frequently. Of course I'll care what it looks like.
Meh. I'm a tech geek, and specs matter. I'd take the ugly Alienware with the specs anyday. Same exact price and specs? Then maybe I'd care about how my "tool" looks. Differnent strokes and all.

The Mac looks pretty standard. What's so special about it?
The alienware looks a lot better honestly.
But it doesn't have that "stylish" apple logo. :PThe Mac looks pretty standard. What's so special about it?

LOL You picked a fully touched up advertising photo and use a random user pic for the Macs?
Btw, that Mac on the right is extremelt outdated from a few years back. The new ones look different.
But you don't have a new one, you have one from like 2008, right?
Let me find an Alienware from 2008.
It doesn't look any worse than the Mac, I think they look about the same actually.
