That's a matter of opinion. Personally I wouldn't waste money on any apple product.

Actually, no Mac is by far better then PC.. Go do some research and you would know.

I hope that was not directed towards me. I am not brainwashed by Apple Products, I am only stating the facts. If any of you researched you would know.. Apparently, you all have not spent 5 years working on computers like I have.

Ahem, your opinion doesn't equal fact. I think even in fact if you were to compare the the Windows 7 GUI to the Snow Leopard GUI, you'd still end up with less keystrokes on the OS X, for equal tasks. I wouldn't say for sure about Windows 7, though, so Im going to leave it there (I'll dig up the research for you too if you like). With that said, this doesn't mean anything anyway if you're very familiar with one or the other. Which is just what Tripzone said in his first post.

Also speaking of fact, schoolhacker, that picture is already blatantly retarded already, and I already killed it in the battlefield. I will even quote my original post from that topic:

Braindead wrote:

See, most MAC VS PC threads are not based on facts but more on hatred. Just alike this one, there's plenty of malware alvailabel for OS X out there, don't play it safe and you'll be sorry. Talking about software customization. In Windows, you have Admin or Limited accounts. That's it. Admins can do everything and Limited accounts can basically do nothing. If you have kids or people that don't know what they're doing, they can wreak havoc on your PC with an admin account, but if you make them a limited account they won't be able to install software, run certain programs, or really do anything useful.

In OS X, Standard accounts can install software, but only to their own User account. Standard accounts can't make system-wide changes, can't install software system-wide, and can't do any damage outside of their own user account. This way on the off chance they somehow find a way to make their user account unusable, you just have to delete it and recreate it and everything is back to normal. In Windows, anyone who isn't an experienced power user is a threat to the entire operating system.

Still, if you really want a customizable computer you probably should get Linux anyway. And since 2 operating systems back, mac runs on intel. While you are not legally allowed to install OS X on non-apple branded hardware, it doesn't mean you can't. Which gives you the same customization choises as PC. Aka, Hackintosh.

So "twice the price", Microsoft charges $160 for Windows 7 ultimate, $500 for Office Pro, and say a really cheap laptop, around $500. In conclusion, $1160. Where a macbook $1000 includes both iLife and iWork, which is equal to Office Pro. Please do correct pricing (I used pricerunner, but it only showed swedish results), but here you have a proper comparasion. Of course, on PC, Office pro is optional, on OS X, iLife and iWork isn't. Pirate Office Pro and Windows 7 or get a Hackintosh you'll still end up with the same price. It seems to me, when peoples comparing price, they don't know what they are comparing.

Personally I sometimes get the impression that Apple is hiding its powerful OS under a user-interface-for-kids facade, (like leaving out features that could be really useful, but maybe are too complicated to the normal user), but then I think of how I feel Microsoft does it: Information overload. Throw everything into the users face and brag with features, even if most of the windows (dead by natural selection?) users have no idea what the technical words and functions are. Where I can only speak for myself, whenever I want to change a specific aspect of the Windows OS I always find myself spending hours clicking through an endless amount of confusing submenues to find what I want.

Also I found particulary interesting in this metaphor, I quote "with nothing to protect you from falling". Try just once connect your computer to the internet without "protection", i.e. firewalls, antivirus, etc.

Trying to keep an open mind.

I even try to argue with these peoples, with facts, but it seems a bit (no pun intended) useless when they can't even tell the difference between byte and bit lol: http://i50.tinypic.com/28rmzk7.jpg

Lol also Schoolhacker, At first I was like, why would anyone want to install Linux on a Mac? Todays modern Mac's come with all the nice Unix thingys you even need. That Mac OS X is essentially desktop Linux is just somewhat true however. Linux can be customized to a much higher degree, with the right knowledge of course. Where on OS X you don't really go about messing with the core system, but if you want to mess around with the Linux kernel? Go right ahead, and good luck to you.

Also I would like to adress the popular belief that Windows would be better because of the sole reason it is more common, with Nintendo's Game Boy as a comparasion. They had a strangelhold on the handheld gaming market throughtout the 90's, despite there was many other technologically far superior handheld console introduced during it's lifetime. Im not saying it is a perfect comparasion, Im sure there was some clever guys in their marketing department to keep it going so strong for so long.
