PC vs MAC the final showdown. (I think the war's over)

[Skip]

Not get viruses. Not crash (Unless it's really f*cked up).

"I'm a PC."
I never get viruses.
My computer has never actually crashed.

1.) Earn some money, boy.

Not get viruses. Not crash (Unless it's really f*cked up).

First of all, use grammar.

Second of all, the only reason that Macs don't get viruses is because it's not worth writing viruses for them. I've used this brown townogy before, but forget it.

Imagine you are a Self Delete bomber. Are you going to bomb the outskirts of Bumforget Kansas at 3 in the morning, or are you going to bomb a busy city street during rush hour?

That is, almost literally, the difference between PCs (~88% of the market share in OSes) and Macs (~11%)

1.) Earn some money, boy.
2.) Explain
3.) Not quite
4.) Flexibility?

1) There's a difference between overpriced and expensive. I'm fine with paying more money for good stuff, but why would I spend $600 on the cheapest Mac there is when I could build a similar PC with a better OS and better specs for the same amount?

2) Want to know how many pieces of hardware you can run OSX on? Only stuff made by Apple Computers. I just put together a computer with parts from 7 different manufacturers that I'm going to boot W7 on.

3) For every major piece of Apple software, I can almost guarantee that there are at least 10 equivalent softwares that run on Windows ranging in price from free to professional.

4) I've never experimented with a mac, but I can only imagine how inflexible and difficult they must be to reconfigure. Let me put it like this, I've never ran into a situation where Windows has inhibited me from doing something that I know is possible with a computer.

"Having a Mac is punishment enough."

[General Nick]

Here's a list of spyware that affects Mac OS X.

I tried to close Firefox on my mom's Macbook one time and it crashed.
1. Sorry, not willing to earn $3000 for a Mac when I can buy a $1000 Windows-based computer that does the same thing. Economics my friend.
2. Can Macs use the GTX 400 series? What about non-Intel processors? Can we even modify Macs at all?
3. iEvery loving noun in the English language, but nothing more than those applications.
4. I can't open up my Mac without giving up a child for Apple.

Quoted in case he ignores.

It doesn't matter... My household has used, uses, and will continue to use Macintosh.

I'm done with this argument. And if you've won? So what.
Macs can get a little thing called Bootcamp which allows me to use Windows on it... So what if it costs a tiny bit more.. So what if you don't care.

[Moybus]

It's funny, because if Mac is so great why would you need to rely on Windows in any way?

Windows has more programs and is undeniably superior at gaming. mac has no AA D;
that's what I got a windows vm for, anyways.




You guys are having a lot of trouble understanding that if you're like me, you choose Mac because you prefer the interface.
And in my experience Macs ARE more stable, my mom's HP is younger than my Mac yet she's already spent around 800 dollars for fixing problems it's had. It's constantly having problems, and I haven't had any trouble with my Mac.

so ya, i lurb my mac interface.

Windows would use a free program that lets you emulate an Operating System within the Operating System. Sunbox or something, it was called.

Has it occurred to you that maybe your mom bought a stuffty HP and is already bad with technology?

Sure, on Macs "Everything just works" but it does on Windows too if you KNOW WHAT THE forget YOU'RE DOING.

[Sabbin]

You don't NEED to, but at least it's better than spending $500+ for a whole new windows computer.

[General Nick]

You don't NEED to, but at least it's better than spending $500+ for a whole new windows computer.

So buying a $1500+ Mac and then paying like probably at least $10 for Boot Camp, then a copy of Windows for at least $100, is cheaper than buying a $500 Windows computer is what you're saying.

It's better than buying both if you want both is what I'm saying.

Hey, what happened to

Earn some money, boy.

Believe it or not, it's possible for computers to malfunction without an incompetent user! My mom is fine on a computer, and her HP costed 1000 dollars. if that won't buy you a decent computer, then Macs are hardly more expensive. My computer costed only 400 or so dollars more than hers -and still has better specs-, not 2000 (sorry to disappoint, general nick)

[Moybus]

at least $10 for Boot Camp

it's a free utility that comes built in on most macs, you have no idea what you're talking about.
