PC vs Mac

[Madame Adequate]

Miriel, what you're saying makes sense for the real world, but this is the internet, where all that matters is presenting one's opinions as factual truth.

I guess Macs are more idiot-proof then .

I said the exact same thing to Tavrobel last night.

I don't see how Mac fanboys are any worse than Anti-mac people who just whine about how elitist Apple products and consumers are. Pfft.

Because I've never once seen a Windows user talk about how happy they are to be part of the Windows "community". I used to work with a guy who had a tattoo of the Apple logo on the back of his neck. When someone does that with Microsoft, it's this really weird and crazy thing. xP

I've seen those tattoos before on some people. It's kind of intense that they like their computers that much o_o;

I like my PC. I can dual boot into either Windows XP SP2 or Ubuntu (although I'm thinking of removing Ubuntu because I don't have any real use for it), and I am thinking of installing OSX onto this PC too.

EDIT: wtf@Zune guy.

Macs look cooler...

Which component inside a Mac makes it better than a PC?

How many of you guys have actually used a Mac as your main machine for any length of time? As far as I' concerned, only people who have used both Macs and PCs are eligible to make any real judgment on which is better, or at the very least, which they prefer.

I have used, abused, loved, and hated the mac. I grew up on macs. I grew up on apple, and before that, I grew up with a lazer 128. I am no elitist, I am just an old school badass.

Also, I have written my own drivers and hacked apart fourth just to get gentoo (Ricer for linux) working on an old school g3 mac. I know them in and out, and personally, I think they are cute. I am fairly neutral, as I think they have their place, but I still think the PC/Windows set up is superior.

I can easily say RPG Maker is the only reason I don't save up for a Mac. I have no problem with Windows (with the exception of Vista) I just prefer using Macs.

[Yew-Yevon]

I can't play Halo, Doom 3, Half life2, Unreal Tournament 3, Quake Wars, Farcry or Crysis on a mac. Nuff said.

[Ouch!]

You're arguing from a hardware standpoint when the only real differentiation between the two is software. Windows has a better software library while Macs are generally more user friendly. As someone who uses both, this is the only real difference.

I bought a MacBook Pro a year ago. It's the first Mac I've ever owned (although the first computer I ever used was a Mac back in grade school). I love it to death, but that doesn't stop me from dual booting with Windows XP because I recognize OSX's shortcomings. I used to dual boot with Vista, but I downgraded back to XP because Vista's compatibility issues with older games sincerely pissed me off. I'm not computer savvy enough to do all the work-arounds required to get things to work properly on Vista.

Well, I'm convinced.

Well, my earlier post pointed out exactly this, and why this should be a Windows vs MacOS discussion, not PC vs Mac. :(.

I used Macs for several years in high school and college when working for school newspapers and found the Mac OS to be an enjoyable operating system to work on. They each have their pros and cons and I comes down to picking what works best for you. I don't think there is a clear-cut winner as they each cater to different users.
