    It's the truth, nothing to discuss.

    It's true the commercials are not very relevant to the actual hardware. The commericals just suck.

    Apple tends to oversimplify and overgeneralize.

    Although the hardware itself is good.

    When you see a new Mac running Windows, a BSD Linux Kernel and OS X, all without emulation or virtual machines, you may change your opinion.

    Why would you ever want to run OSX if you can run Windows and Linux simultaneously anyway? You get all you need from the latter two.

    Oh yeah, wasting RAM, that's why.

    It's a matter of taste and features.

    For that matter, why does anyone even use Windows? Oh that's right, they have specific software they like that only runs in Windows. Other than that, there's really no reason to use Windows either...is there?

    Because Windows runs everything without requiring needless tweaking.

    Whoopslol, proper reason, bang goes your argument.

    And OS X requires needless tweaking?

    Au contrare. You don't seem to have a solid argument in the first place.

    I just think Pc comps are better ... True i can catch a comp virus ... but there isn't too much of a chance of that happening unless you download porn or open e-mails from ppl you don't know .

    Most programs = made for windows = not made for mac = macs require tweaking to use said programs.

    Spelled out simply enough for you, or should I make it into a diagram? Perhaps I could try showing you through finger painting?

    And it's "au contraire", if you're going to try and sound smarmy with a foreign language, at least spell it correctly.

    Ad Hominem is your cup of tea. And there is no convincing you other than your opinions. This topic really isn't worth anyone's time...

    Out of the three OSes, Linux usually takes the longest to tweak, followed by Windows and then OSX. A Linux system to my liking will take a few days to get setup the way I like. A Windows system will take usually a whole day. And OSX which I use at work, takes a couple hours to tweak to my liking.

    Each OS has its own place and its own niche of people who are enthusiastic about it. It's popular to hate on Mac because their target audience are artists.

    EDIT: Didn't notice this was closed.
