Mac V PC

Theres alot of talk around the internet about Macs Vs PCs. What do i use? PC through and through, i run Windows XP (vista sucks - and i'm too lazy too work out all my software for linux), Firefox for browsing, (IE sucks HARD - this is one of the reasons why people get viruses more on PCs than macs. the other reason is because making a virus for a mac is kind of like making a virus for a digital watch) Adobe Creative Suite for web design, photo editing, video editing, design (cross platform - doesnt really run different on macs, although probably slower), iTunes for music (didn't say they made bad software) and i use VLC for video viewing. Everything else i generally find a program thatll run on my PC. I think, once i've ran into a program thats only for macs. Yet how much software only runs on a PC (or linux if you figure it out)? I read an estimate saying that 88% of all software will only run on a PC. People immediately say "oh then i just run bootcamp." Fuck that, i dont wanna have to change OSes to run some program. Have you ever noticed everyone who has a mac uses bootcamp or the like, but i don't know anyone who runs a virtual mac program.

Now, People always seem to think that Macs are for "the design/arty type", ie the left wing, liberal side of computer users. WAIT WHAT?! A company thats proud to say they produce all their own software and hardware? Thats anti diversity. Thats creating a monopoly. Thats pure right wing strategy. PCs arent toys, they are machines, Macs look nicer (externally), than most PCs but if you wanna change the outward appearence of your PC, or ANYTHING about your PC, you can do it.Games going slow? Buy and install a new video card. Games going slow on your mac? OH WAIT THERES HARDLY ANY GAMES ON MAC. One of the few games on a mac going slow? (Blizzard games and uhm, ah, um.) Um, BUY A NEW MAC! Just chuck out your old one. Yeah thats real left wing and carbon friendly.

The latest top of the line mac boasts it has 3.2 ghz processing power. OH WOW 3.2? you know i got 3.3 GHz on my PC i brought two years ago for less than half the cost of that mac....intresting.

I'll admit it, microsoft sucks half the time. But microsoft dont make computers, microsoft make software.

OS wise? I've used both, whenever i try to do something near the bottom of the screen to dock menu pops up in my face and i accidentaly open some program, but i cant see its open cos i have no taskbar, so changing windows is a bit of a mission. (dont say move the menu to the top/sides, ill just get the same problem) You lack a start menu and the multidude of operations a PC user can perform with a right click. Also everything seems slower. I was using my friends Mac (think it was an iMac, not sure) and suddenly everything lagged, i would type something and it would take 5 minutes to appear on screen. I asked him if this happened alot, he replied: "well of course it's slow look how much stuff you have open at the same time!"
I had, iTunes open playing music, one safari window open on myspace, and 2 MSN convos running. thats right, i was overclocking this computer by talking to my friends listening to music and surfing the internet WELCOME TO THE FUTURE OF COMPUTERS. On my current mid to low range PC i usually have all those things going, but several tabs in Firefox, and World Of Warcraft running.

Apple have a good design team, the iPod is revoulutionary, beautiful easy to use, and runs fine with my PC.

Apple, keep doing this, stop trying to make people use computers all running the same software you fascist pigs. Dont try to make me DL safari when i get iTunes updated, i use Firefox for a reason.

Oh, and don't categorize me as some old geek because i like to be able to run software from different developers on MY computer, and i like to be able to customize my computer to suit my needs.


Tell me, loyal mac users, what i would gain by switching?
