Wow, I feel like I read something from someone who has no idea what they are talking about. Windows is better because it is harder to use and messier? I am not a mac fan… this article just accomplished nothing. Windows is a buggy piece of crap… sure it claims to let you do alot… and with all of the multiple reminders asking you over and over again spooking non-nerds — it makes it really easy to do so. What can you customize on a pc that you cannot on mac or linux? Also the side by side comparison… those are a bunch of inane corrections windows had to add because the core of its software is designed so poorly.
September 18th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
This one hit you hard i guess :p great post guys!
September 18th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Hmm… what can you customize on a PC that you can’t on a Mac? The hardware, the software, the OS…. oh the list goes on but I think that sums it up. Side note: Linux runs on PC’s. The term “PC” refers to an x86 machine, not just Windows. If Mac ran on something like x86 design, it might be worth it.
September 18th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
Haha, thats awesome…
Mac. Nobody gives a shit.
September 18th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
Windows is not “a buggy piece of crap” (I’m going to ignore vista, that’s like trying to get a blind kit to catch a ball) 80% of errors bugs, crashes are from people installing tons and tons of random applications, and using their computer poorly. I have XP SP3 and I have never had a crash, error, or bug that can be attributed to windows itself. When firefox crashes it’s because I have 17 tabs open and I load up java while I’m streaming video. Thanks to service packs and constant updates, windows xp has become quite stable.
People like Mac cause it’s hip, and it has training wheels. Most stuff on Mac is pretty straight forward and simple. It’s a decent system for people who know nothing about computers and don’t know how to get good performance for their money. I have only used a Mac for an extended amount of time once, and that was for about 5 days. It was a iMac (one of the most recent ones) and it crashed 4 times. All I was doing was running the browser and Heroes of Might and Magic 4, not exactly demanding on resources. When it crashed, I got no notification, no debug, no nothing. All that happened was that everything froze and I had to hard-reboot it. (which was hard to do considering the button just sent it into hibernate and brought it back up frozen.) The third time I thought I would just leave it and see if it unfroze. After sleeping and going to work, (about 15 hours total) I came back and it was still completely frozen.
Anyways, XP doesn’t suck, and Macs aren’t as amazing as people like to say.
September 18th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Jeremy, you said:
“If Mac ran on something like x86 design, it might be worth it.”
It does. Since 2006. Currently using Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Xeon. If you have time to waste, you can even install Windows Vista on it. In fact it was in 2007 the fastest computer to run Vista:

Dear “Someone,”
When you correct another person for not being educated, it’s a bad idea to then misspell a word in your correction.
The word you want is “something” not “somthing.”
Please educate yourself before correcting someone on the web. Thank you.

It didn’t cost me a dime to switch to Ubuntu, and it’s significantly less infuriating than dealing with confinement to either corner of the market.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Mac are computers especially designed for idiots….I mean Mommys and Daddys.
If this offends any Mac users please right click somthing.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:27 pm
“Most stuff on Mac is pretty straight forward and simple. It’s a decent system for people who know nothing about computers and don’t know how to get good performance for their money.”
Wait, how many professional movies are cut/edited on macs? Yeah, that’s right, all of them, in Final cut. And BTW it’s not just movies. Professional music recording, photo editing, designing and all sorts of professional stuff are made on macs not on PC’s.
And real gamers doesn’t play on a PC, nor on a mac. Real gamers play on consoles and pay for the games worth playing!
PC’s are made for poor people who can’t afford to buy games or a real computer.
September 18th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
I just have to comment on this:
“Thanks to service packs and constant updates, windows xp has become quite stable.”
Erhm… Windows XP has been out in SEVEN years and it has became QUITE stable… GREAT work microsoft! It took you SEVEN, i repeat SEVEN years to make something QUITE stable.
Hooray for microsoft! (or not)
September 18th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I love reading this kind of stuff. Of course, it’s really fun when you grow up and start working on computers. Then you can’t have some silly “I hate this OS” reaction to anything because your boss expects you to work with the hardware you’ve got. I’m OS-agnostic because at my office I’m expected to support Macs and Windows machines. I also administer our Linux servers.
Strangely enough regardless of OS, they perform the functions they were purchased for. Except for one web designer who’d rather have a mac, I’ve never heard anyone complain about the operating system they’re using on their work computer.
So I can’t help but think the whole thing is pretty childish. It’s especially silly coming from the Windows side. Microsoft Windows owns over 80% of the market for personal computer operating systems. All the press fawning aside, the Macintosh OS is a niche operating system at best. The war mentality of so many Windows fans out there towards the Macintosh OS is the equivalent of the United States attacking the Vatican City.
So couldn’t everybody just grow the f*** up?
September 18th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Guybrush,
Avid Vs. FCP
I don’t know if you are unaware or just choose to be ignorant but needless to say Avid still has a firm grip on video editing.
You probably will not be back to read this, but I thought I should post this, as the “OMG Final Cut Pro” seems to be a fan boy argument of choice.
as I believe some above me said, educate yourself before you educate us.
~G
September 18th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
G, you are right. Most big movies and TV-shows are still being edited in Avid, on macs!
It doesn’t matter which software you are using, Avid, Final cut or Adobe premiere. Most of the time it is on a mac! And the fact that all three was made mac-only from the start should tell you something of which platform the major editing is made on.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Macs are simply limited. They do have a lot of capability to them, and they work okay as long as you only run one program at a time. In short, they are the training wheels to computers as someone above said. And FCP? How many people use that in their day to day lives? Outside of the movie industry, where they could easily get customer specific computers for a fraction of their income, they would use elite software like that. The only cool thing about macs is Garage Band. I love that program, even though I am a pc user.
Also, for all you Vista haters, read about Windows Mojave!
September 18th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Problems with this:
Minesweeper comes with windows, not macs. I played Quake 3 far more on a mac than I ever did on a pc.
“Mac OS X for Intel supports the NX bit and PAE on all CPUs supported by Apple (from 10.4.4 - the first Intel release - onwards).” - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NX_bit#Mac_OS_X . I didn’t check the rest.
It’s very simplistic to say that the only reasons macs don’t have viruses is that they are less popular. Linux makes up the majority of servers which makes them a brilliant target - high bandwidth for ddosing people etc. Still nowhere near as many viruses. Mac os x is derived from secure systems including freebsd and NEXTSTEP.
I’m pretty sure stan uses one of the new imacs in season 12 of south park. Maybe that was shelley.
September 18th, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Macs can run windows *better* than any PC.
Mac: (stupid people) don’t give a shit
dumbass
September 18th, 2008 at 8:42 pm
Limited? That’s strange, I can’t think of anything you can’t do on a mac that you can do on a PC, can you?
Run only one program at a time? Why in earth would you do that, i love multi-tasking? I currently run firefox (8 tabs), photoshop, skype, MSN, transmission, quicktime, excel, textedit, mail and iTunes (also a time machine backup every hour). And my MacBook (2.5GB RAM) still works perfectly, so i guess you can’t claim that it only works good when running one program at a time.
Hmm… maybe i should open up parallels too, just for kicks?
September 18th, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Well, I started off with Macs for years, and had to switch because our work place administrators wanted everyone with “PCs”. I liked Macs better. nuf said
September 18th, 2008 at 9:28 pm
Macs are for pretentious losers with failure computer skills. Their Design is twee and their OSes are insulting.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
linux > mac > windows.
macos, linux, and windows all run on x86 hardware.
windows haters most likely haven’t tried macs.
what’s the number one notebook computer bought by college students? macbooks.
guess what? macs aren’t going anywhere for a long time.
the right-click jokes are cliched nowadays. ever hear of a mighty mouse?
by the way, ever hear of parallels? or vmware fusion? one can run xp/vista side-by-side with macos - without having to reboot.
installing/uninstalling most programs is much easier on macs - just download the dmg file, and drag 1 file to your application folder.
the one thing i hate about macos, however, is the objective-c language. why? just use C/C++.
.net sucks.
although everything i’ve said above is true,
linux FTW.
September 18th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
Why do we have to judge people solely on which OS they run??? Why not judge them from what they accomplish.
That’s great if every film person and photographer I know can do some spiffy art on photoshop, great! fantastic.
I’d stick with my windows so that I can run Satellite Tool Kit, CAD software, 3D Cad software, labview, altium, any professional software really (at the same time).
September 18th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
They’re just like… Operating Systems for computers like. Guys, you seriously need to calm down. This isn’t an interesting type of digital nationalism.

Quote from Guybrush
“And real gamers doesn’t play on a PC, nor on a mac. Real gamers play on consoles and pay for the games worth playing!”
“PC’s are made for poor people who can’t afford to buy games or a real computer.”
Come on, you can’t possibly believe this…
First of all, who are real gamers?
Secondly, the last time I checked, PC’s capable of running decent games cost more than normal games consoles. Also the RRP’s of new games, PC or other console are pretty much the same. The main reason more people play on consoles is because it’s a lot cheaper and you can have multiplayer.
Thirdly, pretty much all the best games for Xbox or PS have come out on the PC.
I love my mac and my PC. I just wish my mac was worth all the extra money…

I was walking to the Martyns(my local Supermarket)last Tuesday to get some shaving razors.The damn place was CLOSED!!! Anyway, there is a computer store on my route. When I was passing there was a demonstration going on in which to tech guys were setting up their two different computers(One PC, One Mac). One guy was all for PCs, the other guy wouldn’t stop raving about his new Mac. I forget the SPEC’s of the machines besides the operating systems, XP Prof SP3 & OSX respectively. Anyway the challenge was to see which guy coulds set up his machine and run 50 cross platform apps in the leasts amount of time without the machine crashing or freezing. The time limit was set at three minutes and the contest was due to start 14:30. But at 14:25 the power went out in the computer store. Whats the moral of the story. Don’t go to to Martyns Supermarket on Tuesday to buy shaving razors. Its closed on Tuesday!

‘ And real gamers doesn’t play on a PC, nor on a mac. Real gamers play on consoles and pay for the games worth playing!
PC’s are made for poor people who can’t afford to buy games or a real computer.’
WHAT?
First of all, pcs are a much better platform for games, for one there are customizable (in terms of hardware at least) so you only need to buy what you need, not a whole new model, and pc gamers can buy games too, and you can pirate games on consoles as well (not saying you should). btw, consoles are often more expensive(or around the same price) than/as pcs and pcs can do a lot more.

I like bacon, I find it very tasty and best when crispy. It is mostly eaten as a breakfast food, however I find it to be equally tasty at any meal. It goes well in sandwiches, it can be eaten with pancakes or in soup. I might even go so far as to claim that it is the most versatile food in the world. It’s even healthy! Why I think that if YOU don’t like bacon, then there must be something wrong with you. Maybe you should seek counseling of some kind.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:34 am
I have a PC.
It sucks and I hate it. It cost way too much money considering that it ALWAYS has a problem. The two times I have called for help, I was told by someone who barely speaks English that I must be imagining it or that it wasn’t their problem.
I think I’d like to try a Mac.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:34 am
All computers are rubbish! No-one can even produce a graphics driver that works for my PC laptop… Any other product that cost a few hundred £s, $s or whatever would work, whereas we all for some reason accept the fact that computers will constantly crash. Even a car for £500 can be more reliable than any PC I’ve ever seen. So the argument between PCs or Macs is irrelevant. A computer is a tool, that is supposed to make life/work more efficient, but actually wastes more time than it saves. Stop having geeky arguments about which is best, face up to the fact that is doesn’t matter & go do something OUTSIDE!
It’s better, I promise.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:46 am
if pc’s suck so much, why is bill gates, the richest man in the world? oh and bill gates is the owner of microsoft. (for you stupid mac owners.)

what really sucks is this post mac is better and it always will be
September 19th, 2008 at 1:10 am
I use a Mac book pro, it’s crashed a couple of times however it just works every other time which suits me fine. It’s not perfect, what is?
I’m not fond of Windows Operating systems, have been a ex user for over 10 years.
The best thing I ever did was go Mac (I’ve tried Linux)
I really don’t see why there is so much hype to hate Macs or Mac users, why bother - what is it going to achieve?
Windows has done a good job of proving it self to be less reliable than a Mac, why would I need to start ranting about how bad windows OS is - we all know which one is better.
September 19th, 2008 at 1:31 am
I don’t hold anything against any of the OSes. They all have a different purpose. However, they said many times that Macs run Windows better than PCs. Macs run Office better than PCs. You’re still paying Microsoft for it. Apple needs to make OSX run on every platform like Microsoft has. And sell Mac OSX to PC owners. I’m sure they’d switch, because Apple hardware is too expensive.
September 19th, 2008 at 1:33 am
The price isn’t worth it for a Mac. I work with them a lot at school- both the Macs and the Dells are hooked up to the same server and I can 100% guarantee I always pick the Dell over the Mac.
I don’t mind if others like Macs- my first computer was a Mac, but I’ll always prefer Windows.
I haven’t tried Linux yet, but I’m sure I’d like it too. Highly customizable, which is always nice.
September 19th, 2008 at 1:48 am
ok noobs heres how it is. mac cant do shit. user friendly= no custimization and if u say u cant custimize then u a fogzor noob who doesnt no shit about computers and should go back to telegraph go play wow u fag
September 19th, 2008 at 1:48 am
One thing PC users can do that Macs can’t
and beyond that, my $50 beef with Macs…
Look at their mouse.
Look at how nice this mouse look. Caress it with your eyes…
then try putting your hand around it and use it. You_Can’t.
There’s no good way to hold it. Most every other manufacturer of comp mice pays attention to ergonomics, but Mac is so stuck on making a piece of art that they forget people use their hands more than their eyes with computer mice.More importantly, right-clicking sucks. I say Function over Form, but Apple disagrees. Maybe if they stopped oogling it and self-stimulating themselves to it’s simple-yet-sleek curves and actually put their hand on the mouse and tried using it they’d see how much it sucks.Even if you already have an Apple mouse ($50 thru apple store) go get a logitech optical mouse, maybe for $35 or less at Best Buy. The $15+ savings will be trounced by the savings of time, less stress, and saved brain power.Brain power? Yes, brain power.MacWorld describes it this way. “The force-sensing buttons proved a little difficult to use in my testing. When I wanted to use them, I had to stop, locate the buttons with my fingers, and squeeze with the proper degree of intensity, which was more difficult than it needed to be.”I want to think as little as possible when I do a simple task as right-click. The shitty ability of the right clicker translates to mistakes. You die in games. But more importantly, you mess up when trying to complete simple (or complex) tasks in photoshop or other work-related programs. If you’ve got a project due for a client in 8 hours the last thing you want to think about is right-clicking, and the last thing you want to do is go back through the menues or wait 5 extra seconds for the computer to undo the mistake caused to a 300mb+ file.Function_over_Form. But apparently that’s not what the ” Mac Community ” is about. Ditch this spoon-fed corporate propoganda, and don’t pay money for a product that looks nice but is of inferior ability and quality.-CtB
September 19th, 2008 at 1:52 am
o yea and loclyn u cant say shit cus u aint used pc in ten years
September 19th, 2008 at 2:44 am
Okay, this is about Windows Suck, not Apple sucks.
September 19th, 2008 at 3:28 am
well, i think any1 arguing pro windows is very misguided but I think the issue here is more of a combination of hardware and the os. Windows sucks, bill gates is a gremlin (steve Jobbs is a shit headed little kid), and macs are good for people who dont know what theyr doing. so for a certain market there great! but for those of us who even know what an os is its a poor match. If u argue “microsoft os sucks mac is better”, u may have somthing but pc’s arnt all running os MS are they? no linux or ubuntu is a great alternative that makes the pc a far better choice for any individual who knows the difference.

Guybrush, stfu. The only reason why Macintosh is used in the industry is because Macintosh has a brutal advertising campaign. They just weaseled their way into every part of the market and convinced a few powerful people to switch over.
In reality, Mac is a pathetic. Never before has so much debate go on about something so obselete when compared to a windows pc (btw, microsoft makes about 100x more than macintosh every single year) or any other pc. what bothers me is that macintosh bases their entire advertising campaign just on being better than windows. alot of shit is better than windows. but it works.
If you like Mac better than windows, than you probably just got fooled by clever advertising.
If you argue with that statement, you’re just being an elitist douche, no matter which way you pull it EVEN if you’re right.
You cant convince people to stop using Windows. Macintosh should go somewhere else with their advertising.
and Guybrush, wow you’re bugging me.
“And real gamers doesn’t play on a PC, nor on a mac. Real gamers play on consoles and pay for the games worth playing!

September 19th, 2008 at 4:09 am
Guys,
I just want to say that a computer is a computer, there really is no outstanding advantage singling out Macs or PCs or PCs over Macs. This argument is like trying to decide whether you should buy a Ford, Toyota, Mazda, Volkswagen, Mitsubishi, Chevy or whatever other kinds of car makers there are. Each one does the same thing overall, the difference is what you want to be able to do with it. If you are a construction worker, you are likely to get an SUV or a pick up truck. If you are just a regular business man or woman, you are likely to get a regular 4 door sedan. The point is you pick out your model based on what you are looking for.
I like PCs, I have a Vista laptop, and an XP desktop. My friend is a die hard mac fan, he used to love PCs but switched over. I have never had a problem with either OS, what I have noticed though is that Macs are organized to be as simple at troubleshooting problems as possible, this makes them a likely nomination for “new” users, aka Moms or Dads. If you are looking to go hardcore on a mac, and edit videos play games, multi-task, you can do this too, but like anything it uses up processing speeds and memory. Taking a computer to its limits will crash or freeze any system. I have my Vista, I like Vista, its pretty much the same as XP but a lot more ‘eye candy.’ Because of this some things load a little slower, but nothing that you can’t wait 1 second for. If you can’t wait one second, create a computer that works off your brain, ok? Vista has crashed on me, the “Blue Screen of Death” but it had nothing to do with Vista, it had to do with scripting issues in the Rhapsody Music Player. The fact that it crashed while I was using Vista only supports peoples decisions that Vista is terrible and I tell this to my friend, the die hard mac lover. He laughs and recommends for me to get a mac, you can do so much more. But I have noticed something with his brand of computers. See my friend boasts about the macs so much that whenever something goes wrong with it he doesn’t say anything or bring it up. He installed Vista and XP on his mac, and also started using parallels. He had to restore the mac os because his macbook continued to crash. When I bring it up to him, he shrugs it off that it has nothing to do with a mac or its os, he never gives a reason though. In the 2 years that he has been a mac-fanatic he is currently on his third macbook, because of faulty issues, crashing and system restore problems.
In the 10 years I have had computers, I have only had three, I still have two of them, the vista laptop I am typing on right now, and an xp desktop. The only computer I got rid of was a desktop pc….it was running Windows 95….sorry but it had to go, technology doesn’t wait for others, it keeps moving along, so I got another computer after ‘95 became obsolete.
What I am trying to say guys is that mac or PC, they both do the same thing. You can customize both, and which one you choose is a personal decision, as I stated before like buying a car. If you are into extensive gaming, you are probably going to buy a PC. Yes Mac’s have the capabilities to run computer games, but the games are geared towards PCs and consoles, and Macs are not part of the norm when games are released. This is why many Macs receive their games after the initial release. If you are looking for a basic computer nothing special, you can use a Mac or a PC, at this point it would be whichever OS you like better, i.e. Windows Format or Mac Format.
There are pros and cons to both, I really just hate when people are not objective, they become so lulled into a belief without looking at the whole picture, stick yourself outside the debate as if you had neither product, which one would you choose and why? which one would most people choose for computing and why?

if you really care so much about a computer that your dont own you should really take a look at your life and think about what it is lacking, fulfillment, affection, love, hell even conversations with the opposite sex.
oh hold on, now i think about it i can relate!!!
iv got a kawai upright piano that only has one pedal for sustain, its cracking in areas and three keys don’t work. and il tell you what, I HATE PEOPLE WITH BRAND NEW YAMAHAS THEY ARE SO USELESS WITH THEIR WORKING KEYS AND THREE PEDALS TO ALTER TONE AND EXPRESSION, HOW DARE THEY JUST ENJOY PLAYING MUSIC THEY LOVE WHILE I HAVE TO COMPROMISE BY NOT PLAYING SONGS THAT HAVE MY MISSING NOTES IN, AND SPENDING ALL MY MONEY GETTING IT TUNED EVERY THREE WEEKS BECAUSE THE FRAME IS SO POORLY MADE AND HAS WARPED. oh god soon it wont work at all and and il have to go and buy another cheap piano and let the nightmare start again, or,,,,, i could just get a ,,,, YAMAHA!!? nah fuck it il just post on the the internet about how much i hate yamaha’s, and all the other poor musicians will sympathize with me under the guise of united superiority, the loud voice of the majority. most of the world is impoverished after all…
ho hum WELL AT LEAST DON’T HAVE ANY COMPARATIVE PROBLEMS WITH MY MAC. ^_^ XOX
September 19th, 2008 at 5:00 am
My OS is better than yours! I know so, because you suck! I can play all the latest games so that means I also have a larger penis than you. You fail. Etc, etc, etc.
Look at me, I’m defending a product that I purchased on a website with silly images that poke fun at that product. Wouldn’t my parents be proud? …

“Guybrush, stfu. The only reason why Macintosh is used in the industry is because Macintosh has a brutal advertising campaign. They just weaseled their way into every part of the market and convinced a few powerful people to switch over.”
Max, clearly you haven’t done your history lessons. Macintosh was used in the movie industry LOOOONG before Apple started advertising it. So please consider learning before coming and claiming a bunch of lies.
“Consoles are just pc’s with more than half the functionality taken out. Consoles are lame compared to any PC, no reason to bring them up in adult conversation.”
Gaming were born on consoles! And i can’t see what more i could want on my PS3, i watch all my DVD and Blu-ray movies on it, i can (if i want) go and surf the web on it, but i don’t because computers are better for browsing. I wouldn’t be happier if my PS3 could do as much as my computer, cus i wouldn’t use it for that.
To sum this up, consoles are carefully designed for gaming, and gaming ONLY! Computer gaming is only a very small portion of the computer industry, but you get a good amount of useless buttons with it and a whole lot of new games that you can’t play, cus the graphics. And if you have a really good gaming computer that you play with it is still equally expensive to a console.

hahaha this is great. yeah i have a mac. i do like it. it doesnt have that many game out for it, bit that really doesnt bother me or else i would have switched to a windows… i have used macs at home and PCs at school/ other places since i dont know when. i know how to use both, but i just like macs better. thats what it comes down to for me. i know some people like windows better…thats just them.
you all have made good, bad and very much retarded comments… but the fact of the matter is that i like my mac and i will never buy windows unless there is some killer app. that comes out. i dont see that happening any time soon… for me at least. but if it does i might switch.
there is no sense arguing whos system is better, its like trying to argue someone into converting to your religion or switching to your political party. it just causes people to start name calling and acting immature. like this :
“o yea and loclyn u cant say shit cus u aint used pc in ten years”
or
“Mac are computers especially designed for idiots….”
grow the fuck up and then move the fuck on. pick which one make sense for you then use that fucking computer. god damn.

Not to sound like an 8 year old, but they (the Mac fanboys) started it. PC users couldn’t care less about Macs and Mac users until Apple chose to make their entire marketing campaign an attempt to trash PCs; the ads are insulting and offensive. You have to expect some reactions to that, and you have to expect that not all of those reactions are going to be friendly; you fight with fire, expect burns.
That, and the smarmy I’m better than you elitist wanna be anti-conformists that get all warm and fuzzy when they tell everyone how much better they and their Mac are. FYI: PCs are diverse, as there are literally 100s of makers… while Macs, are anything but anti-conformist.
Generally, people don’t just stand idly by while being insulted, and I find it offensive that you think they should. How about Mac users shut the hell up about PCs huh?
It has nothing to do with the hardware or OS, though. It’s all about… Adobe.
Adobe products, unlike most software, are made for Macs first, and PCs later. Therefore, in order to get the best graphics package suite, you have to have a Mac. Were Adobe to switch over, Macs would die a very quick death.

“Hmm… what can you customize on a PC that you can’t on a Mac? The hardware, the software, the OS…. oh the list goes on but I think that sums it up. Side note: Linux runs on PC’s. The term “PC” refers to an x86 machine, not just Windows. If Mac ran on something like x86 design, it might be worth it.”
…you can’t customize the software very much, DEFINITELY not the OS as much as windows or linux, hardware has nothing to do with the argument–this is talking about the crappy OS that mac is. Oh, and mac DOES run on x86 machines, or x86_64 with dual core, ever since they started using intel chips.
“there is no sense arguing whos system is better, its like trying to argue someone into converting to your religion or switching to your political party”
lol… OS has become a sensitive subject nowadays? i’ll stay politically incorrect. macs are lame.
September 19th, 2008 at 7:57 am
But, macs ARE designed for idiots. They pretty much admit it themselves. And if you bought an iPod or an iPhone and thought it was something special…I’ve got bad news for you.

To anyone addressing their post to Noob or dumb-mac-owner:
Did you ever stop to consider that not everyone’s hobby is the computer? I put a sticker on my mac, and that’s custom enough for me. Why? Because I use it to design and stay in touch with my family. Not to get off on. Now, I understand the need for uber-nerds who can make a computer do anything… and that’s fascinating and all. But some of us, you see, are simply using our computers as tools. And we just want them to work. We don’t need to put 50 fans in it and lights that spell our names and five operating systems because one isn’t cool enough, nope. And there are a lot more of us than you. So as far as successful products go, I think Mac’s got PC beat.
I don’t mean to insult anyone, some of the people dearest to me are very pale, I love them all dearly and I don’t think it’s bad that they use PCs.
September 19th, 2008 at 8:25 am
its great to see people try to make fun of linux in the background of windows vs mac debates and other fun stuff… because linux has always been there in the background… unix/linux has ran most of the servers, routers, TiVo (is a linux software piece), and countless other things for a long time. Heck, u can put linux on a PS3 or a cell phone if u so wished. and although linux only makes up 1% of all the desktops out there, it makes up more than 50% of servers and other “background” hardware pieces that allow us to connect our PC’s(windows) and macs together…
oh and as far as correcting someone else’s spelling and grammar on the web, only proves that u have more chromosomes than the special olympics

While you all debate this, I will be having sex. And when I am done having sex, I will be cutting another film in Final Cut (using the right click functionality of my mighty mouse all the way). After that, more sex. Really, this is the argument? Who writes better because of their choice of typewriter? I love this. Keep it up dorks!
September 19th, 2008 at 9:00 am
It’s all down to personal preference i think.
Being in the IT industry with pc and mac user’s, 90% of support we do is with operating issues on windows the 10% is a mixture of application support and connectivity on macs.
Go Figure? I know which I prefer and I have been in the game for almost 15 years.
September 19th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Macs suck, you can’t customize them at all. I mean you should see what i’ve done with my PC. It’s got laser cannons and rocket launchers on the side. I’ve got radars and programs that allow me to track the flight path of every bird in a 10 mile radius, my computer can dispense ice, CUBED AND CRUSHED. I don’t see any macs being able to do that. I mean all that stuff is the bare minimum to be able to check e-mails or type word documents. I can’t count the number of times i’ve been writing essays on a mac and think, “Damn, where’s that rocket launcher?” it’s just so frustrating to use.
Dear Eyeman3717,
I hate bacon. I find it a serious character flaw that you enjoy bacon. There must be something terribly wrong with your childhood. I hate bacon, and you so much i’ll fire one of my rockets at you, then cool myself down with a nice cold glass of ice and LASER BEAMS. i suggest you do the same. OH WAIT, YOU LIKE BACON, YOU ARE A FLAWED PERSON, YOU PROBABLY USE A MAC AND CAN’T ENJOY REFRESHING GLASSES OF ICE AND LASER BEAM.
PS,
If you like bacon you therefore must be a Mac user. It’s all very logical.

True story: I get this gig that is part Windows, part Linux programming. I buy a new HP laptop for the job w/ Windows Vista pre-installed and resize the drive and install Linux. Install was a piece of cake. Answered a few questions, watch TV, and then it was done. Boots Windows or Linux now, no problem. I get to the job site and need to use a serial port, which isn’t on the laptop, so one of their Engineers gives me this USB serial adapter. In Windows I plug it in and it says unknown hardware. In Linux, it just works. I need to get some files off a floppy, which the laptop doesn’t have. Same engineer gives me a USB floppy drive. I Windows, I plug it in and it says unknown hardware. In Linux, I plug it in, insert the disk and a file manager window opens up with the contents of the disk displayed. Then there’s this compact flash from a DOS embedded machine. Windows says I need to format it. In Linux, it pops up a file manager window with the contents displayed. (And when I did format it in windows, he DOS machine could no longer read it, when I formatted it in Linux, the DOS machine was happy)
Oh yeah, can’t forget the boot times (boot to something that loads quick: a cmd window in Windows and a shell window in X in Linux)): 4 min 30 secs for Windows, 2 min. for Linux (and my Linux root partition is encrypted, too, which slows it down)
Now which one is the motorcycle and which is the pile of parts? I think you need to switch the labels on those. Linux just worked for everything I plugged in. Windows worked for nothing I plugged in.
I haven’t used Windows much in over a decade and this experience is not leaving a favorable impression on me.
September 19th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
mitch, dead on.
all these arguments drop dead in the face of the fact that macs can run windows
September 19th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
mmmmkay, lets start this off proper THEIR ARE NO FUCKING DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MACS AND PC’S. i have a macbook pro running windows vista and a pc running mac os/x leopard, both running them at native speeds both not crashing both with working wireless internet at that. now as per you people trying to make these ludicrous claims that windows xp is a great o/s or that vista will get better with time i call bull shit both o/s’s were stolen from open source programmers and all their proprietary software as well. safari is based off of konqueror browser for openbsd for instance. now stop this faggotry so we can get on with our day.
September 19th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Try running dual monitors on Ubuntu without having to edit lines of code…. My definition of a usable OS excludes editing code to do something as simple as this.
Do not get me wrong, its not hard to do. But there are ten different ways and ten different programs available on Ubuntu for you to try and pick from. And this is just an example of all the simple things that are made more complicated than they should be. That is why Linux makes up only 1% of the market share. If you like doing this than great, have at it, but Linux will never be able to compete with Apple or Microsoft on a personal computer level for these reasons.
And when it comes to Macs, I do not like them and I will never use one, but who cares what anyone says. If you like them than you should use them. Just stop acting like you are better than anyone else, and stop acting like you shit gold because you operate one, because there is nothing special about doing so. Great job, you do not get viruses or have any security problems…ohh wait no one cares enough about you to give a shit. You are like Canada, you don’t matter and no one cares about what you do, so who would want to start shit with you.
As you can probably tell I run Windows. Good for me; I am no better than anyone else.
September 19th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
Do I really need to have a right button on my mouse? I just tap the trackpad with two fingers… same effect.
I have countless add-ons and modifications for my Mac.
Who needs to play games on the computer when an X box or PlayStation is infinitely better. PC=Fail.
Why would I want to update (and often pay for) Virus scan, Firewall, Windows upgrades, etc? PC=Fail.
Lack of excessive viruses, not because “no one makes them for Mac,” but because it is built on a sturdy platform. PC=Fail.
Hundreds of companies putting out similar products, at a degraded quality to make it “cheaper” rather than all “in house” and durable. PC=Fail.
PC Computers are cheap and businesses can afford them. Mac does not lower standards to make quick profits from businesses. PC=Fail.
Should I go on? I don’t have to. Most of you have never even used a mac long enough to know. I don’t mind though. It’s okay because most of you would rather have quantity (of problems) than a quality machine that costs a little more.
Computers are meant to simplify your life… PC=Fail.
September 19th, 2008 at 4:57 pm
Windows 3.0 - Vista: Done that, it was OK.
Linux 2.0.18 - current: Done that, it was a bit fun and challenging.
Mac OS X 10.2 - current: Still use it with love each day.
Let’s face it: Most people bashing on Mac users do that because they can’t afford a Mac. Just be honest. Don’t make silly lists of cool things you can or cannot do with your computer.
I’m in love with my Macs, and I’m happy I could afford them.

Dear “Someone’s Spellcheck”,
When attacking someone’s argument, don’t use MUDANE logic that implies the universal constant of an ABSOLUTE DUMBASS:
“If person X MIS-spells word Y in their argument, it means the the whole argument is somehow, without further proof required, WRONG; because now we have reason to doubt their intelligence.”
——-> YOU are JUST AS DUMB as every other UNEDUCATED TOOL on YOUTUBE!
If i misspell ONE DAMN WORD it doesn’t mean what i said is JUST SOMEHOW wrong! FURTHER PROOF/REASONING is REQUIRED to disprove what HE SAID.
That kind of arguing ain’t even worth JACK for anyone to hear. Would you KINDLY, STFU!
September 19th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Who needs to play games on the computer when an X box or PlayStation is infinitely better.
->WRONG.
You can have a better pc, and the cost-effectiveness of this is far greater than any “deal” you’ll get for the cheap “we make it only on our platform” sellout of a market. Agea Physics can be bought for PC (what about mac? :P). And AMD is releasing 8-core and 12-core cpu’s ONLY, EXCLUSIVELY for PC’s atm. Also, why are you even trying to ARGUE this point? Didn’t you write this for Mac vs Pc? Gesus… being wrong is one thing, then bringing out your wrongness in the WRONG SPOT, that’s ANOTHER THING!
Why would I want to update (and often pay for) Virus scan, Firewall, Windows upgrades, etc? PC=Fail.
-> is WRONG.
Your conclusion states that “PC” = fail, when somehow, your premise only addressed WINDOWS. PC is a MULTI-O/S platform. I can run a gentoo linux that is compiled from source that is infinitely MORE secure than mac.
Lack of excessive viruses, not because “no one makes them for Mac,” but because it is built on a sturdy platform. PC=Fail.
-> WRONG.
Ask yourself, why does SAFARI have WAY more bugfixes every month than even Internet Explorer does? Could it be, because ALL THOSE BUGS WERE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!? You know, i could see that being a problem, considering that most mac users typically use their mac with an administrative unix account AS IT IS. Overflowing a Buffer in Safari would be an end-all security problem for you because of that, but you probably don’t even know what I’m talking about, because you are under the illusion that macs don’t have security problems. When really, your COMPANY has just done such a clean job of assuring its income with BALONY statements like that, that you actually believe it.
Hundreds of companies putting out similar products, at a degraded quality to make it “cheaper” rather than all “in house” and durable. PC=Fail.
-> WRONG
The hardware in your mac is actually being sold to you at MINIMUM 30% greater cost than what you’ll find in even resellers like HP, Acer, and Toshiba. Granted, many of these companies try to sell you out. But if you didn’t RUSH-buy and actually looked under the hood for functionality, future, and REAL durability, you would realize that spending TIME to look at the market instead of being RIPPED OFF on your GAY MAC would make MORE SENSE.
PC Computers are cheap and businesses can afford them. Mac does not lower standards to make quick profits from businesses. PC=Fail.
->WRONG
As stated above, Macs have MANY TIMES more security alerts than PC’s. They also increase the cost of the hardware because A) its a mac and B) because they know that you don’t KNOW any better. C) its market lock-in.
So, moral of the story, get UN-dumb, realize where the $$ is going, don’t buy pre-manufactured content because you can get WAY farther making intelligent hardware purchases by looking at the WHOLE god damn market, NOT relying on someone else to cover YOUR FAT UN-INTELLIGENT ASS for you. Many macs can’t even put out 1080P on the market today, and are sold for OVER $1000. This is just a small example, but YOU need to get out from UNDER your APPLE-supplied-ROCK-of-DESTROYED-LOGIC, and START thinking where REAL power comes from. Oh, and one more thing. Did you ever think WHY DirectX is the predominant non-console-based graphics and gaming platform? It’s because it IS the best. It actually WHOOPS X and OPENGL’s ASS. So shove THAT up your MAC BUTT.
And one more thing? Your mac would crash if you overflow any of your extensible programs with crap. Same goes for any program. They probably just expected you to make dumb decisions about anything you need to be spoon-fed. That’s why root is locked by default, why mac users buy a screen and a desktop under the SAME lid, why YOU think that a one-button’d mouse is more powerful and faster than a FIVE button mouse (hmm… five fingers… is it TRUE?!! =D), why your mac is ALWAYS soft-power’d off and SOFT-power controlled (DUMB DUMB DUMB!.. that’s a NO-NO for ANY hardware designer!), and why you’ll ALWAYS be the mouth of a LONG LINE OF ADVERTISING from that FUCKING COMPANY CALLED APPLE.
I rest my case.

I love this article - and the comments -and yep, Macs are for people that don’t know any better. If you can’t install your own OS and have no idea what to do when your get an error - We techs would rather you have a Mac. This way you won’t be calling us for help when you can’t print as you have somehow changed your default printer and are like a deer in the headlights.
As for the comments that real gamers use consoles - um no. Kids use consoles - I’ve kinda out-grown Sonic the Hedgehog … I’d rather be playing Half Life II off of steam years before it’ll ever be released for your crappy Xbox II.
Oh I forgot the Xbox is a pc as well.

First off, for those people that say that Apple is stupid so on and so forth, lets look at some of the things that Apple brought to the computer world. Firewire (or IEEE 1394 interface for those of you PC users out there), Quicktime, GUI interface, the mouse (originally designed by XEROX PARC, but first used by apple), PDAs (see Apple Newton). They were the first to switch completely to USB. They made the ubiquitous iPod, which revolutionized portable music players.
September 19th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
this is why they made xbox. So you dont need to buy a pc to play games..
Who buys a pc or a mac to play games anyway?
September 19th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
“Wait, how many professional movies are cut/edited on macs? Yeah, that’s right, all of them, in Final cut. And BTW it’s not just movies. Professional music recording, photo editing, designing and all sorts of professional stuff are made on macs not on PC’s.”
False.
“And real gamers doesn’t play on a PC, nor on a mac. Real gamers play on consoles and pay for the games worth playing!”
What the fuck?? Computers CREATED modern gaming. How many game tournaments do you hear about on consoles as compared to PC? Virtually ZERO. The only competitive game that consoles have is Halo, and Halo is the most over rated game in existence.
“PC’s are made for poor people who can’t afford to buy games or a real computer.”
Wow. That’s so completely ass backwards it’s ridiculous. The major DISADVANTAGE of PCs is that they are expensive. PCs are a real computer. Macs are for trendy douchebags or pretenders who think they are “artists.”

“Do I really need to have a right button on my mouse? I just tap the trackpad with two fingers… same effect.”
Except you have to use two fingers when I can use one retard.
“I have countless add-ons and modifications for my Mac.
Who needs to play games on the computer when an X box or PlayStation is infinitely better. PC=Fail.”
Xbox and Playstation are not even CLOSE to better. Look at TF2 for a perfect example. Xbox users STILL don’t have the frequently released content by valve.
“Why would I want to update (and often pay for) Virus scan, Firewall, Windows upgrades, etc? PC=Fail.”
I haven’t paid for a single one of those, and since I’m not a technologically crippled manatee like most mac users I can easily manage my updates and protection to be unobtrusive.
“Lack of excessive viruses, not because “no one makes them for Mac,” but because it is built on a sturdy platform. PC=Fail.”
I have never gotten a virus. I have gotten a few cases of spy ware, but all were removed almost immediately and with no trouble. Macs ARE more stable that PCs, but they are FAR FAR FAR from invincible. Viruses can be made for macs easily, but no one gives enough of a shit to do so.
“Hundreds of companies putting out similar products, at a degraded quality to make it “cheaper” rather than all “in house” and durable. PC=Fail.”
COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE.
Competition is GOOD FOR THE CONSUMER you driveling piece of crotch.
“PC Computers are cheap and businesses can afford them. Mac does not lower standards to make quick profits from businesses. PC=Fail.”
No, Macs are more expensive because they realize tools like you will buy them to seem cool and trendy.
“Should I go on? I don’t have to. Most of you have never even used a mac long enough to know. I don’t mind though. It’s okay because most of you would rather have quantity (of problems) than a quality machine that costs a little more.
Computers are meant to simplify your life… PC=Fail.”
Hey, I’m selling this rock for for a couple grand. It has ZERO problems! It’s IMPOSSIBLE TO HACK. It’s EASY TO USE!!!!! Sure it costs a little more than a PC, but just think about how COOL you’ll be once you have one!

And sure, there’s Linux, but what college student has time to customize their PC? (What ‘normal’ college student.) When the new Apple comes out, I am switching, no questions asked.

its fun to see long lines for a new apple product. then we can weed out all the tools in our world. even justin long [the "im a mac" guy] uses pcs. cuz macs cant take the gaming. and some games are better with a mouse WITH MORE THAN ONE BUTTON AND A NIPPLE or a consol controller. id rather play my fps’ with my deathadder, than a wii mote [no hate on wiis, brawl ftw] and most college students get macs because all they need is that garbage. they probably wont stay in college for long[drop out]. i need pc, because all the programs for an engineering student [with an actual future] are only for pc.

Ok… this is very funny. I don’t really care what OS you use (I have used Windows most of my life, but have tried Linux and Mac OSX as well), but the people that honestly believe Windows is superior/faster/less buggy than either Mac or Linux have *never* seriously tried Mac or Linux. Or they drew their conclusion before even trying. I actually laughed out loud at the picture with the bikes…

Hey Lexy, you should give Ubuntu a try. Linux has come a long way from being a glorified hacker tool to actually being user friendly. Here is the extent of customization in Ubuntu:
1) Download it (free) and burn onto a CD
2) Put the CD in the computer and restart
3) A menu sh
