I dont think you people acually know where apple is currently in this world. I am web designer and a programmer. I take college classes in both subjects and ive used both windows and apple interchangebly. First off id like to say going from a windows to a apple is exacly like going from a manual transmission to a automatic. This is why when people first buy apples they tend to throw windows away. Ive been using windows since i was 6 and it has taught my everything there is to know about computer hardware. DUE TO THE FACT EVERYTHING GOES WRONG. There are always errors on a windows. Apple never gives you errors and if it does it usually explains what the error is and exacly what it is caused by. Apple is like an automatic working with it will give you huge amounts of spare time. No errors to deal with. I installed a fresh copy of windows XP prof. yesterday, i loaded up windows movie maker for the first time.......and i got an error without even doing anything to it. Seriusly windows needs to get its act toghthere before Apple does overun it. You might complain about software. Windows has 5 different word processing programs because none of them works hense the famous nerd/geek oxi-moron... Microsoft Works ...... apple does not need 5 different word programs. Also 90% of the computer games run on both apple and windows. A apple with a 256 MB of Ram and a 1.5 ghz Proc. is equivalent to a PC 384 MB of RAM 2.2 ghz. Simply put Apple owns hardware wise.

" First off id like to say going from a windows to a apple is exacly like going from a manual transmission to a automatic."... yes, but who drives automatics? lazy people, girls and people who can't actually drive. Automatics are easier at first but then you realise you can't do any fun shit with them, can't do any real fancy braking, drifting, accelerating... Your freinds (except the lazy, female or ones who can't drive) will be taking the piss. But now I understand these new age hardcore nerds a bit more, melvins who use Apples must be either lazy, girls or people who can't actually do anything with a computer (well, basic stuff anyway)...

Red, what you said at the end is why people use Windows. "A apple with a 256 MB of Ram and a 1.5 ghz Proc. is equivalent to a PC 384 MB of RAM 2.2 ghz. Simply put Apple owns hardware wise." Why have a slower PC with less ram and ghz proc when you can have a faster one? Sure you get errors but people just deal with them. Like me, I get a error I just say "Fuck it" and close it off. "Windows has 5 different word processing programs because none of them works hense the famous nerd/geek oxi-moron... Microsoft Works ...... apple does not need 5 different word programs."

Now for what you said about this, just becuase windows dosnt cram every single file they put along with the PC together dosnt make it worse. Some people find it easier, some people can FIND them easier instead of searching through all of the options, like File, Edit, etc. They broke it down for costomer benefits. Which is the second reason why people prefer get windows over apples. Also they look at Bill Gates and say "Hey, he is making money off of windows. It must be a good then" If Apple had more products or more comercials then maybe it would get noticed.

Now for your lession, before you try and get all 'this is what I think and the way it should be' hear me out. Compare the 2 products and find out why people prefer which ever one. Ask yourself "Well why did Windows break it up into 5 programs?" And then you wont need people like me solving little problems with thinking everyone is going to agree with you. No, just becuase you downloaded it dosnt mean you "mastered" windows. Ever think that Bill Gates might of compared it to Apples, maybe asked what people prefer in a product like this? Again no, you didnt. Im not saying you should switch to Windows, if you like Apples then stick with it. To sum it up, think before you speak.

Oh and Sevensinz, I just read your post. Very interesting, you know if you think there are backdoors or viruses on your computer then you can always buy the product, from the store. Im sure that dosnt have a backdoor and any viruses on it. Because I dont know to many people that stalk Windows trucks and switch them...do you? If you want to stop getting viruses and spyware and all that stuff, STOP DOWNLOADING LIMEWIRE OR KAZAA TO DOWNLOAD FILES. Get a REAL anti virus protecter, scan each file before downloading it. Its that easy. And to you their new media player might blow to you but to other people and I really dont know how many more but I am sure a lot it is great. I mean, I havent seen a Apples media player in the store in awhile.

Now for your lession, well you defended Apple in a way that had no use to it. You did a great job on your grammar. Oh and you said "and u can do anything with APPLE that u can do on WINDOWS" Okay whats your point? Yeah we already know windows is or "can" be as good as Apples but Windows give more options than Apples. Which is why a lot of people say Windows > Apples.

Im still thinking if I should bookmark this topic and see what you two have to say. We shall see...

First off this is a humor site. Im not goning to make sure my grammar is perfect on everything that i type. As in eh your case Lession? do you mean lesson? Seriusly dont be a hypocrite. You also siad something about comparing both products to each other. This paragraph is being written on a Apple Power Mac g5 Duel Processors 2.5 ghz each. Next to me sits my 2.5 ghz 1 gig ram Pentium 4. I use both computers interchangebly.

if you noticed when bill gates shows off something he says stuff about it but not a lot. he also repeats what he says as well. that is why the guy is rich, if he would say everything about it the pros and cons i think there would of been a new company with something better right now. Also bill gates demonstrations tend to fail, its not rare when they fail. watch the conan o brian clip there is also 5 others that i have seen where he bombs on.

Alright first of, WTF? I dont give a shit if you have problems with english. And if I did indeed try to say something about your grammar repost it. Okay and second, comparing the products you have inside of your computer is different. Not everything is the same. Thats what I was pointing out, why would you want something to get something that is crappier than what you can get for the same price if not cheaper? Makes no sense, oh and btw. I mispelled 'Lesson' maybe a few more. But if you want to go all "hypocrite" on me about my spelling then please point out my 1-10 mistakes in a 1 page. When compared to yours, well...to many to count. Can you say spell check?

I can't believe something like this got so many comments. Someone obviously posted this because it's humorous how much technology has advanced. In fifteen years you'll be laughing off what the PS3 can do.

To the topic of debate: Windows versus Mac!

First off, redhatlx9, you poorly presented an unthought debate. There is a reason there are both manual and automatic transmissions. Manual transmissions allow you to do things automatics do not. You aren't going to go out and build your own Macintosh. Which, by the way, you cannot compare store-bought PCs to ones you made on your own. My mother's Dell has problems out the bung-hole. My PC runs fine. I assembled mine.

Macintosh CANNOT compete against Microsoft, so the people in this thread saying they can: stop. Microsoft is the biggest computer company in the world(next to IBM). They would put Macintosh under if the presented any kind of a commercial challenge to them. Look at Netscape, and any other company that stood up to the corporate giant.

Also, Windows has three word programs, not because they dont work, but because each serves it's own purpose. MSWord has anything you could want out of a word program, and more things you don't care about. Wordpad is a general formatting program, and Notepad is an ASCII-only editing program usually used to edit config files and such. Macs have problems too, they are just SEVERELY LIMITED. Not only in the problems, but in what they can newly present. They effectively limited their problems but also effectively limited what customers can do with the machine.

All in all: If your going to use a computer for general use -- it's a safe choice either way(Unless your computer illiterate, then go with Mac).

If your going to be doing graphic or video editing, go with Mac.

Gaming, or other very cutting-edge software -- PC.

in my opinion, it's the user that causes errors most of the time. bad maintenance, over multi-tasking etc.

any OS if used properly should be without any problems, only difference would be the reasons for using the OS. for a MAC, multimedia, and for microsoft, all rounded entertainment.

In my opinion Apple is a whole lot better than microsoft. I've used windows and mac os. If you try to run anything on windows it crashes. It's rediculous. I've ha d reformat my windows machine a countless number of times, and I'm no newb at computers. I've taken god knows how many classes, from cisco networking to A+ Repair, so I know what I'm talking about. Apple computers on the other hand I've had absolutely no problem with. The programs run fine. Even on my old apples from 10 years back. I guarantee if any of you so called windows lovers where to switch to a mac os you would never go back. Again this is my opinion so all you bill gates fanyboys calm down.

If i remember correctly the Mac was such a big deal cause up until this the best computer around was a commodore 64. So yeah something like 32x the memory and proccessor power of the next best thing was pretty impressive( I think some one else said it has 2048K of ram which sounds about right) Whether u like nostagia or not that little box is pretty much the first real "Personal Computer"(At least that could do much of anything useful) and ancestor to what you are probably viewing this page on right now .. Mac *OR* Windows

Don't forget people

Xerox created the 1st Graphical User Interface, Steve Jobs paid them a visit, Steve Jobs stole that Graphical User Interface. Enter Bill Gates...Bill meets Steve...Steve shows Bill and the gang the User Interface like a dumbass.

Microsoft becomes what it is today and Bill Gates becomes the richest man in the world.

Also....Apple is going to become much better when they switch from IBM processors to Intel. More people will have access to the Apple OS which is far more stable than Windows. Keep in mind that on Apple computers, viruses don't exist. anyone here seen Microsoft Windows Vista yet? A LOT of it is being straight ripped off Apple systems

I'll just quoute Steve Jobs

I love how Apple users always act like PC's suck and they know so much about computers. You can't even debate with them before they blow up on you and get pissy.

FACT: Windows current has 93% of the computer market
FACT: Apple has 4%
FACT: Unix/Linux has 5-6% of the market.

Thus making the MAC DEAD LAST! Is there a reason for this? Does the rest of the world just not get it?

And aside from computer, the prick Stever Jobs is such an arrogant pompass asshole it makes me sick. He acts as if he invented the Mouse (Xerox did) and he acts as if the iPod was his idea. It is a friggin Sony Walkman that reads MP3's, big fucking deal.

Steve Jobs has never made the top 50 philanthropists lists EVER. Yet he practically owns Pixar and Apple?

Bill Gates has been the #1 philanthropist for years.

concerning the mac/win war, I use windows simply because everything is compatible with it. Yes I know Macs got better graphics, but there's nothing worse than to find out about a really cool game or program only to learn that it isn't supported by your OS. And concerning errors, XP isn't as bad as with previous versions. And when things do go wrong, system restore is a life saver.

I love how people compare Apple, a computer maker, to Microsoft, a computer PROGRAM maker.

Sure, Apple's OS is more stable than Windows - but that is because it only supports a very limited number hardware configurations, made by a limited number of manufacturers.

Windows on the other hand has to be able to support just about any kind of hardware configuration made by a huge number of hardware manufacturers.

If Apple had won, and the IBM PC had been discarded, we would STILL be using that original Mac. Why? Because competition breeds innovation. The more hardware manufacturers there are competing in the marketplace, the more innovation that occurs. That is the very basis of the capitalist system - competition breeds innovation.

We havent even gotten into price! But the same holds true, the more competition, the lower the prices. That is why IBM PC compatible hardware is far cheaper than its Apple equivalent.

The fact is, if it wasnt for IBM, Microsoft, and the thousands of companies world wide that supported those standards, our computers today would not be much better than that old Mac.

That is why Apple computers are becoming more like a PC than the original Mac. They are trying to take advantage of the innovation that has occured SOLELY because of the IBM PC.
