I was just stirring up conversation…
With a mac you can’t just buy random hardware for it. This is why you never hear of macs that don’t work after a hardware upgrade.
Also the o/s doesn’t need to be reinstalled every year because it is based off of unix.
If you run servers in the IT world you love macs because you are on the same native platform as off of your linux servers.
For home use they are better because you never have to worry about virus’s and other such crap like that.
The for mentioned software problem is bs unless you are a gamer.
Windows is always broken. Mac os/x is not.
My question still stands. What was that users issue on msn. I only asked because I wanted to try to help them out.
I am really tired of non IT people commenting on the whole mac vs. pc thing.
I don’t really care what it comes down to. If you prefer a pc then stay pc if you like mac then stay mac.
I run on every flavor of hardware and operating system on a daily basis. All my systems at home that I care about are running linux if they are pc’s.
Unfortunately, we’re all biased. And as you said yourself, non-IT people (aka moi), don’t like Mac because we’ve only experienced Windows.-- but unfortunately, the majority of the market is windows based.
Well… we do have those BMW/coffee/Mac meets every week…
I’m proud of the constructive discussion that we’ve started… :R
