I don’t get why white2abbit is getting so serious over this whole thing either. Is Apple paying you to defend them? You took time out to reply to every post. If Macs are all that great, why do you need to defend them so much?
I had to use a Mac for 10 months to help with designing a yearbook and I can’t say I totally enjoyed the experience. There were lots of frustrations along the way that I wouldn’t have dealt with if I had a PC to use. Mind you, there are definitely some upsides of using the Mac. (esp. the DVD portion of the yearbook. i.e. Final Cut).
Anyone who seems to think that Macs don’t crash or get viruses are fairly clueless as well. Macs are far more insecure than PCs, just take a look at the yearly pwn2own contest. Macs always fall first and even all the top hackers have said that Macs are just far too easy to exploit.
The only reason why Macs don’t have as many viruses is because of their low market share. Why would someone target an OS that has a 15 - 20% market share when they can target Windows which holds an 80% market share?
I’m just passionate because I was a PC user for 10+ years, and could never conceive going back. Like one person commented, you never really hear of someone switching to Mac, and then switching back.
I’m not defending them either. I could give two shits what anyone here uses – I’m just trying to offer my advice. Don’t want it, fine.
