> [@Matt Danger](#): > > Actually Windows runs really well on the Mac hardware primarily because of the driver disc that Boot Camp generates. An OS is only as good as its drivers so it can best make use of the hardware it’s running on. Plus, if you priced out a similarly spec’d Dell or HP computer I think the prices are pretty close. Building our own rig is obviously cheaper than both. You missed my point, which is fine, because I will mention it explicitly: PC’s suck because of the OS, not because of the hardware - that’s why ubergeeks run Linux. So, take a “superior” computer, and then load a crappy OS on it, and what do you have? Right back to square one. ---

I’ve had my mac for over two years. Knock on wood, Haven’t had a problem. now my dell desktop on the other hand, as soon as it connects to the internet i have all sorts of spyware ect… I’m not computer savy so the mac is perfect for me, so easy to use.
