I own a PC. I do however use a Mac occasionally.
I find they are generally more stable and far less vulnerable to viruses. They've got plenty of nice features and applications that look really good, and if you wanted to make music and stuff they look like they'd be great, but I never use them.
Personally, the Mac v PC war doesn't matter a damn to me. I prefer PC (or, more strictly, Windows OS) just because it's what I'm more familiar with, I don't really know Mac OS and sometimes struggle to sort stuff out.

In high school I was forced to use Mac's for my "Interactive Media" class. I got so fed up with them after a week I just started bringing in my laptop and using that.
Having been a enthusiast since I was a small child I am just used to the number of options Windows gives you. Mac is just over simplified. They have their market of being good for first time users, old people who want to e-mail etc. I understand that, I really do. It's just not very welcoming to someone who was born and raised on Windows 3.0.
What I don't get is the whole "Macs for video" bandwagon. Adobe CS studios are for both. Yes Macs come pre-loaded with iMovie and iEverything else, but that doesn't make them "better". It just means its ready out of the box. Has anyone even used Windows Movie Maker in Vista/7? Its actually quite good. No CS 4 but just as good as iMovie.
Also, for the love of christ can we get a mouse with two buttons?

Get Ubuntu! You can even burn it to a disk and try it without any changes to your system. It's a lot more customizable than both Mac or PC and runs on pretty much anything; that being said, there are compatibility issues, but you can easily emulate software.Megacherv said:
The reason Linux is advancing far more quickly than either of the big boys is because Linux is powered by tens of thousands of developers, while Mac and PC only have dozens.
I don't know, I just prefer Macs. I've always used Macs, my first computer was a Mac, and I just got used to them. I can see the benefit for PC's, but but to be honest I don't really see the point. I have a Mac, it does everything I need, why do I need to change it?
I've always preferred Windows. Also, is it just me that has never had a problem with Vista? I used a mac for a bit and the fever didnt catch. It didnt have that certain "je ne sais pas quois" for me.
I have nothing against Macs but every against those dumbfuck ads!
They piss me off!
Alot.
Homicidal anger.

How often did you use Vista? And what were your system specs?FanofDeath said:
I was running it on a dull-edge computer (dual-core 2.7Ghz IIRC) for graphics editing, and I had more problems with it than a psychopathic DID clown. It would crash, programs would hang, etc. etc. Not a fun time.
I actually get to compare the two every day, seeing as how my school uses Macs, and I have Windows at home.
I actually prefer the Macs because they, of course, have a wider screen, they run a little faster than Windows 7, and the colors look better.
The only thing I ever use them for is art and this, though.

A Mac is a PC by definition; however, modern connotations tend to make everything running Windows a PC and everything running Mac OS a Mac. A PS3 would classify as a PC at base, just a very specialized one.Megacherv said:
Well, technically, everything running Linux would be a PC, as all the systems you mentioned are PCs.Megacherv said:
