Well firstly I'm going to say that at some point in this thread a shit storm Mac vs PC argument will arise so I'm gonna get my comment in before that happens. I choose Mac because I have always used Macs and because of that they just make more sense to me. I have always and will always use Macs. Not the best gaming support (although it is getting much better), but that's what my PS3 is for.
A-a-and, ninja'd by the first post. Although, even Windows vs OS X isn't a perfect one, since I'll be struck there choiceless and running Linux. Although if the question really was between the two, I'd probably go for Windows - more gaming oriented platform than OS X. And that's mostly the reason I use Windows. Oh, and I dislike Apple, so there is that.hulksmashley said:
Mac. I despise using Windows OSes, and Mac is more convenient for me than Linux.
Also, while the hardware is more pricy, I have weird computer juju going on, and when Apple hardware lasts 2-3 times longer than any PCs and is far more reliable, the pricepoint thing goes out the window with my personal situation, now doesn't it?
That being said, I do think Windows suit more people than Mac, but I don't think there's a universal "best." Its all about personal preference and situation.

Hackintoshes make the pricepoint argument far less relevant.DANEgerous said:
Just wondering....what do you mean by "hardware lasting longer than pc"?Erana said:
Also a installing macOS on anything other than a mac makes steve jobs angry (aka, against their EULA).
Mac.
It works best for me since I do a lot of audio editing and it's much better than doing it on a PC. Also, I've had way more problems with Windows and PCs than I do with Macs, but that just be my luck but whatever.
I will say the Mac that I have now made my bank account cry bitterly, shit ain't cheap!

I saw Windows 8 the other day...it made me cry :-( Not only does it look like tablet stuff, it looks like cheap knockoff tablet software. *shudder*Vault101 said:
OT: I use both at various times. Since I grew up through DOS then Windows, I generally use Windows PCs. There is also the gaming thing, and the fact that my work/laboratory computers are all PCs. Well, one's a NI PXI, which is worse than either, but that's beside the point.
I have nothing specific against macs, except that in terms of hardware you always seem to pay more to get less. Sure, they're pretty, but...seriously?
Yeah it looks terrible... and they think they're making it up for us by packaging what is extensively windows 7 with it as well... I mean you have a choice between the new, windows 8 interface or Windows 7 interface... with absolutely nothing changed expect the start up is only accessible through the tablet interface for some reason... and it's such a pain in the ass to navigate with a mouse and is hell to multi task windows in that format... so much dragging... there's no reason you can't just click... it's what a mouse was made for...>.<Vault101 said:
OT: I prefer windows... it's a lot more open and has so much more support compared to MAC... especially with games... I mean the open source nature of it is really it's big draw... especially considering how much control you have over the system... even hardware wise it's easier to control your system... mostly because it's allowed and access to the BIOS is an option...<.<
