I use Windows and prefer Windows. Always had a Windows tbh.
The thing is, she just turned it on and it wasn't there. I was hovering over her because she was in the same room as me and I was wondering what she's doing and it was quite funny watching her going "Ohhh... What's all this then?" in her teacher like voice. I've not heard of a computer or even a Mac delete it's own OS before, and I can't see how it is possible on a Mac when they self-glorify reliability and suggest nothing like this should happen, considering they're meant to be easier to use and safer to use than a PC. At least with a PC you can blame the user when they delete System32 files, the same goes for a user getting a virus. Their fault, not the systems :P
And my aunty is a bit dippy, so nothing wrong with you saying that. But I really don't get how she could delete a whole OS (according to Apple) when they're meant to not allow this.

But I know so many people here who say they prefer Windows haven't even used a Mac properly... I'd say you need to have used it for about a month to get used to it. I know they're really hard to use if it's your first time.
I just think having used windows all my life, the mac just does everything mor smoothly for me - it feels like it knows what I'm trying to do and helps along the way.
I see one major advantage with windows, and that's the fact that most people use them. Other than that I'd never go back.
AAMOF, I once turned on my System, and I admit, all I got was the Apple logo then the blue screen... I thought oh ****, Apple sucks! But you know what? Nothing had happened at all, I'd turned it off by the plug by accident (I thought I was unplugging the lamp :P), so I inserted the install disc, pressed Archive and Install, and in 7 minutes I was back up and running with the exact config I had before (and apps and documents and such). If I got a BSOD on Windows, it might of taken me a bit longer and I might of lost my data.Quote:

Get to know how to use them and you might prefer it, you might not. It's not hard and it certainly doesn't take a genius to think of it.
Yeah I do think you can only give an oppinion if you've actually used both. Alot of the people I know say they don't like Macs because they either haven't used them, and don't want to try to because they're creatures of habbit.
When it comes to technical problems my Windows just screwed up constantly and my Mac never has, and my dad's had one for a year and it's never messed up.
By the way, I can't close thread anymore cos I just lost VIP.
I have used high end Macs and my opinion is still biased to Windows.
I have used both and I prefer Windows by far.
Windows and just windows, But I love the iMac movie making :I
Interesting to see on the poll, that 4 people use windows and prefer mac, and no one who uses the mac prefers windows. (so far). I just think loads of people are saying windows is better because they don't have a mac and it's human nature to be biased to what you have.
It's the same with PS3 and 360 - my mates with ps3 say ps3 is better, and mates with 360 say 360 is better - but my mates with both say ____ is better. I'm not saying which one they said because I don't want to start an argument. But they all said the same console.
