because yano, some people really love them and others are just like ARHHG!

Im not sure about the new macs, but i've got an 07 Macbook and habbo run's appallingly, and very few games are released for mac. On the other hand, web design and graphic design packages are a beauty on a mac, and also the Hardware and the GUI of macs are so much more beautifull than a pc.

I run both a macbook and a pc, so i'm never at a disadvantage

Buy a mac and run boot camp then you're good to go.

Mac is much more secure

I think Mac has better graphics, effects and better programs that are already installed...(and Safari, don't know if that's better than I.E)

Windows, I think, is more easy to use (start menu) and more of a popular choice to pick if you want a computer. And if you like to play games on a computer, then Windows would be your choice, but with this new Vista crap, it will set you back a bit.

If it were me, i'd go for Windows.

Aye? Compare the cost of a computer to that of a Mac and there's a big difference... Also, what Vista crap?

If you've not had a play around with a Mac, then it's probably best not to buy. Have a muck around with one and see what you think, asking people on forums normally results in just opinions being chucked around when really it should be down to you. In some cases, a PC is better, and in other cases a Mac. It all depends what you requires from a computer.

By Vista crap I mean the constant lag you get when you are trying to play a game on the computer (a game that is bought from a shop, and installed). I prefered Windows XP from Vista, that's what I'm saying. And yeah you're right about the forum thing.

My computer doesn't lag when playing games... Are you sure it's not your computer, rather than the OS?

When does Windows 7 come out anyway? It's probably best to wait till then to decide between a Mac and a PC.

[timROGERS]

My computer doesn't lag when playing games either, that's just you I'm afraid.

Could be anything from lacklustre hardware to too many applications running in the background that it causing it - Vista is certainly not the root cause though!

People always whine about Vista, but I have never had any serious problems with it! It works well for me in general, other than a few times...

Okay ill put it down as simple as i can. as i got a mac now its it was the best move i have ever done.

Okay OSX is fast and is very safe. its good for making movies editing photo's etc. but you can also run windows on it as boot camp so if you need windows you can still use it on your mac so there is no real lose.
