Mac vs Windows

[Recursion]

Same on the console scene for me, I go round my brothers, he has all 3 consoles, Out of 360 and PS3, I am still biased towards the 360, same for Mac and Windows, used Macs enough in my life, used Windows enough in my life, yet I am still biased towards Windows

[DrLacero]

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.

You don't have to own something to have an opinion of it :S

I'd say you need to have used it for about a month to get used to it.

You said in Apple & Macintosh you only just got a macbook though

I know they're really hard to use if it's your first time.

Not a chance, whenever I used a macbook it acted like I was a baby whos never used a computer before. Enjoy your Fisher Price OS

I would think about buying a Mac, if they wern't outrageously expensive for what you get, compared to what you get with a PC with Windows. You're paying twice the price for the Mac, and getting half the specifications you'd get compared to a PC. I like the Graphical Interface on MacOS better compared to Windows, and Apple did a better job on Leopard than Microsoft did with Vista. I think Windows is generally more compatible with games than MacOS is. I think people claiming Microsoft steals from Apple is ridiculous (no taste, no original ideas, etc..), because of Xerox. The Mac vs PC ads are a total joke too in my opinion, I honestly don't know if Apple was trying to make spoof ads, or genuine ads . I don't think MacOS is better for designing I can only think of two cases where MacOS was significant with designing, one was the xBox. The Mac was used for design xBox games because they both used PPC processors, therefore Microsoft purchasd a substancial amount of PPC Macs. Secondly Pixar use Macs to develope on, because Steve Jobs was a C.E.O at Pixar.

Use the enter bar a little bit !

I have no favourite OS, I like OS X and Vista...

Really? I never seen when I first switched on my mac that I was a baby.

No, you don't, but you need to of used it to have an opinion. If I'd never tasted an orange I could just say 'oh they're disgusting', could I?

What does that have to do with what he thinks is a substantial amount of time to get used to it? The progress he has made so far with OS X, had led him to believe he will be fully Mac literate in one month, or maybe he's used OS X before on a regular basis? At school? Don't make silly assumptions.

What makes you think of Fisher Price? Thinking about your next Christmas present are you? No way have I ever felt like a baby using OS X, unlike when I use Microsoft Word and that silly paper clip asking me if I need help and all the silly yellow balloons that appear in the corner telling me that if I want to clean my desktop I could use the desktop clearance tool and such.

Enjoy your tatty, buggy, slow, failure of an OS! (AKA: The Virgin of cola's. If you've never heard of Virgin cola it was disgusting. Look it up. )

I have to agree Matt, I've always felt like a mature teenager using Mac OS X, which I am? :S In fact, I don't think Mac OS X has ever made me feel anything... except joy when I don't get BSOD's and multiple problems!

OSX > Vista
XP > OSX
In my opinion.

......X, which I am? :S In fact, I don't think Mac OS X has ever made me feel anything... except joy when I don't get BSOD's and multiple problems!

I have had no problems and no BSODs with my Windows PC thanks.

This thread makes me laugh. Everyone is so defensive over their choice of operating system. It's pathetic. Is it important to me, hell yeah. Is it worth argueing on a forum about? No way.

If you're truly satisifed with your OS, why do you need to convince other people that yours is the best? Variety is what makes the world interesting.

Everyone can just bicker, I doubt there will be an official ruling saying Mac OS X is better or Windows Vista is better.

I visually and technically preface OS X. After using Windows all my life, a change was imminent and I changed to Mac, and they just work much better IMO.

Seriously, XP is epic as-well. No problems with it.

Vista, well thats another story.
