i want a mac but..

If you don't know whether you want a Mac or not; you're best off not getting one. They're overpriced pieces of non-upgradable (if you're not technologically-literate) hardware that pride themselves on looking pretty.

OS X is just about what you want. I'm a fairly technical person, but I'm buying a Mac. Why? It's just because I like how they look and the operating system is great, in my opinion. There is also, in my opinion, a higher percentage of quality software than there is for Windows.

I'm not under any illusion that it is more secure or that viruses are impossible. If you know how to use your computer properly like many of us on this forum, you would never get a virus, regardless of any protection and firewalls.

@JewishBear:

I don't suppose you know how to read your own post properly. I'll post it again, so your little brain can have another go:

.... When OS X starts getting more (it's already started happening) market share ....

.... OS X is already starting to lose market share to Windows because the guys at Redmond ....

So, it's getting more market share (it's already happening:rolleyes but is already starting to lose market share at the same time? Doesn't make much sense, sorry borry.

That is how shares work, they don't just rise...

Yes, thanks for that Sherlock. It is impossible for something to rise, and drop at the same time. it either rises, then drops, or drops, then rises. He has said that in the present tense, NOW, right this SECOND, it's rising, and dropping at the same time.

I prefer using the mac for graphics design, photography and web design but I use windows for most things

I think OSX is nice but I'd never use it as my main operating system. For me, personally if I had a Mac I would have Windows 7/Vista as my main operating system and then OSX as a secondary one for all my design and development. Mac hardware is nice, reliable, with a long warrenty and lasts practically forever but I dont feel OSX is well supported enough to use it as my main OS.

Just my two cents on the matter.

The warranty is one year which sucks and no they don't last forever. I've never really come across any compatibility issues with anything (just fyi) My screen on my iMac is already ******* up 6 months after warranty is up, it gets weird thin stripes down it (like half a mm) when it's warm, WHAT A JOKE!
