MacBook Help/Questions - +Rep

[Awfy]

Right, I'm a MacBook user and I switched from Windows. Best thing I have ever done. Plus the fact if you buy a MacBook how you can run Windows XP or Vista. So overall you're better with a Mac as you can now run anything. The Mac OS is just incredible compared to Vista. The ease of use but still being able to have an amazing looking design is something unheard of in desktops. The windows Vista looks awful compared to Leopard.

People say that Macs are expensive and over priced, however check the OS prices. OS X Leopard is £85 for the FULL package and installs on any Intel Mac. However, the BASIC Vista is £99 and that has basically a different look and that's it. Also the fact Vista is probably the worse OS since Windows ME.

Viruses are also a big thing, on a Windows you have to cram it to the rim with software to control the viruses and spyware you receive on a daily bases. However, with a Mac there is nothing. I have never had to download a scanner nor scan my MacBook. The firewall which is built in controls everything amazingly.

Out the box and go is probably the best bit. When I bought my MacBook it was a 2 hour drive home, so instead of waiting I got it out the box and switched it on. That was it, setup done! However, if it was a Windows you'd go through TONNES of menus and asking for details that they don't really need. Then at the end of it all it will ask you to connect to the internet.

The few club is cool also. As not many people know what a Mac is and those who do love them. So people are generally interested in the sleek looking and shiney MacBooks. The design just says "I'm cool - end of right?". I haven't found a Laptop to date that looks better than a MacBook. I like to have whatever I'm using to look the part, and a MacBook does that with ease.

I also saw someone said you're better off with a Windows to browse the internet? Why? So you can attract the millions of viruses out there to your computer? The connectivity in a Mac is amazing. When I got home I switched it on and it had connected instantly. However, my Granda's £900 ZooStorm laptop had a good 30 mins to connect as it needed the Belkin software. Just remember you can visit trojan filled sites and leave without a trojan, unlike a windows

I seriously lol'd at the above post, I have never read such a load of ******** on a forum. Only complete idiots have any problems with viruses and the reason macfags don't get them is because hardly anyone uses Macs so it is pointless writing viruses for them.

Right, okay. Ask the top Windows Developers what they create things like widgets and so on, on
