Real Plug and Play. - Windows Vista is very fast at installing something automaticly.

Fewer security holes.

Stability.

Better user interface. Not a chance, Vista has the best interface.

Quartz graphics layer - antialiasing, built in PDF, smoothed fonts, 128X128 icons, transparencies, drop shadows, genie effect, GPU accelerated GUI, cursor casts its own shadow, no bit-maps :mad: . - Vista does smooth fonts, nobody uses PDF, Vista has transparencies, vista has shadow.

Multiprocessor support. XP Home doesn't have it. - Yeah but Vista does and it is better than OSX.

Sherlock 3 and/or Watson.

iMovie, iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, iCal, iSync, iChat - Software, Windows comes with it to pal and let me tell you there is more out there for windows.

Realtime video editing - Ever hear of Movie Maker?

Digital audio such as cubase, protools

no need for firewall - Yes there is there is viruses for Macs too. Not as many because it's an unpopular beast.

______________________________________________
THINGS BETTER THAN OSX ON WINDOWS:

WayWayWay more programs.

Nobody wants to simulate OSX on Windows, it IS possible.

Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Vista sidebar that kills Mac totally.

Overall looks better.

Our computers look nice unlike macs.

Better looking icons.

No stupid "i" in front of everything.

IIS.

More users for Windows.

Good virus protection. With it and use right the PC has no viruses.

InkBall.

Windows doesn't make stupid tv adds like Mac does.

We got GTA

We have a button for PrtScn and it doesn't clutter up space by saving pdfs all about.


The only good thing about Macs is that they are unique, I liked the G3 iMac but I dislike the new ones. They are a flat screen, too small now, if I want a compact system I'll get a laptop thanks .

[Pitch]

You do know, that to run iTunes you HAVE to have quicktime? So quite a few people use it.. they just aren't smart enough to know it. Windows has had their fair share of stupid TV ads, but does adverts mean they dont make as good products? Clearly not. PDF's are used by millions of people, to make a PDF on windows you have to download clients and create it by sending it to print through drivers which distorts most images and creates HUGE file sizes. That list is 3 years old, created when windows XP was out. I dont know what VISTA does, its just not as good as its supposed to be. Also, you'll note that I have proven the point macs can do more, because you haven't said every single one the mac can do better than the PC, and again for bluetooth this is only done through using hardware. Windows Vista permissions are nowhere near easy, to run most applications you have to provide admin access, EVERY TIME. (Even though your accont is an "admin")

I just re-read your post, the last line made me LOL. Movie-maker isnt realtime movie editing.

[FAQz]

Personally I have only used a MAc once or twice but I was quite impressed with it and considering I have used a Pc almost most of my life. hehe. I was amazed that I could still manage to adapt to using one. The only bad thing about them that I have found so far are that they have one buttons mouses which can really get on my nerves especially when I am so used to right clicking after saving images on the internet or playing games like runescape for example.
However overall I believe the Mac and pc are pretty evenly matched but still if I had to choose between the two I believe that I would choose the PC simply because of the mouse problem and Im used to using one...

Movie Maker is all you need though. Bluetooth works fine I don't know what you're on about. Macs obviously do not do more, look at my list? And I didn't answer every one in your list because I didn't look at them I just did the ones I knew, not many people use itunes, we use napster. For free music we use other programs. I hardly ever change the admin perms on Vista I don't need too. Not many people use PDFs and all you need to do is download a very quick tool to use them that works great thanks. Making a PDF is easy, use photoshop haha. I could of made a list 2 miles long of things that Windows can do that Mac systems lack. I'll start by saying you can do more on a Windows system because there is more programs and games.

[Crimson]

I've used Mac and Windows, I hate Mac. I really, REALLY hate Mac. lol

[Colin-Roberts]

If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called "Mac fix it" exist, ********? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:

-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe "S" key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can't drag and drop!

Looks like your Macs aren't perfect after all.

There is no graphics application for the Mac that can do what WinImages can -- not even close.

lacks the rite click options of windows.

OS X86 has had MANY problems , cause of hardware incompatibility.

COM/ActiveX and .NET for productivity?

Buy a computer for less than $500

hardware upgrades are easier on windows.?

Shall I thank you in advanced for taking my windows chart and one of my answers?

[DaveTaylor]

Lets just say, if you have had a blue screen on windows, its because its windows, never heard of such thing for a mac...

[Technologic]

WIndows Vista is a lot better than OsX but OSX is a lot better than Xp..

Vista can run a lot more programs simultaneously than OSX can..

Up to 90 movies at once.. Not that anybody would want to do that...
