Windows or Mac

i am a mac freak, and i got practically banished from the madnesscombat.net community for arguing against the assholes who just say PC pwns, Mac blows.
they are both excellent computers, for different purposes. mac is for everything except gaming. the people at microsoft don't even use their software. they use keynote, not powerpoint, and that made me feel proud on the inside. i don't want to get into some stupid argument with all the pc die-hard fans. but i personally prefer mac, because i have both operating systems on my computer, thanks to parallels.

 

As you said a mac computer is great, its just not good when we are talking gaming
Another thing, the price... Normally they cost a bit dont they?

 

i can't but agree for the price. they are costy, but still so many people have them, so it's not THAT big a deal.

 

About 2% of users have a Mac. Not an astounding majority by any means.

 

It isn't about the computer, it is about the OS


BTW, I don't have any issues with Leopard and Gaming, and SC 1 has NATIVE Mac OS X Version. No need to emulate anything....

 

Well, actually Marcus, I was citing stats that I've experienced on a number of websites as far as usage % from different OSs as having a "Mac."

About 2% of users have a Macintosh OS.

 

I want Mac and Windows to have a child. I want the child.

 

that would be cool.....
but what would the name be?

 

Macintos? ;D

 

macindows

 

This isn't space junk and posting a word can be followed by a penalty.

Windac ftw.

 

and the windac is a mac with parallels. i have a leopard and xp at the same time, running at the same time. i can go from one os to the other in 1 second.

 

Yes it will - visit http://starcraft2.com/faq.xml

Read last questions.

 

I own both, I love both. Both are equally useful in my life.

 

Mac + PC = devil baby.

 

It's nice to see window's fix A LOT of the problems with Vista SP1. It took about 30 minutes for me to install the damn thing, but things are a lot faster now. Things such as moving files and deleting them.

 

Ahm... Windows Vista made moving and deleting files buggy or slow??? OMG, it must be worse than waht I read about... If it cant do the most simple thing a computer is supposed to do, what is it good for?

That's why I use a Mac ;-)

 

So Vista SP1 is out now? Did it actually fix crap or is it still ridiculous?

I had such a hard time with Starcraft and other applications in Vista.

 

IOne thing you have to realise about Vista though is that the hardware resources are handeled much differently in Vista. The 9x line up to and including XP allows programs to see and interact with the hardware while Vista does not much in the same way that hardware is hidden from software in NT. The lack of access to the hardware is one off the reasons most games don't like VMware and run slowly

Thats why its slow. Of course it would help if hardware companies stopped releaseing bogus drivers.

Anywho I still use windoze because everything runs on it while most stuff doesn't run OS X. I play games other than starcraft. (also the 1 button mouse is retarded but that can be changed by buying a real mouse)

As for the computers themselves I don't much care for the closed system or one box design and I think they try to had to make a fasion statement out of Macs

 

Macs have 3 buttons mice with scroll (both horizontal and vertical) and optional bluetooth.
