Thats why i partition my hard drive with Vista on one half and Linux on the other.

:)

 This is nothing personal but bugs on XP are usually the fault of dumb users. I run XP and use it regularly. I dont have any firewall/adaware or virusscan and it has run perfectly for more years than I can remember.

Don't need to use seperate hard drives when i got a 750 gig HDD. :P


I love my worker discounts so much.

PC, because Apple Users are worse than scientologists when it comes to preaching.

OT: Steve Jobs is no better than Bill Gates, and is now employing the very same tactics for which Microsoft was slapped with several antitrust suits a few years ago.

I'm not going to say all of them are like that, but a lot of Macsters have elitest mentality just because they choose to use Macs over PCs.

The mac OS is much easier for casual people than Windows thats for sure.

Macs are more expensive. But I'm still a mac user for two main reasons.

1: OSX. I'm a big fan.
2: Exclusive software. Software like shake is only on the mac.

BTW I do own a mac pro, mainly because it was the perfect choice for my post-production work. I'm glad I got it, its a great computer. Why would build a windows computer if none of the software I use would run on it?

And yes I do wish apple would put out a normal desktop targeted at the normal consumer and gaming. I think it would be a great move. However the mac pro is not targeted at the gaming market. It would be useless if it was as no games would run on it unless you dual boot, which is stupid. Just build a cheaper windows gaming machine.

Funny, every time I get on a Mac vs. PC argument, it's usually to defend some misinformation given by PC users. I have no need to preach. If you want a Mac, go buy one. If you don't... well... don't.

I will say this though, the fact that Mac users as so positive about the products should say something. My first MS OS was DOS in 1981. I have owned (and enjoyed) every OS M has made aside from Vista (I have used it, I just hated it and uninstalled it). I make my living because of MS. I am a .NET developer. I have an MSDN license that allows me to use any MS software product for free, and yet I still spend money on there competitors products.

That should say something. And to all the people who think Vista is better, how many have spent more then a few minutes with OSX? I bet almost every one who thinks OSX is better has a very good understanding of MS OS's. That should tell you something too. 

And yes, Steve Jobs is a douche-bag. He has a lot better vision then Mr Gates (I like what he did with NextStep), But he is no different in personality.

Still, even if you wanted a gaming computer or merely a computer for music and internet browsing, it'd still be cheaper to run to newegg.com and build one yourself, which I believe still falls in Kenobi's argument of PC's being cheaper.

It is true that if you want a gaming PC you’re much better off without buying an Apple, but that's not the same argument that Apples are overpriced.

They are not in the market of making gaming PC's, so trying to fit something they make into that use, and then complaining that Apple is overpriced is just not right.

It's like buying the most economical 18 wheeler semi, and using it as a commuter car, and then complaining that it's over priced compared to all the other commuter cars.
