Mac or PC?

iAmGen3ric · 28-08-2004, 03:39 PM

What is everyone's preferred? I was finally able to make the switch from Window's based PC to Mac OSX last January when I bought a brand new Powerbook G4 and I must say, I am officially a Apple junkie! I have found that virtually everything is better with a Mac. MacOSX, I definitely feel is one hundred times better Windows. I think the only thing Windows has on Mac is gaming, but Mac is catching up!

What are everyone elses opinions on Mac vs. PC?

I have a mac and a windows machine. I use the windows laptop as primary, in fact I hardly ever use the mac. The reason why I don't switch is that the mac os feels untidy to use - everything is transparent. In windows each program usually has a grey background - ah tidy

"I LIKE".

But I would like to like mac os, they are better in performance, look better and is the majority of systems in the graphic industry.

I have a PC, and I actually love my computer, but really, Im still trying to get my hands on a MAC, ever since I started using one of those at the office in the past, I liked a lot of aspects of them, starting with the fact that they dont have lots of security holes like winodws has.

Yea Mac's are definitely far more secure than Windows based machines. One of the huge plusses!
