Mac vs. PC

[iacas]

I like the fact that on all these threads the only people that post are the mac users but the windows users are happy with what they have and don't have to post to try and prove a point.

I don't think that's quite the case. Perhaps the PC users can't respond because they're too busy battling spyware, viruses, and crashes.

Well, at least the PC users who have no idea what they're doing.

I'm on a PC, and I think it's just fine - it almost never locks up, I don't get spyware or viruses... but then again I know what I'm doing. I stick with PC's because 1) I'm not sure of my stuff would even work on a Mac and 2) I don't like change. I'm not even going to Vista.

I would say it has more to do with the inability to effectively respond to and refute the Mac's claim on superiority.

I've always been a PC guy myself, and don't plan on changing anytime soon. At the university I attend there are a lot of Mac users, though, and I have to admit that Macs have some pretty neat features. Not neat enough to make me want to convert, though.

I disagree. (This actually sounds a bit like a trolling post, as it offers nothing relevant to the discussion... but that aside...)

I have built my own pc's for close to twenty years - something I'll never be able to do for my Mac - and I managed them with care. I can say that coming from both sides of the pond, the Mac experience has been, by a long stretch, a much better one. With the advent of Boot Camp, I can boot into windows for the odd app that isn't available on a Mac. Mac users, contrary to your insinuation, are actually a lot happier with their computers than windows users. Perhaps the windows people don't post because they are unhappy, and don't want to lie to others... The windows/mac debate is moot - windows won. The market share is simply too big to change that, but on the consumer lever, I venture to say that Apple will continue to gain converts from the windows world. An OS based on unix is - well - IMHO - far superior.... Blast away!
