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!

    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
