Apple Macs (rant)

Apple is just one giagantically well executed marketing campaign.

nothing else. if you have ever tried their OS and tried Windows you know just how horrible it is. working on both Macs and PCs the crashing problem is so amazingly bad on Macs. in windows it warns you that its going to crash and you almost always have time to save, but Mac just crashes (sometimes I think out of spite)

also if you have seen their new campaign they resorted to Political Mudslinging. they dont say Macs are good they just say PCs and their users suck

my mental image of Macs as snob little know-it-alls who only recently discovered they can actually click with two buttons and go "woot woot woot" about it, making them run around shouting things like "graphics!" and "moving menus!" and "we are soooo pretty" amoungst a lot of unintelligeble babbles

and dont get me started about Mac fanboys. its just crazy how missinformed they are.

the only advantage to Macs is that their are fewer viruses but virus infections are always the users fault. Macs solved this problem by just taking most of the control away from their users. which most of them dont realize. I personally cant stand working on only an apple. its like if Mac OSX keeps on saying your too stupid to do this, your too stupid to do that so I wont let you do them.

and the new version of Windows (Windows Vista) is prettier, safer, faster, and has more cool features than Mac OSX.

ahh what? okey the CAD companies liek autpocad haven't made a mac version yet ebacsue there hasn't been a big enough demand for autocad on mac yet ( as macs are more for artistic people then mathematicians and engineers...the image thing) however this is slwoling coming into play, and macs have both nivda and ati graphics cards so i don't knwo what the fuck your smoking.

t-man, i agree with you for the most part. but in case you haven't figured it out, arguing with these people is never going to work (too many apple fanboys and stupid people). just be proud of the fact that you know better.

funny that most graphic arts firms and art schools use macs. and that feature films have been cut and edited in final cut pro. and that most pro photographers prefer macs.

so they must suck really bad.

OSX pwns Windows. If you use OSX for more than a week you will agree. Windows is a chore to use. Exposé is amazing. iLife is amazing. Mail is amazing. Dashboard is amazing (you can get konfabulator or whatever on a PC but you have to install it yourself). Everything works how its supposed to. Force quit on mac actually quits the program where end task on a PC NEVER does.

I don't hate windows. Its just not nearly as easy to use or nice to use as OSX. Macs are overpriced but its worth it.

sorry but firefox is better then safari.

anyway, yeah i like my PC, i use it for gaming and my 3D animation software. but once i get a laptop it will be a mac (besides from looking all sleak and simple and stylish - they ARE really nice computers). but i'll still keep my PC for gaming and 3D work, and then i'll have my mac for...everything else.

all for the low low price of... :P

But hey, answer me this one guys:

I have been on mac (second gen ones) and on PC. I like windows XP a lot, simply because i know how to work the thing. I've been on it for so long now that i know exactly how to fix it and make it do what i want. Whenever im on Mac OSX on my sister's iBook, im confused as to what to do because im not used to it.

It has alwyas been that windows is easier and cheaper for everyone, and that mac is for a bit higher end computer users.

if you are able to build your own computer, or have a gaming computer, do it, and windows will never fail you if you protect it well.

but so to my question: i have always thought and acepted that macs are far superior when it comes to laptops. All of my close friends that have a mac laptop for college don't have any complaints. And with boot camp, you have the best of both worlds. Am i wrong in thinking that apple laptops are far superior to PC laptops?
