If you want to discuss open a new thread and don't start a flame war.

The microsoft programs are really annoying. It is most of the time pretty slow, crashes frequently, and never stops asking about updates (Ex. 'Would you like to download this new version of *Blah Blah Blah*? 'No.' "Are you sure you wouldn't like to download this?" "Yes." "This update is very 'special', you should download it now. Do you want to download it now?") and it doesn't do a very good job at all at blocking pop-ups. Some stupid people believe the pop-ups, do what they say, download some stupid stuff and get a virus.




The Mac, on the other hand, has pretty nice software and is a nice looking computer.

It comes with pretty cool free applications, it's fast, it will block almost all pop-ups if you active the anti pop-up thing, it has useful, easy hot keys for doing various things so that you can put in less effort rather than going through a 5 minutes briefing of 'Do you want this?'.

Apple also comes out with very nice software updates, and doesn't have you 'playing the slots' or 'gambling' for new updates that don't do too much other than make everything flashy.



And just to prove that I'm not just saying mac is better, I'll say this; If microsoft comes out with software better than Apple software, I'll choose mac over pc because PC runs that microsoft program that is better than apples. I won't just stick with a mac because its previous software was better. I'm no fanboy.

I also will not say 'PC is worse because less people use it' if people start using macs more. If one is better than the other, then choose the better one.





Most people who say pc is better is because they always have the reason 'My friends have pcs'... Or '90% of the American population uses pc, so why should I use mac?' Because most of that '90%' has never even touched a mac. Neither do they know what it does, so try it yourself.

This is normally the users fault by having too many programs open that exceed the RAM capacities.

You can turn off those notifications, or the entire update process, though.

Idk, vista is pretty good at that sort of stuff. But, I rarely use IE anyways.





Those things should be in effing art museums.


Windows has thousands of free applications that work better. It's just that Microsoft doesn't preinstall them(Although I heard rumors that they were going to put firefox instead of IE, ftw)

And the one thing I hate about Mac's keycodes are the symbols.


Have you even seen snow leopard? That thing's just a Windows service pack.


Technically you said Apple was better than MS there...

Just look at linux. Great OS, most people have never heard of it.


Ok, I FUCKING HATE THAT. Really. This is just an ignorant assumption that is untrue.
