_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

I've been using PC's since I was three. Therefore, I am biased to Microsoft.

And this topic has been discussed before...

it really can't, all decent editing/graphics programs were DESIGNED for macs and ported to pc's they only do it because they basically have to due to market share, macs rape face at anything graphical

If mac owns so bad, why do you need to run windows on it in the first place? I've had some very bad experiences with macs (my school loves them). Also, my friend's one seems incapable of running more than one programme simultaneously without getting completely confused...

Give me the new Mac Pro Quad, fully decked out, and I'll be happy.

I await the day I can run Windows programming on Mac OS X without any emulation programs (Yeah I know about BootCamp, but after the eye-candy interface of a Mac do you really want Windows's interface again?).

My college uses macs in the media suites and sometimes we use them, i fucking hate them. I spent all year on one and it still takes me 30 minutes to do something in photoshop that would take me 5 minutes.

The start bar is so much better.

Oh, my god. Ladies and gentleman, members of the jury, fire up the age-old thread. Time to bash MS.

https://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/microsoft/library/wwdc.jpg

Let's see, were to start!

Ah, gaming >
Quake 4 , dual core 1680 x 1050 on a 20" screen. No lag no nothing.
BF2 , captured 4 out of 5 flags before anyone else has loaded up.

Work >
Quark Xpress, Adobe CS2 (although a bit buggy sometimes due to the Universal Bin).

Core-Image, Dock, no BlueScreen BS, Rendevouz, Appletalk, .Mac.

Do I really have to continue?

There is nothing a mac can do that a pc cannot. In fact, there's a LOT more you can do with a pc.

Macintosh. "Crash Different"

Quality Components!

Whiners are people who are either scared, or can't afford them.!

I'm partial to ms because of my work. Honestly ms os, mac os, or any popular linux distro is easy to use and from a usability standpoint are almost the same barring some bells and whistles.

What the deciding factor here? What makes one "better"?

Microsoft	87%	87% - 189
Mac ( intosh )	12%	12% - 27
