Mac or Windows?

Euphoria · 02-03-2007, 11:04 PM

I've always wondered about y'all at the forums...

What do you use? A Mac or a Windows computer

Go ahead discuss...

Windows this way.

I use Windows because I've been using it since day 1. I like Macs, its interface and all, but I just can't get to terms with living without all of my Windows-compatible programmes. Plus, with Mac I'd have to buy special editions of software which may take longer to come into the market.

That said, if I'm studying overseas and leave the burden of a desktop PC at home, I might just consider a Mac. But not without testing Vista first...

I use Windows. Always have ..

I can't really comment on the newest Mac models, but the last time I used a Mac (2003) I found it very difficult to operate the system. Based on my experience, I also prefer the operation system of Windows. (styles, backgrounds, Internet)

I'd like to try a newer Mac

Despite all its shortcomings and annoyances, I prefer Windows. If I were to go for something else, it would probably be Linux, since I've never liked the look and feel of the Mac environment.

LMAO!

I switched from Windows to Mac over the summer. Went from a Dell laptop to a new MacBook, and I haven't looked back since. I absolutely love my Mac, and I don't regret changing at all. I love my Mac

EDIT: Well, let the flaming of the single Mac user begin, I guess.

Personally, 4 of my close friends and relatives have "switched" over the past couple of years and are all very happy with their choice.

I use Windows. A couple of months ago I thought about jumping on the apple wagon but didn't becasue the Macs out there doesn't have the specs do meet my needs.
These days I have quite a few people around me using macs and one thing is have with macs is that you can't right click, and thatäs really annoying. More over Macs have proven themselves to be as flaw less as I anticipated them to be. I'm a power user and during my first 5 minutes with a intel mac I managed to crash it.
