APPLE STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND TOOK CARE OF IT.

THE ONLY DOWNFALL OF MAC'S CAME WITH THE NEW INTEL
PROCESSOR.

I HATE TO SEE APPLE GO DOWN THE TUBES FROM FLAWED TECHNOLOGY.]]>Aug 7th 2008 9:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/Oct 31st 2008 12:33AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/Aug 6th 2008 6:28AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/R U

Flash forward to this year, where, for the first time in over 10 years, I bought a mac pro BUT i also installed vista on it.

Why?

The mac pro can take an insane amount of ram.
Photoshop cs4 will be the first 64 bit enabled version of the program plus it will be able to allocate more than 4gb of ram. BUT it will only be available on Windows for the frist six months or so due to Apple not supporting a 64 bit version of one of their programming languages.

Best of both worlds, yo.]]>Aug 6th 2008 7:17AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/Aug 6th 2008 7:33AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/Aug 28th 2008 1:42PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/Aug 6th 2008 7:18AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/
Nowhere in your series of articles did you mention that Macs can run XP or Vista.

Also, the Mac mini, iMac, MacBook, and Mac Pro have three year warranties for less than $349.

How about the time wasted when you do / don't update virus and spyware protection? That's a real tangible for Windows chusers.

Nice job...

A brief story: I had a 4X DVD burner that had only a "Windows" badge on the box. It worked fine in my Mac. Then I sold it to an XP bud for $20. He had a 2GHz rig, Pentium 4. After a week of it not working in his rig and coaching via phone, scrounging the internet for firmwares, flashing via DOS (all horrors I had to endure while I coached him), the best we could do is burn at 2X and eject the disk after the burn. Otherwise his rig would lock up. The Windows Rage I went through for about three weeks total was not worth the $20 at all.

Remember. the iPod is the number one mp3 player on the planet not because of Mac users. Think about why. Nothing else worked / works quite as well, despite "all those options" out there for Windows users.

Thanks for mentioning that stuff. Yes, you are correct. We updated the extended warranty information and added a bit about how Macs can run Windows XP -- an important point!

Best,

Tom

I also find the blind Mac sheep, the people that buy Macs just because they are "cool" or "hip" and just add comments like "Macs are better" or "PCs sucks" with out backing up their claim at all.

I don't really care about Macs or PCs. I support most Windows based systems at work, because lets face it, in the corporate environment, Windows is really the only choice. But we do have some Macs that we have to support also. I could pull stats from our issue tracking system, but I am pretty sure we have as many calls per computer for the Macs as we do the PCs. This whole false bubble of Macs just working or being more secure (one of the stupidest claims since it will give people a false sense of invisibility) is just myth.

At the end of the day, I don't care what type of computer I support, I just care about getting the job done. At home is another story, I run linux on on my computers since I don't want to have to do extra work or worry. While some may say that not having to do extra work is a oxy-moron with linux, and some cases it can be. Overall, I know I spend less time supporting it then I do with Windows or OSX.]]>Aug 6th 2008 8:21AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/
You must know a lot about programming? Do you realize that there are already a bunch of 64 bit programs out there but all are for windows only? So you think all those different companies are lazy? Wouldn't you think one of them would want to be the first if it didn't mean an entire rewrite of their code?

I LOVE YOU PC!]]>Aug 6th 2008 6:13PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/
Although Linux sounds great, You can't play with Linux, Ubuntu gives some chance. You can play with both Mac and Windows. You can use Photoshop with both Mac and Windows.

if you want Unix, use Solaris, HP-UX. If at home... Mac OS X.

Granny wants Word? you have MS Office 2008 for Mac

And what's better, it is steadier than a PC!!!

Changing parts in a Mac Workstation is easier than in a PC, no matter if it is self built or from Dell or HP.

I'm not happy with any Support from any Company. Worst, maybe ACER, and it doesn't matter if it is for home or a company with a 24/7 Gold Support with Dell or HP, or even SUN.

You'd rather know first the Company's support in your city...

good luck!!!]]>Aug 6th 2008 9:13AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/06/mac-vs-pc/Aug 6th 2008 9:33AM
