The sad truth of PC vs MAC

Regular Visitor OS : Vista and OSx

The world is using pc over mac mainly because of the business world. The truth is that in the world today 85% of the people that use computers are pc users the other 15% is for Linux Mac and other small operating systems

Er, thanks for the fact. happy

The truth is that there isn't a superior OS out there, Windows, MAC, Linux and etc... have their pros and cons.

Each one has features that may appeal to users.

I agree that there isnt one thats superior but still microsoft is dominating the sales

Regular Visitor OS : Vista and OSx

Not only that but in the beginning microsoft kept apple alive So that the government wouldnt tax microsoft a bunch

Depends really.

Offices Use Windows
Professionals Use Macs (Designers, ect)
Operations use Linux (FBI, ect)

Different things for different needs.

this hasnt happened before xD i think microsoft is going to die : / good for me, bad for the rest of the world xD

Regular Visitor OS : Vista and OSx

vista? alxz seems to be happy withit though so it must not be crap for EVERYONE. it crashes a ton for me with almost complete optimization so idk.. Microsoft could also die if Mac takes over at least 25% of the computer market. another ~15% of end users use Linux already and almost every government uses Red Hat Enterprise atm so thats another 10 or so % so then MS could deffinanalty die

Vista works fine for me believe it or not. I've never had a BSOD on my current installation, I believe only 1 or 2 crashes as well O.o over the course of these 8 or so months

If I had the choice I would run over my windows pc and throw it against a wall, smash it, throw down to the ground from 1,000 feet in the air and repalce with all iMac, MacBook (Pro as well) for myself happy

LOL, i shot seven holes in my vista DVD (the one i bought) then scraped off the label and burned it, no joke, all true

Well id either get an alienware or a mac pro when i get a new comp im actually nuetral i dont prefer either i did prefer pc but now that mac has microsoft office it doesnt matter

I'm New From : UK OS : OS X, XP, Vista

windows isn't that bad i don't my vista is quite fast and i dont even have that good a setup and iv never had the blue screen the people that are complaining are the ones with the 5+ years old machines imo.

Apple isn't as perfect as you think tongue

and i would say windows is better, maybe because i need the stuff in windows more than i need the stuff in OS X.
