Classic Apple marketing. Windows is virus ridden and doesn't work as well as Apple apps.

Guess what? It's not true!! I know you Apple fanboys love to think that we Windows users are constantly let down by our systems. But it's simply not true. Windows works wonderfully well for me and I love the huge selection of hardware and software that I can use with Windows.

Hey! Jobs! Back to the drawing board. Stick to making little slim portable devices.

I don't understand how Mac people claim Macs don't fail. Every time I EVER had to use a Mac in school I got the fuking bomb.

Don't fail my ass.

I love Macs. I prefer the OS to Windows, the designs are really nice looking, and I appreciate the ease of use and nice, Apple made applications.
















That said, I will never buy an Apple computer again.

Why? Their quality control has gone to hell.

My Imac? broken! (graphics card f.ucked up)

My Ibook? broken! (major problem with the graphics card across that evidently effected the entire line).

My current Mac Mini? Dvd burner is constantly messing up on, failing to burn discs most of the time.

Each of these problems is virtually impossible to fix by oneself, requiring a trip to a extremely expensive Apple Repair and Rape the Customer for Money Center (tm).

The only Mac on the market that seems nice now is the current desktop tower model, and it starts at $2500, way to much for what you get.

What really sucks is Apple used to make incredibly reliable computers, and had great customer support, but those days are long gone. I'll stick to Windows from now on. Ever since Apple became successful (releasing the Ipod and Imac) they've lost sight of what really matters. Trading in reliability and quality products for eye catching design was a bad idea in my book.

I'm not sure if anyone read the links but they're about security holes in Mac. The OP is being sarcastic.

Yeah. I got the OP but it was still about the general impression prevalent among Mac users that Windows doesn't work. And that anything Apple is so much better than Windows.

If I keep on top of applications with Xp, no prob. Don't want to think about Vista though.

One thing that puts me off Mac is their constant advertising in movies and TV shows - whenever there's a computer, there's the apple logo ... purposely implanted.
