Mac or Windows???

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Postby coasterkid94 on November 13th, 2005, 10:31 am
Which do you like more, Mac or Windows??? I prefer Windows by a mile. It has so many more features and software. Also many games do not work on Mac. Why many people choose Mac is becuase they look cooler and newer. In reality, they stink! You can crash your computer by clicking and dragging your hard drive to the trash bin! The only thing I like from Mac are there iPods.

Ok, I have no clue what happened to my post...

In my opinion though, who would prefer Mac over Windows? I've never had or seen a Mac before, but from what it sounds like, it can't beat the greatness of Windows.

I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

OSX is way better then windows will ever be. Much more stable and includes features that windows is currently coping for the supposed "Future of operating systems". I do own both and have had way more problems with my windows PC.

Of all the people saying Windows is better, have you even used an Apple computer in your life?

I've used them a few times, but nothing extensive to really see their capabilities. I can't make a good judgement.

I've used macs. My schools from grades k-8 all used macs. I'm well versed in macs. And While they did have less problems then my windows and home....they just plain sucked. I'm sorry I can' give a more intelligent response, but they really do.

Except for movies. You gotta have mac for movie making. But everything else windows really is the way to go.

Macs aren't really designed for professional use. One thing that's nice about the Windows based computers at school is that we each have our own profile. I'm not to familiar with Macs, but they tend to be more for home/student use or small business.

Macs do have porofile capabilities at least as of OSX Tiger, and Yes Macs are more tailered to Professional media use. The kicker is, that windows runs much better on Macs. I set up Win 98 (The biggest piece of garbage in my opinoin) and had far less crashes and conflicts then when run on a PC.

Windows is way better. Mac makes it seem like it has features Windows doesn't have, but it does not at all. Windows has all the features, but harder to find. Mac I must admit is a lot less likely to get hit by a virus, becuase only 3% of people own Macs. For Windows all you have to do is get virus protection! We have so much virus protection, it gets annoying. Heres a funny story, my cousins friend was on my cousins computer (Windows) and saw something for virus protection come up. He thought it was an ad and shut down the software. Within 5 minutes the computer crashed! :D :D :D

Windows, and yes I have used a Mac computer. But as far as "gadgets" go, we use a lot of Mac stuff. They say 1 out of every 3 people have an iPod. Well, there you go. That's Mac.

I totally don't agree with you. Unless you are computer dumb, Windows is way better. Mac makes it seem like it has features Windows doesn't have, but it does not at all.

Sorry but I am not computer dumb, but Im not gonna argue with someone who is probably half my age.
