I didn't see a debate on this yet, so I said what the hell. Personally I have always used PC's for everything, and I am partial to them. Plus when I heard that the Mac OS is not compatible with nearly any commercially available game it made me chuckle. So yeah, PC or MAC?

We've had many of debates on mac Vs PC.
I stand on the side of mac/linux I've spent nearly my whole life on Windoze spent 4-5 years studying how to repair the computers, which quite frankly is a joke.
So i realized fuck that their always a pain to fix I'll just buy a mac.
Will never look back as many will know.
Quite frankly anyone who says mac is shit without trying has no argument.
Also a big fan of Linux I run it on many things I have it on a netbook and i have two servers currently running Ubuntu servers.
Windows has fallen and their only chance to climb is windows 7 which is brilliant i must say.
But they still lack in the hardware compared to Mac, Mac uses such brilliant hardware in such a way that it completes the machine.
No shitty plastic cases aluminium baby!
They even goto the detail of putting ECC memory in these things which quite frankly is memory you would see in servers not desktop computers.
it has sensors everywhere feeding the mac information.
Mac's are and will stay for a longtime bloody good, and no PC guru can tell me other.

I am interested in them, but Ive always bought windows because of the $.:frown: I heard they don't get virus's, or at least not as bad. But what do you do to upgrade your Mac, without having to go out and buy a whole new one?
•
You really don't upgrade computers that much anymore.
A mac is the same as a PC essentially its just really the design of some of the boards and how its all connected you still have the same ability to upgrade.
Idea is though you buy one and their is no need to upgrade it.
My iMac at work is at least 2-3 years old now and still running like a dream.
Mac's can get viruses anything can get a virus but its the way users are setup which really stops people getting them.
But yeah less viruses are made for mac because they have a smaller market share, and less people use them.

I'd been a long time Windows user, since Windows 3 in 1990. I made the switch last year. Finally after nearly 20 years I'd had enough of working around problems, fixing, re-installing, etc etc.
Don't regret it for a moment.
My partner made the switch earlier this year, my Dad a few months ago, and I've bought my second Mac (a Macbook to go with the Mac Mini).
It'd come up to anti-virus renewal time, and I had to send an email to the AV company we use saying we didn't need to renew 5 licences any more, we only needed one as we'd switched to Mac. A lady mailed back saying they'd had a lot of mail saying that recently.
Mac aint perfect, but it's more perfect than anything else I've ever used.

Quite. These days most of my computer usage at home is internet, email, chat, word processing and accounts for the farm. All that is pretty much the same on any platform.
Then it comes down to ease of use, reliability and budget.
At work I have to use a Windows machine. My work laptop is evil. It is hideously unreliable and so so slow! It - in theory - has a faster processor etc than my Macbook. You wouldn't know it.

Mac, cause i'm designing.
Studying that is.
Windows... lags...

I'm a computer technician and for the longest time I was a Windows Fan. I'm know completely away from windows on my computers. I've decided that I would run Kubuntu. Its similar to the windows desktop but man no problems. Shucks I can play a movie on here without it lagging like it did in Windows.
I don't own a mac but my Uncle and some other relatives do. I've used his before and I'm in love with his. I told him before don't be surprised if it isn't there in the morning.
Microsoft is to worried about releasing things right away to gain revenue instead of really testing and configuring anything. Thats the problem they don't give enough time for it to get completely worked out. Look at Vista. It was worse then ME and WIndows ME sucked too. Hopefully windows 7 is the new XP.
