So using your argument: Microsoft Windows = the best OS in the world?

I have a powerbook G4.  It blows nuts.  Multitasks horribly.

Bill Gates may be Satan, but I\'ll run with the devil before I ever invest anything into Apple.

There is no way I can explain to you how much of a pain in the ass it is to be on a Mac in the business world.  Constantly we are getting stuff in from other people and it doesn\'t work.  So annoying.

I have to send it to my home address, see what it is at home, blah blah blah.

And don\'t even get me on how the email encodes attachments.  Oh God.  I\'m fine, but most everyone in our office if they send a word document out to someone it changes from a .DOC file to a .DAT file.  So friggen annoying.  Then you have to act like a total retard to the client and tell them to change the extension back to .DOC and all will be fine.

I see absolutely no reason for the being of the Mac.  PC\'s have cought up tremendously on graphics and desktop publishing.  5-10 years ago I would say, yeah, get a Mac if you are in publishing, but I just don\'t see an edge any more on the Mac side.

People who send html e-mail should be kicked in the nuts by the hulk.  Same thing for m$ word users.

Winbloze and it\'s 3 char extenstions = doo-doo.

Odd. I have used Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2K, Linux Redhat, Linux Mandrake, OS 9, OS X and other variants and ya\' know what? I would say OS X is my favorite and most functional OS. It has everything I need, run\'s perfectly smooth on my G3 .

To each their own, but the "macs suck" opinion is highly un-educated, in my two cents.

macs suck

i work with the pieces of shit every day

again, macs suck and there\'s a reason why they have 2% of the market

What OS do you use on the macs you work on, mm?

9 and 10

10 actually causes more headaches

do you have any idea how many times a day i have to go up to the mac lab and remove a stuck zip disk or cd because apple thinks it\'s frickin cool not to put eject buttons on the g4\'s?


two words, system security

death to mac

OK, Now that I am hoe I can freaking watch the video and I have to say I laughed my ass off.  I have said the exact same things numerous times to our computer guy at work.  

I\'m not ANTI-Mac or anything.  THey just plain suck.  There is actually no sense in having them.  I can honestly say there is not a single thing I would rather do on my G4.

My Mac locks up on my 100Xs more often than my PC ever has.  Actually My PC rarely locks up.  Hell I had a virus and the thing still ran fast than the G4.  I just had a billion popups happening all the time.  Doh..

For the record, since OS X, Apple has more than your supposed 2% of the market. It is near the 5% range at this point.

As for you Video, I don\'t know what to tell you. I run OS X on a G3 with 256 megs of Ram and it doesn\'t crash. I put it through hell all the time and it keeps on goin\'.

OS 9 put me through hell when I went to Apple, instead of Windows and Linux. I finally made the change to OS X and haven\'t looked back. My next computer will most likely be an Apple, unless I decide to build one for PC games such as Half-Life 2 and Doom 3.

why should i pay twice the amount of money for a computer that is not even 50% versatile as the IBM-PC???

cause Photoshop loads up faster.


MACS suck, and honestly I don\'t see a bright future for Steve Jobs!

Would you whiners just shut up already.

NO ONE (no, not the guy) is forcing you to buy a Mac. But at least have a little respect for the guys who own Macs (and happily do so).

And mm, you never really replied to my previous statement, so allow me to be more direct this time - there\'s one reason why Apple doesn\'t have a bigger percentage of the market. And it\'s called Microsoft Windows. I\'m sure you remember Microsoft? You know, the company that brought shitty OS\' to the market for years and virtually created a monopoly. So when new and old users alike have to get a computer, they:

a) Want to buy what every other smuck has
b) Want to be able to play the newest Army Men game
c) Want to borrow and copy that k00l application the neighbor\'s got

BTW, do you know how many PC\'s I\'ve worked with that ran like crap? Tons. So you can take your "Macs suck and are unstable" and stick it where the sun doesn\'t shine.

Well said Sammy.  Just like you, I\'ve worked on tons of PC\'s that ran like crap and that\'s life.  But all because I\'ve worked on one crappy PC doesn\'t mean that there aren\'t a vast number of them that behave perfectly and the same goes for Macs.

What always gets me is that only on pro PC boards do I find people complaining about the stability and functionality of the mac, but when I go to a store that sells both PC\'s and Mac hardware, guess which one is ALWAYS running properly... The Mac with OSX.  I\'m sorry, but if PC\'s are so wonderful and are so much better, then how come they can\'t run the length of a day standing the tests of the many consumers who walk in to toy with them?  And don\'t give me any excuse about how "no one touches the mac so it couldn\'t possibly crash" because there\'s always people standing around it watching others mess with the dual cinema displays and manipulate several different apps at the same time flawlessly.  

I just don\'t see where this hatred stems from.  Is it because they\'re too expensive?  Is it because they try to innovate?  Is it because they don\'t get the latest games?  Is it because you can\'t pirate software onto the system easily thus falling back to the other excuse of money?  I\'ve never seen the stability issues anyone here speaks of so maybe I\'m just missing something.

Oh, and Vid, the file was coded in WMV which is a Windows media format designed to run on x76 hardware which is why it runs slowly on Mac computers despite being compatible.  The same goes for just about any Quicktime encoded video (Far superior quality and compression) when it\'s played on a PC because on a PC, quicktime eats up tons of resources for its bigger files while Mac\'s play them like PC users open notepad.  Don\'t know if you knew that or not.

omg, 5% now!!!!

i bet the stockholders are loving it

again, macs suck and are unstable, and offer little security

only a pure mac user would argue otherwise

oh, and i want an eject button

oh, and where\'s the file security

and damnit, it\'s 2003, make a 2nd button on the mouse
:rpissed:

I would love to go to OSX and I have heard much better things about it.

BUT, unlike XP, they didn\'t make OSX backwards compatible worth shit.

So I have thousands of dollars worth of software that we need to be swapped out.  And that my friend is a pile of crap.

I agree with the mouse.  Every new computer we add we have to go to the computer store and buy a new mouse because their little "Stylish" mice blow nuts.  Why should I have to hold down the control key every time I want to click a mouse button.


And another thing.  Drives me crazy that I can\'s open the menu bars with alt-commands like in windwos.

If I want to crop a picture I hit Alt-I, P.  Done picture cropped.  On the Mac for some reason they don\'t allow you to use letters to access the different menu items.  You have to scroll the mouse to it and drop the menu down.
