People create viruses to target the most people - Windows. With the introduction of Windows Vista, I wonder how things will change Macs vs Windows. We'll have to wait and see.
Are you saying that since vista is basically bloatware and MS forces us to upgrade, people will start using macs?

So you're paying $1200 dollars for a machine so you can browse the web?
That's called overpriced.
And for the "built in internet", Windows has that too..
So in the end, you're going to buy a $300 dollar console, and a $1300 dollar Mac so you can do what a $700 dollar PC can do. Makes a lot of sense.

It means they would rather pay the heafty price, for a machine that won't give them ANY shiz at all.
PCs always have problems: Their motherboards go out. Their hard-drives burn up. Their CPUs overheat. Their video cards are fried. Their RAM goes bad. Their ROM gets messed up.
Macs: None.
..But you're really over exagerating on this "shiz stuff. I am able to, along with MANY other PC users, surf the web, write word documents, play games, use messengers, and a bunch of other stuff. When's the last time I've had to replace hardware? Never.(Well, my brother spilled milk on my other computer -_-) I've had this computer since 2001, so that's about five quallity years.
I've never experienced any of this "shiz" that you're talking about, whether it's the crashing randomly, or the hardware breaking.
So you're paying around 500 dollars more so you can do less than a PC?
Wait, you don't use Mac, you use a PC, I believe.
Do less than a PC?
Wow. I can't play games. Woe is me.
I would rather have a Mac than a PC anyday

What you people fail to realize is that a part of the reason why there are almost no viruses for the Mac is because there aren't as many people using it as Windows.

I dont care why or how Macs dont get viruses, I just care that
they don't!
And Im not going to worry about this new Windows-Mac thing, because Im not going to use it. I really dont need to play games on my computer. It's not neccasary. I have a ps2 for that.
But I agree with everything else you said.

Take a Mac, and take a Windows machine, and put them side by side, and just let them run. I wonder which one will crash first.

If they just sit there? Neither will. Nothing will happen until they get either struck by a power outage or a smooth criminal.
But screw this all, as soon as I get a junk computer to screw with and constantly reboot I'm writing my own operating system. Then I'll build a steroided up version of an angry, angry computer and boot it onto it.

So where would these "GREAT GRAPHICS" come in use if you don't make graphics..
I'd like to have a Mac too, as a secondary computer, but the PC satisfies my needs 100x better, because it has a bunch of games on it.

The new split OS means all the access to windows programs & games on Macs.Macs can just buy vpc as I said or get darwine once it comes out.
SeN uses a mac for its server you can tell by the image file format.

Uh..ok so what would DO you do on your mac that youre paying 500 more bucks for. Youre obviously not a graphics artist...and you dont play games.

But the irony is that youre still using windows.

I'm not a graphics artist, yet i'm going to college for Digital Design and Animation. Okay, stupid doo doo head. And I don't play games? O rly? Just because I don't waste my life away at StarCraft, doesn't mean I don't play games, tard. Wow. You make to many fallacies to be considered smart.
Ah. But the irony is that Windows sucks to much testicles to be cross-platform compatible. Mac's are cool enough to do that.

Okay, but that makes Apple suck? Exactly
And stop flaming each other.
It's just another feature on the PC that the Mac lacks.
Another? What else does Windows have that Macs don't?
And have you failed to realize that Mac can read Windows coding now? Even without this, Macs are still better in everything that Windows has but games. Why am I repeating myself? This topic is too repetative.
Like compatabillity for every random program? They can run the Windows OS now, you're right.
For fark sakes Dorkhawk. Bill Gates STOLE Macintosh's software, and manipulated it!
WINDOWS IS BASED OFF OF MAC FOR GOD'S SAKE!
He probably did, but that doesn't make my PC less useful.
Look. Im going to end it now. Mac is better for graphic editing, businesses, powerful applications, safety, all that (beautiful) jazz. Windows is better for games and random odd applications that people make.
Hmmm, why are PCs better? Start naming things that come in PCs... let's see... the memory, processors, motherboards, customization... la la la, etc. etc... you know why there aren't but a few (and there are one or two critical flaws that have been found, believe it or not) viruses for Macs? Hackers realize that the group of 97% of computer users that don't use Macs is a much nicer target. Macs don't have viruses because of some mystical invulnerability. Their worthlessness is their best defense.
Holy christ!! For the eighth time, people. I DO NOT CARE why the hell Macs dont get viruses. The thing I care about is that THEY DONT!! And the only reason more people use Windows because people are stupid!! You cannot deny that. Look at "American Idol".
Second, memory? Processors? These are things that dont matter for computers. Memory ads on, durrr. Look,
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebO...7&nclm=PowerMacThats not kickass?
Second, if you want a black computer? fine, customize it. I don't care what mine looks like, it still kicks ass.
I'm sure I could make a PC better than that with 3,000$.
-_-
Jesus. It's like talking to a brickwall.
Indeed. Windows-lovers are quite thick.
They both are good in their own wee way. Im not going to say how, because I already have about 10 times. Just shut up, it's OVER!!
