I am in no way a Windows lover, but as a home computer, Windows outperforms Mac tenfold. But yeah, Macs have their uses.
I'd love a Mac as a secondary computer, but for a primary home computer, it has WAY too many restrictions to it to make up for it's large price.
The end.

Where else do you play games and use random applications?
Not in an office, not at school, but at home. If you want a computer to surf webs, and talk to friends, get a 200 dollars POS computer, not a 1300 dollar Mac.
And what's Ffs mean?

How can you even say that? You are being just as thick as everybody in the thread. But performance-wise, I think that both of the computers match up pretty evenly. It's just that most people use Windows because most people already have it and most programs are designed for it. It's mainly a matter of preference. But how is Macs better business and powerful applications?

Its better to have Macs in businesses because you wont get a virus and get all of your precious files lost. Their applications are more advanced. (Though windows are more numerous.)
Deathawk, stop comparing prices of a top-of-the-line Mac and a dumpy, cheap Windows. My Mac was 800 dollars, with some very expensive applications for free including Sound Studio 2. (80 bucks?! Free!!)
Give me a break. And urmom calls me thick when i say that each is great in a different way. That's beautiful, really.

I can get a top of the line PC for ~750 dollars.
I can get a PC that can basically do anything a Mac does for around 350 dollars.
But whatever, use Macs for work.

This should be closed, because it's a repetative circle of repeated ignorance/arrogence.
Each side has their advantages, and dissadvantages, so quit your obsessive biznatching about which is better. Comming from a PC and Windows user (Me), I would go with a Mac if I could.
Now just shut up about it! You're arguing over absolutely nothing, and it's getting stupid, and old.

In conclusion, the only advantage Mac has is that it minimally has better graphics, and there are less viruses made for Mac than windows.

After spending a lot of time and waiting for almost a motnh for a solution on my Powerbook problem Apple decided to ship me another laptop. After a week reinstalling and configuring it back to where it was it started to freeze and crash all the time. I've spent a total of 8 hours of my time with the "geniuses". And all they could come up with was to resintall Mac OS.
Did this fix the problem? Nope.
Right now my 1997 Pentium 3 Intel is way more useful that the sleek Powerbook G4.
