Meh..I've used mac and pc, not extensively on the mac but enough to know what I like. The way I see it, yes, the mac is a little bit more user friendly and more intuitive. Not to mention they are sexy. But now let me tell you what I dont like about them: The Price$$$ tag..thats the biggest turn off for me. The next biggest gripe that I have about the macs is the hardware, you can only buy there hardware (major hardware, not a pci card) and they have to have the biggest retail markup out of any oem supplier. The next thing I didnt like is that they wouldnt let windows run on their system natively, which now, may be a thing of the past. A few more gripes I have about the mac community instead of the mac itself. Some (the majority) of the mac community thinks that steve jobs was sent from god and everything he touches/creates/imagines is holy. No.. And they think that there hardware is supperior to all else. To these people I would like to say that Just because you paid $11,000 for your graphics workstation, that does not make it better than my $1,200 system.

Ok, now lets go over to the pc world. I can't go gripping at all the companies, so I'll just focus on a few of the big names. Microsoft first. Okay, yeh, Their os is installed on whatm 70% of the computers in the world? Just becuse they hold the majority of the market share, I hate that they think that they can release I half way done os. I mean, How long have we been on the nt architecture, regardless of the fact that it works. It's time to move on.

Ok, now for intel, yeh, they put out decent processors, but they are usually overpriced compared to the comparable amd model, not to mention they ARE space heaters. but I think that intel has finally realized that they cant just keep pushing the clock higher.

And now for amd. my baby, I am a little partial to them, but lately I've been a little with them, they used to be the underdogs with the better processors not to mention they were cheaper. Now they have better processors and may still be the underdog compared to intel, but forget about being cheapers!! There prices have gone through the roof. but oh well.

These are my main gripes, not a whole lot with the pc world, mainly because it's more "open" which I am a fan of. I can switch out hardware, customize it, and run almost any os I want (except for osX, *ahem*) on my pc and if steve job would quit using his os to force people to buy his computers, then the world would be better off, a little bit. because, lets face it, If you could put osX on your dc Opteron system prime, would you ditch the apple hardware?
