Study Concludes Macintosh Users More Likely to be Snobs

[tiys]

why can't the mac people just realize that just because they have a Mac, they're not higher up in class than us PC users. They just make themselves look like fools. "ZOMG! MY MAC PWNS UR PC!"

Apple notebooks are among some of the best notebooks in the business, wether you like to admit it or not (along with IBM, Sony, and Toshiba). Apple is really setting big bars for notebooks that many companies are trying to follow right now. They also have very top notch Desktop computers. They may be pricey, but they are actually good products. I'm not saying I consider my laptop to be better than my Windows PC just because it has a Apple logo on it, but I do consider my Laptop to be a very top notch laptop (certainly not the best).

For any of you guys that deny the above ^, you're just lying to yourselves.

Ravenas- If I had a macbook or whatever there called (since I can't OC them) I'd just throw windows on it. aren't the macbook air's like uber-thin and elegant?

Pancho- Unless some of these people [not saying tpu people are] stop thinking they're superior, then the bashing will continue.

[edit]
sorry to say, but this is a war that will nor win or lose. It'll just end up being closed by a mod..

My Macbook has a 50/50 partition of Mac 10.5.2 x64 and Windows Vista Ultimate x64 (don't spread that, I'm just an OEM guy and can only have 1 copy installed on one comp!). Besides, you can't really OC any prebuilts, which is precisely why the only prebuilt computer I will buy is a notebook!

EDIT: I can't build a laptop for the life of me.

Ah...

I always thought that MS only made a XP version that ran on macs, but I guess I'm wrong!

there desktops are a bit better than alot of the prebuilt pc systems (dell) out there just about everything under 1000, but if your willing to spend that much i can find a better pc for less than a mac,each have their advantages there laptops are nice, but not for the price, they charge a RIDICULOUS amount of money to upgrade the ram and what not right off the bat, my asus can beat almost any macbook out there for less $ wise

 

[tiys]

I have to say this...the Macbooks are pretty nice looking !!
[After XP or Vista was thrown on it]

Ehh...I like ASUS, don't get me wrong, but their hardware and features just aren't beefy enough for me (that's just generalizing a few models). Dell has an opinion that people like to carry around 15 pound laptops...Don't get me started on Dell, they are utter crap.

The only other laptop I would have bought would have been a IBM thinkpad! I just liked the MacBook better at the time.

i would take a mac over a dell, at least with a mac someone will buy it if i try to sell it, those thinkpads are nice

The thing people need to realize is that Mac and Windows are the same! The only reason Windows is the way it is is due to the fact that Bill Gates sold his operating system to Apple, and therefore couldn't copy the same things he made for Apple. If he could have, he would have and you would all be used to the way Mac is.

Everything in Windows is just a go around of Mac.

there we go watch it to the end it has a nice message

 

[tiys]

I wuv my Windows...and if I was grown up around a mac, I'd probably be like I wuv my mac OS

[Opinion]I am actully kind of glad Gates couldn't copy Apple. It just made more room for competition. Also, IMO, Windows looks a lot better...[/Opinion]

i happy with xp its stable fast and over all great and with kaspersky it cant be beat

Hehe, well one of the biggest downfalls of Windows is registry.

One of Macs biggest downfalls is very simplistic ways of doing things (which is in my opinion a downfall, but to others not so much). It takes a life long Windows user some time to realize that they actually just "uninstalled" something on a Mac!

Still though between the two, Mac OS 10.4 and Windows XP are still the most stable. That's why my PC servers a running copies of Windows XP Pro.

XP Servers ftw!!

Even though Windows has gotten this image of business, it's not because it is necessarily better at business! Windows has grown love with businesses only because Windows can be distributed to ANY computer! Mac have yet to be spread legally anywhere but an Apple. This is the precise reason you find Windows primarily used in business, not because they are superior in anyway.

Apple has work suites that are very on par with MS Office products. One area that Mac has gotten MS beat is server software, but not by much at all.

But when you are running a server... you really think the pinwheel of gay fun is better than the error message?

XP Servers ftw!!

When you goto applications in Mac, if you right click on a icon, and then select send to trash (trash is the same thing as a recycle bin) you literally just uninstalled that program as soon as you empty your trash. On Windows, you goto the control panel, and then goto add/remove programs, and then select the program you wish to unistall.

Now it should become clear to you why everything in Windows is a go around, primarily because of registry.

EDIT: You can also see how this can be hard for a life long Windows user to understand.

When you are running a server on Macs, you don't normally get pinwheels, you get error messages. I don't prefer running servers on Macs because I found that I don't have computer capable of doing it that can run Mac lol! I certainly won't run a Mac server on my notebook! I would really like to try Red Hat linux one day though, I've always wanted to.
