Nice post, Wilkin.

Linux is better than both, anyway.
I run Linspire 4.5, and I'll probably be switching to the latest version of Ubuntu soon. You can get viruses and spyware on both Mac and Windows, but Linux is virtually virusless and spywareless.

That and the fact it's completely free.

Linux also has xgl,
but Linux is far more complicated to configure than windows, and mac is always ready to go.
I too like the Linux OS by itself, but it is terrible to get wma and wmv stuff working and the configuration is a bitch for video cards.

xD Nice analogy.

But say, what if your dildo is a HUMAN??? Everyone knows a human dildo provides better stimulation than a fake plastic one.

And that may lead us all to believe that a robot is better than a PC or a MAC! RISE OF THE ROBOTS! WOOHOO!

~*~

I use a Mac myself, and I prefer it over my old PC because I'm useless when it comes to fighting viruses, and there appears to be almost no viruses that affect a Mac. I've had it for a year and guess what? I haven't even seen a single virus!

~*~

Concerning the Mac mouse: I use an external laptop mouse instead. I found my hate for the Mac mouse the moment I placed my fingers on it.

Did you guys even read the original post or just see "mac vs. windows" in the title and decide to come in here spewing your crap?

ps for those of you who are so totally against mac: bootcamp.
We're nerds. Without debates and video games, we'd masturbate all day.

I have had my computer now for about 2 years and have yet to see a virus. I just don't download a ton of random stuff and search for "free" porn.

I have Windows MCE and would die without the MCE part of it

suck it

I own a mac laptop and I would prefer to have a Windows based laptop if I had the choice. If I didn't play MapleStory, I probably wouldn't care about using a Mac system (talking desktop here), assuming the keyboard and mouse don't suck total ass like all of the old mac keyboards and mouses I've ever used. People keep saying that Apple makes mouses with enough buttons these days, and as long as the keys are the right size/position/feel it would be all gravy.

OSX is Linux based.

Do you even realize the things you say before you say them? Linux is probably even more open to viruses than Windows due to the fact that Windows always has updates and ****. The thing is that most programmers won't waste their time on a Linux virus because of how few people the virus would be able to affect. The same used to be able to be said about Mac, but I hear they get viruses sometimes now (or maybe that's just propaganda so that people will buy antivirus programs for Macs).

Similar thing happened with Firefox, too. Back before it was as popular, it used to block every popup and thing like that. Now, certain websites have methods of getting around FF's popup blocker, simply because FF is more commonly used now.

Debating is totally legit. Saying over and over "mac sucks no games rawr" and "windows viruses only good for spreadsheets or something lol" is just stupid. Debate the merit of each system; do not simply state that the other one is worthless, because obviously each system has it's own good points.

ps I think someone mentioned that their perfect OS would be halfway between Windows and OSX. Check out Vista. That's about as close as you'll get, I'd say.

My best OS would definitely be Mac-based, but supports computer games, and has MS Paint.

YES, MS PAINT. For once you've used Photoshop enough the way I do, you will want to try CGing something in Paint.

Plus, isometric pixel art is easier in Paint.

Partly true and partly false.

Indeed, the main reason Linux has no viruses is probably because nobody cares to make any. BUT, most versions of Linux are updated constantly. Every day my little exclamation mark goes off.

I think that even if people bothered to make viruses for Linux, it would still fare better than Windows.

Default Re: Why PC vs. Mac debates shouldn't exist

I use a mac at home, and a PC at school. There are things on both of them that i prefer/hate. On the mac, i hate that 1 button mouse that comes standard with the computer, (the keyboard is fine for me however, i just got a new Intel mac), problem solved by buying a logitech mouse. I also do not like the lack of a printscreen button, and the lack of UnrealEd on the Mac Version of UT2004. Other than that, my Mac fits my needs very well, Gaming and Artistic (Photoshop, Maya, 3D Studio Max, etc...). The PC also fits my school needs very well. It runs all of the Programs above, except the games, because its a school computer, but i can take the word of everyone else. PCs have a wider selection of games than the mac, they have a better command prompt, (i know windows code better than Unix XD). But, there are some things i do not like as well. Such as on the school computers, the system administrators locked everything up, so i can't access the uninstall feature. So when other people put loads of crap on the computer, i can't uninstall it without downloading something, because it puts files all over the place. Whereas in a mac, it puts it all into one place mostly, so you just have to delete one folder/application.

I have a preference for macs, but i really don't care which system i use.

I have a Desktop PC and a MacBook Pro Laptop. I prefer both because like most people say who have used both, they each have their merits.

I use my PC mainly for gaming and video editing, while on the other hand I use my Mac for music editing and school.

I know I'm being redundant by bringing up the same thing over, but each side has its great points and weak points.

Well that's not Linux specifically, that's whatever team is behind the particular build that you're using.

I guess I was partly wrong, but just because your build that you use is good about updating holes in security doesn't mean that all of them are.

There's nothing wrong with Macs except that 80% of the non-professional userbase couldn't operate a pulley without an instruction manual.

I think she's using the pulley as an expression because a pulley is a self-explanatory machine to operate.

Linspire has MPlayer for Windows media files, and I have an older standard video card, and it works fine.
Ubuntu's good too, but then again, you do have the problem with configuring the media player.
