PC Users Switch to Apple

Posted by pudge on from the my-name-is-pudge-and-i-am-a-slashdot-editor dept.

JHromadka writes "Apple has setup a special website with real users explaining why they switched from the PC to the Mac. There's a full compliment of commercials, Mac OS X reviews, the works. Now we know why they didn't renew that agreement with Microsoft. :)" I like the commercials, they're funny, though probably not so much intentionally. Apparently the commercials begin airing this week.

    Same performance? I'm not sure where you're getting your info. Sure, Apple's chips run Altivec-optimized Photoshop routines quickly, but for things that actually matter to me like kernel compiles, mp3 encoding, or gaming, a P4 1.5 Ghz laptop is going to run 3 times as fast as your 500 Mhz G4. I'd really like to play around with OS X, but not if it's going to cost double that of a PC with less performance.

    The unreliability of a Googlecount (which I will glady confess to) does not change the fact that Apple is using a straight-ahead lie to market their products. I simply used it as an example of how easy it is to find testimony to the contrary.


    Microsoft has made all sorts of shady claims about the stability of Windows, but I don't think they've ever had the ba||s to proclaim "It Doesn't Crash".


    I should have started a stopwatch to see how long it would take a Slashdotter to find a way to work Microsoft into the conversation. :)
