Wall Street Journal: Mac vs. PC

cpk0 writes "Walt Mossberg is taking a few days to discuss the differences between Mac and PCs, and which is suitable for whom. He begins by saying the tides have definitely turned in regards to Apple's state as a computer which he will recommend. This is the first in a miniature series of articles by Mossberg touching base on the Apple vs. PC situation (but don't worry, it's not at all about bashing one side)."

  1. Macintosh? Yeah, right!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You are a typical Mac communist. I highly doubt you were even there when MS and other companies only had DOS 6.2, with Windows 3.1x. I have been using Windows for 12 years, and I will not give up on it. My DOS skills are just as sharp today as they were 10 years ago. What was MAC doing then? It's OS was a GUI wrapped around the kernal. With Windows 3.1x, you could display in 256 colors. What was the video display of the Mac? 2 colors (B&W)!!. Mac was way behind the times then, and the only reason that the UI has improved is because they ripped it off from MS. The desktop was laughable at best also. and it has not improved much since 1987. You say Windows stole from apple, Well Apple stole from Geos and Xerox. APPLE SUX
