When ever I read WIN vs. Mac arguments, it is always the same. It always appears the PC users argue from the "only standpoint". M$ is the only company that should exist in the computer world. Anything other than M$ is not worthy, unproductive, basically kids play. Really sad. Yet, PC people argue claiming to have the best thing in the world. Then why argue with us low-end, MAC people. Use your WIN boxes and be happy. Realistically, they argue out of knowledge that their boxes are cheap, poorly designed, and spend thousands of dollars to claim the top.
All these years, it is believed that anyone not using WIN with Office, can't possible be productive, and those labors are a waste of time. Year after year millions of people are productive on MACs, get important things done.
I ask. when does the argument end? If you prefer WIN, then use it and stop projecting it's inadequacies on MAC users. Mac OSX nor WIN XP are perfect, nor will they ever be. Facts are facts and preferences are opinions.
Everyone knows that M$ has copied Apple, not rocket science, my 11 old nephew figured that out. Just use what you use, and end it. I prefer MAC, to me it is a robust OS, mature, and reliable. This does not mean I hate WIN XP, i just prefer not to use it. It is like holding the big crayon in kindergarten, made for people with limited computer skills, prompting for reassurance, adding steps to simple computer actions. I am an advanced user who enjoys the maturity nature of MAC OSX. WIN XP or Longhorn will never match that of MAC, simply because it is not UNIX. That is the problem with WIN, its technology outgrows the computer user needs, hence all the recent versions of WIN.
In short, be happy with what you use. Both get the job done. If you have limited computer skills and a small budget, fine, get a Dell for 699. For advanced users, who will quickly outgrow WIN XP, you better off with a MAC. Just my opinion. In the end, it is yours as well. Stop the WIN vs MAC argument.
How productive is the amount of down time we spend on WIN$? People prefer WIN XP over Mac is not because of stability and reliability, because the boxes are cheap. Our company spent hundreds of hours of unproductive time, fixing, maintaining, and applying WIN updates. In the real world, where one is responsible for $$$ not gaming, WIN$ boxes are not as popular as you think about executives. Please it is not about speed, or games, or interface favorites.
