Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone but.... Mac wins.
Thanks to Spktyr for the heads up...
If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.
As a support person for both systems and some other things, my only beef with the Macs is the users. They really don’t know how to *do* anything when it is not as expected. They don’t know how to troubleshoot and just throw their hands up. I had one tell me it was just a tool. Fine, but don’t pretend it is a crisis when you don’t even try.
/rant off. Whew I feel better.
You could buy Vista for your iMac and STILL SAVE $100 !!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !
Or you could keep yer head in the sand and tell yerself PCs are better and Macsa re too expensive !
So the MS machines had slower processors and somehow the Macs outperformed them. What a surprise!
I sit here typing this on my Quad PC running Vista with 2GB of RAM watching TV on my USB tuner with my email running and AVG scanning the PC without one single bump.
Am I the only one who sees a close similarity between vocal Mac users and Obama supporters?
They act as if they are God’s gift to humanity.
They routinely speak as if they are all knowing, but usually never say much of substance other than how great it is that they support what they support.
They look at anyone that is not the same as rubes “clinging” to backwards ideologies.
When you poke holes in there land of make-believe they accuse you of being a bigot.
They put logo stickers in the back of their car windows, so they can find each other and gush over how cool it is that they are who they are.
They think they are the change that they’ve been waiting for.
Every comparative test I see like this is centered around a user that surfs the web, downloads music, video and chats with friends. It's funny, when I think of a Mac user, I think of someone that uses their machine (I suppose Mac users don't call their personal interface device a machine) as an entertainment outlet, more like a TV. It's probably a stereotype, but it is my perception.
An occasional tech post is interesting but:::::
Have you posted anything not Apple related???
Have you even responded to anything not Apple related????
It took me about 3 minutes in front of an iMac for me to
ditch Windows forever. I think if most people would use
one for a few minutes, they would follow suit.
This has been one of the more entertaining/informative threads on computers on FR in a long time. Please do not let it die. It is wonderful being able to hear from the Mac Users without having the PC users bash them.
Oh goodie, another Mac vs. PC flame war. I think most people have long since made this decision.
Run the test on actually comparable machines with the same RAM and processors. It is not difficult if you have the money.
There’s the problem. They should have done a comparison between Mac and XP. Vista SUCKS.
