Head to head comparison of Mac v. PC (Vista) by Popular Mechanics... PING!

Shhhhhh, don't tell anyone but.... Mac wins.

Thanks to Spktyr for the heads up...

Mac Wins Ping!

I’m sitting here fuming this AM. Well, every day at some point.
Why?
My virus scan program caught me at a most inopportune time again.
I’m typing away ( I look at the keyboard while typing, I know ) and the virus program has the box all tied up.

Stop typng, nothing appeared on the screen anyway. Wait to download the latest patch, scan the box, blah, blah, blah.

I HATE IT.!!!!

Should be using my Mac Book Pro.

While Popular Mechanics is not really the last word in computer technical publications, this is an interesting comparison. It should come as no surprise to a more than casual user that a unix based OS would outperform almost any Windoze system. Even the now-bloated RedHat Linux is sleek compared to Vista.

We use *nix almost exclusively in our office with only two machines with W2K on them. One is a ‘honey pot’ and the other is a firewall. The real work is done on *nix systems, mostly Suse.

Too bad they didn’t include a comparison with an XP machine too. I’d bet the XP comp would blow Vista out of the water.

Thanks for the post. That price comparion has me thinking now- I may finally switch to a Mac with that in mind.

Another comparison that drains my resolve.

Time for a new system for daughter who is in school to be an architect specializing in interior design.

Is there a version of AutoCAD for OS X?

Is there a version of Photoshop for the Ma ... umm, never mind, I think I know the answer to this one.

Will she even need an Office type program?

Will it run Folding@home, so her Dad will have hope when he is even older and grayer?

This could be interesting.

I saw that the other night... hmm... I think I bought that issue... PM didn’t punch it up much on the cover.
