Leopard (Apple) – Simple, Elegant,Original, Powerful.

Vista (Microsoft)- Ugly, Complicated, copycat, Powerfull.

Which one you think would be the election of an intelligent people?

The problem: Apple Computers don’t get viruses because of OS X software. Installing Vista or Xp will enable your computer to get a virus.

Also, MAKE SURE YOU GET A COMPUTER WITH ENOUGH MEMORY! I recommend Xp over Vista!!!!!! Vista hogs up TONS of space, and there are many querks!! You are really looking at installing 2 different operating systems on 1 computer. But honestly, what is the program(s) you want to run? I’m sure there’s a Mac version that’s better. Not just a Mac lover talking here, they really do have better and newer apps.

Now for all you PC users:

First of all, this war began in the 80s & early 90s when the first user interface came out. Apple Computers Inc. came out with the first user interface, the first Operating System, (OS). But for Apple, people would still be be using MS-DOS!!!!! That’s right: Microsoft stole that entire idea. And here again today, Vista is a copycat of OS X!!!!! The sidebar on Vista was taken from Apple’s Dashboard concept. The icons that preview the contents of files are taken from Apple’s Quick Look, and the all new Finder. Some may argue that Vista came out first, so Apple’s Leopard copies Vista. NOT TRUE!!!! Apple had demos and previews out before Vista. Apple had information out first. Apple has been in development of Leopard WAY before Microsoft with Vista.

So, question: If PCs are sooo great, and they meet ALL of EVERYBODY’S needs, why do they need to create a copycat of another platform? And since they chose Apple’s OS X to copy, that must mean that people are demanding the features that Macs have. And If PCs are sooo great, and they meet ALL of EVERYBODY’S needs, why is software being created so that you can run Mac OS on a PC? hmmmmm….

Final thought for you PC users: SERIOUSLY NOW…..what can your PC do that my Mac can’t?

Result? My PC’s sat gathering dust. There was nothing I couldn’t do on a PC that I could do better with a Mac. Fact. Simple as.

My workflow increased using a Mac, so much so, increased profits paid for a Powermac G5 which increased profits to buy a Powermac G5 Quad, which increased profits and so I bought a maxed out Mac Pro and a new MacBook Pro 17″ Core 2 Duo.

I haven’t used a Windows based PC in all that time.

I was curious about Vista so went and tried out some Vista systems. Yuk. Nicer looking Windows I’ll admit, but there was nothing to tempt me to switch back, especially when all the branded systems are running the 32-bit version of Vista (why have 64-bit CPU’s in the system and run a 32-bit OS? Ahh yeah keeps costs down).

I found Vista to be slow and very power hungry. Mac OSX is faster, less power hungry and simply a joy to use.

Windows users buy a Mac and run Windows, it does run better than on a PC and at least from the outside at least, people will think you have more sense than you obviously do (running Windows on a Mac – yeesh) as you’re running a Mac, Mac users will buy Mac’s because they know better

If you windows users want to talk about windows having cool GUI effects in Vista, please check out Ubuntu on youtube. Its free and it runs on PC. Even Mac can’t beat Ubuntu when it comes to GUI effects.

Second of all, I have been a windows user for 17 years, and I have used Dell, HP, Compaq, and Gateway systems…and for all you dim witted gamers out there, I was also the once proud owner of an Alienware Area-51 system as well, so shut it before you start.

As an individual who knows both sides well at this point, i can clearly say that comparing a Windows PC to a Mac is like comparing a 5 speed bicycle (lol, windows) to a Mercedes SLR (Mac). Most windows users out there (95%) talk bad about Macs because of their past experiences with OS9 and previous…and never OSX. This is quite understantable, as being a current 15″ Macbook Pro user, i can say the same thing…the GUI in OS9 was just not the intuitive, nor attractive. But that was OS9, and its obvious that your basing this previous judgement on the latest OSX operating system as well as Macs in general. Dont deny this people (windows users), I’ve even asked several of my windows friends and they could only relate to the OS9, and once they see me using Tiger, their jaw literally drops dead, and then the question pops out…”damn, is that really a Mac?” I know for a fact many of you windows users can relate to this. Secondly, for the windows genius (not) in one of the previous posts who said to try putting a 7950GTX on a Mac..IDIOT, you can order a Mac Pro with a Radeon X1900XT 512MB (for extreme gaming) or an NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 512MB (for extreme working. So do some research next time before you are proven wrong. Who the hell said the modern Macs cant play games? My Intel Core Duo (2.16GHz) MacBook Pro with 2GB DDR2 ram and a Radeon X1600 can blaze through FarCry, Call of Duty 2, Doom 3, and Need for Speed Most wanted like cutting butter with a knife.

Moreover, try opening up 20 programs at once in windows and ill guarantee that 19/20 times your PC will freeze or say ” Your virtual memory is low..windows is increasing your page file size”, yea i know you windows users know what im talking about…or how about that “so and so is currently not responding and needs to close down..we are (microsoft) sorry for the inconvinence. and right after that the screen comes up that says to report the error to microsoft..whom by the way dont even know who you are nor give the slightest crap of your PC’s condition. You cannot say im talking BS here, because i was once like you guys and gals, and i made that heavenly switch to a Mac, wherby life seems so much easier now. Believe it or not…having been a Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 user…i can clearly say that the OSX Tiger operating system ahead of windows by years on end, and that Tiger is definately on par with Vista already, Let alone Leopard.

Next, lets talk about style..this is a no brainer, and one that especially makes my Bicycle (windows) Vs Mercedes SLR (mac) ever so true. Its simple, and all you windows users out there (100% of you) know that Macs turn heads no matter where or what angle they are in. Their design from the entire package down to the operating system is extremely stylish, slick, but remarkably simple, yet highly advanced. and then comes PC’s..some of whom are extremely bulky (my Alienware experience)and a downright ugly operating system GUI. Yes i know that this can be changed..but its the fact that Microsoft had not implemented a nice OS (without copying Apple like they did in Vista) in the first place to begin with.

Finally, and this is the best part…Us Mac users can run both OSX as well AS Windows, so we can have the best of both worlds (as if windows actually has anything to offer that OSX dosent, which is unlikely) at full speeds; But windows users cannot do the same without going through a complicated hack process, and even still your hardware is not fully supported by your OS, so your at a constant alert of a system crash!

And there you have it..All windows users know that the OSX Tiger and Leopard (and even the previous OSX’s) are beautiful and powerful..but like they say, the first stage is denial, and after Apple proves Microsoft wrong (which they increasingly are btw)you’ll know which is better and which is crap (hint hint ;)

I’d like to go back to Tom’s comments, because my macbook pro broke recently, it was the hook. They asked me what happened to it, and fixed it within a week. But I would like to make a note, Macs’ software is very reliable, but the hardware is OK. PCs, although software is not as reliable, can have better hardware because you can create your own PC. But you do have to buy your own parts if you are to do that.

I will support mac, but I won’t diss PC, because I was also a long time PC user. Macs are very reliable, smooth in performance, and that is why I would stick with mac.
