What aspect of PCs did you find didn't work?

Please hate Mac's if you wish. There's plenty to hate about Macs as well as Windows. There's plenty of hate for everyone to share. And let's hate Linux while we are at it.

Try reading appleinsider.com's review of Windows 7. Perhaps Apple is more standards than you think, and perhaps the OS is better too. I don't know because I'm not you, but there's plenty of hate for everything.

Heh. I do realise I am being somewhat irrational. There are worse things to have an irrational hatred of though, I guess. It feels good, oddly attractive, to lay verbal waste to stuff.

On Windows 7, I've seen demos of it but I remain unconvinced. So far it looks just like Vista, but optimised for touch-screens and stealing all the UI ideas from the iphone.

Windows 7 appears to be a service pack update of Vista with a new look and name to distance it from the bad reactions to Vista. Read up on appleinsider, there's some thought provoking comments on it. I have both macs and pc's because I would rather install updates than have a life.

Please keep up the irrationality though, I didn't mean to squash creativity with a superior-than-thou post (which mine seems to be on second read)

Not at all, good sir. You should see what some other Mac users have to say.. They practically create the hatred all on their own from their overenthusiastic holier-than-thou approach. I think Maddox summarised the situation quite well.. [NOT safe for work]

Also on the updates thing, I currently look after around 30 different computers in total as part of my job, so updates are a big part of my life.. :P

there is an aspect that is wrong in all these kind of argument... mac is a piece of hardware, pc is a piece of hardware, MS is software. So if we want to make comparison we should compare osx to windows and about this comparison I can only tell you that the latest osx version runs on old machines without problems, no crash, no rebootings, no kernel panic of any sort. Why? just cos osx is made for the harware apple produce. Windows is builded to work on any pc and obviously it simply fails like osx would fail if it was built for any pc.
what about hardware? well maybe mac are overpriced but you just don't pay for hardware but for software and its integration too. I don't bother the kind of advertisement made by apple, I just want something that works well and I couldn't find a single pc with windows that can browse internet without any risks and gives me the possibility to record without crashing problems. Something more... I like motu and digital performer... so I can't simply use a pc. If I'd have to use autocad I'll be a pc guy... simply I chose what I need more and what is perfect for my needs.

Did you know, when you go from A to Z, Mac's 'M' comes before PC's 'P'....and Apple's 'A' comes before Microsoft's 'M'. Who woulda thunk?
