Exactly. It's taking like 50 PC companies to try and take down Apple and they STILL cant do it. Look up an alienware that is the EXACT same specs as Mac. It is more expensive. And also, with PC you need to buy antivirus every year. That adds up after a couple of years

Okay, one year after this comment I cannot let this one go. You, sir, are the stereotypical blind Apple fanboy, and here is why (just a quote):

"(I think that is the command – haven't been on pc's now in over 10 years so I don't really remember – no need for that kind of thing on the stable platform known as OSX)"

1) You judge a platform you haven't used since Windows '98 and/or ME? Really? Okay, so shall we discuss the greatness of Windows 7 over Mac OS9 then, shall we?

2) Mac is a stable platform, just because *you* have had little or no crashes with your machines, huh? So, do the words "Kernel Panic" mean anything to you? Or faulty hardware causing both Windows and Mac to crash? And do you really not know the many bugs that caused Snow Leopard to crash so often that even Mac lovers complained over and over?
My stepfather, my brother and my sister use a Mac and all three of them have had at least a couple of crashes in the past year. Some were caused by faulty software, some by a faulty user, and some by the OS. Just like Windows. The fact that Windows is more open (10.000 times more available software is a 10.000 times bigger chance of buggy, underdeveloped software) doesn't mean the OS itself is more prone to crash. Because let's face it, It just isn't 1999 anymore, now is it? Open your eyes and stop being judgemental on everybody not using a Mac. Nothing is perfect, and Apple sure as hell isn't either.

PC is not a brand…and neither is Mac.

I've used a Mac since 1994. I'm thinking this is my last one. I'm tired of being limited in virtually every way by Apple. I had to painfully burn all my music to CD and rerip it to MP3 when I naively started buying music from iTunes so I could play music on other devices. If you 'jailbreak' any Apple device, they undo it next update out of the kindness of their heart with more marketing tracking features to more efficiently try to sell you sh*t you don't want. Apple's become the evil corporate toolbox Steve Jobs always intended but could not attain previously. Over the years each computer I have had (on my 5th) has gotten progressively worse and more limited. My latest (Intel Core2 2.0G iMac) is the slowest and buggiest to date, and I have the latest Snow Leopard installed. I only want a computer to work from home occasionally, browse the web, and edit photography. The only work software that is compatible is Office, the Mac blows at speedy web surfing (always has), and for more money I can buy the same software I could buy for Windows cheaper to edit photos or use the terrible iLife suite to do mediocre everything. My Dell at work is a better performing machine, doesn't crash, isn't slow, and finally has made me start wondering why I am drawn like a sheep back to the same 'F.U.' customer experience every time I need computer hardware. F.U., Apple. I'm tired of being jerked around and being told I'm intelligent by a genius (because they have a T-shirt) because I bought an idiot-proof lousy computer system for 1.5x the cost of THE SAME F*CKING HARDWARE!

What I find most interesting about all of these comments is that not one of them mentions anything about the greater stability of the Mac OSX platform. Okay so you can't maximize the window, but I would prefer my Mac and the windows that it has over the ability to maximizing a window that crashes all of the time.

Did this top 5 actually say that productivity goes down on a mac over a PC?! Really?! How about all the time you have to ctrl alt del (I think that is the command – haven't been on pc's now in over 10 years so I don't really remember – no need for that kind of thing on the stable platform known as OSX)? You mean all of that time spent rebooting and recreating files after crashes and freezes don't reduce productivity? The mere fact that some PC toting goof is espousing this lame and ill conceived argument as the basis for picking a PC over a Mac only bolsters my lack of confidence in PCs and the opinions of those who use them.

And one other thing. . . I have run my whole practice on Macs since we opened in 1999 so I don't want to hear this lame argument that you can't run an efficient and effective office environment on Macs. That argument clearly came from someone who hasn't run their office entirely on Macs.

We all Know why pc is more popular than a mac is because it is cheaper and crap. Even pc said it themselves, P.C. stands for Piece of Crap, and all that junk about a pc preparing you for the cruel and harsh world. Most likely in the future something much better will come out, even better than the mac!!!(but probably made by mac.) Anyways this new awesome thing will be pretty expensive, so therefore the mac becomes cheap and more and more people will buy it, then mac will be popular and pc will just sink away if they don’t catch up! So basically any job that has to do with computers they’ll buy mac, because its cheap, useful and the next best thing.
