Comments on: Apple releases two new “Get a Mac” Ads http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2008/04/03/apple-releases-two-new-get-a-mac-ads/ tech, science, news and social issues for geeks Fri, 21 Nov 2008 23:24:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Sampi http://www.geeksaresexy.net/2008/04/03/apple-releases-two-new-get-a-mac-ads/#comment-55654 Sampi Thu, 03 Apr 2008 23:13:30 +0000 http://www.geeksaresexy.net/?p=2282#comment-55654 As always, these Mac ads are hilarious but I totally agree with Kiltak, some of these arguments are exaggerated. PC hardware and software might not work as well together but that also gives it flexibility; you can always replace any broken component. Also, PC components are a lot cheaper. Of course Vista has its flaws but XP is getting another SP soon and by the time XP becomes useless, Vista will have worked on those flaws. In any case, if you feel like your OS is giving you a headache, just install a Linux Distro ^^ As always, these Mac ads are hilarious but I totally agree with Kiltak, some of these arguments are exaggerated.

As a recent switcher, I've found myself far more productive under Mac OS. Granted, there's still some Microsoft software on here. Microsoft Office:Mac 2008 is a dream come true for me, with its version of Word allowing me total control over my documentation with its layout view. Beyond that, I'm more productive overall because I spend more time using my applications instead of "using" the OS. While a Mac vs Windows debate is inevitable after such a post, it's really not about the OS. Operating systems should be forgettable. What matters is if the user can do what they want to do. Windows just got in my way too many times. Mac OS gives me a solid platform to run all the applications I need. I’m not seeing any half-truths there.

Cuz at the time, I had my Dell laptop open, running Vista just fine. Yeah, it was a little weird when one of the new commercials comes on saying that Vista doesn’t work.
