Mac or PC

That is true, but check the iLife suite of Macintosh applications,
that can't run on windows, and I think that is one of the best programs that apple developed.

Garage band is nice, the rest windows has a Microsoft essentials which does the same thing. You use to be able to say that it was crap back in the XP and early Vista years but there has been much improvement towards the end of Vista and Windows 7. For basic stuff like chat, basic video/photo management and editing is all the same, for more advance tools needed which I would say only 40% of computer users would use anyway is available from third party comapanies both OS use example being Adobe and protools or even some of Sony software which many mid user to advance use prefer anyway. From what I have read both OS run it just as smooth, some better then other's but the performance difference is almost unseen.

There is no real difference in the OS performance and available software, it is a question of preference. The only difference seen is Apple extremely high price for hardware which Apple claims to have higher mark up so they can invest into future hardware develpoement for the next release of there computers but PC manufactures release new hardware in there computers every six month and don't see them going bankrupt.

Personally have to agree that apple is a bit way pricey
for their products, and like you said before, windows has
definitely improved their OS with windows 7. I prefer windows over apple anyways, and I am currently developing on it like many others.
On the side note, the hardware part of apple? like say upgrades? I mean I have seen slow macs before. Take it to the apple store?
but that costs. They could do better. Am I right?
 
Well when you have a cult following then it is easy to jack up prices, if you guys want check out a movie called "mac heads", it is about the cult following and it is a little creepy, there is a church where the god is steve jobs.

....Really? That's kind of disturbing..might watch it, sounds interesting.
 
^ just saw a preview of it, I'm going to go watch it. Seems, interesting/creepy/notsure

Something to talk about at least :P
 
The new Microsoft OS, Windows 8,
I read that it will be a redesigned windows interface. More like touch oriented, like the windows of the phone 7, without the taskbar
and Start menu.


Technology is more and more is moving
toward tablet-like systems, and windows 8 is going to be a tile-based system.
I don't really like that changes myself, more because I haven't adapted to the tablet technology quite yet.







any thoughts?
