Vista is a reworked XP, which was long due. Is is great, nope its not even 1st gen Apple X. 7 might be better, but it is just incremental.

 

Windows boot slower, Macs closes out slower. But still much faster than Windoze boots.

I can simply close the lid on my Powerbook and Mac goes to sleep. My PC has to be told to go to sleep. (hibernate)

I can run Windoze on my Mac. I can't do anything Mac on my Windoze.

On my Mac I can open, play with, save and send files back to my PC for it to use.

I can open more websites and their attachments with my Mac than with my PC.

I don't let my PC talk to the outside world while I surf everywhere with my Mac. That's the only way to prevent viruses on my PC.

I spend 50 times (ok, maybe that's an exageration, but not much of one) the amount of time simply maintaining my PC than I do my Mac.

 

I hate people that use Mac. I use a PC and my computer is just as fast as the day I bought it, has NEVER had a virus, nor does it ever crash. Just because you are too ignorant to use a PC does not mean you need to put it down.

 

I'm not a pc guy either but I do agree with you because I too have had my laptop for over three years and is still as fast as day one ( faster since I upgraded the memory ) but as long as you do updates, dont make shortcuts for everything, download alot of crap ect ect ect then it will be fine. Your average user doesnt know to much about upgrades, updates and that sort. Plus microsoft is the target for viruses versus a mac, Linux, unix, ect

 

Why do you hate the people that use Macs? Jealous?

 

So, spend all your time monitoring for the latest patch, but don't download crap..... and don't make shortcuts? What does that have to do with anything?

 

Because of their ignorance. I guess I did not state this clearly enough.

 

Stereotype much?

So let me ask you this: I use a Mac - am I ignorant?

Fwiw, over the past 3 years, over 50% of Mac sales are former Windows users - people well aware of what Windows offers who chose Apple's OS over it. I'm guessing they're not that ignorant as they have practical experience behind their decisions.

 

I stereotype as much as people that use Macs stereotype. Just because Macs are easy to use does not mean it is easier to use (or "better") than windows, just different.

I think you are very ignorant from the comments you have made about using PCs. Of course you have to watch what you download and maintain your computer, where do you think all the problems come from? The patches are downloaded automatically anyways. Are you telling me Apple has never released a patch for their OS?
