Just saw those new Apple commericials and wast pretty amazed at how bad they have gotten. Nothing turns me off of a company like blatant lying. Apple has turned a new low.

I could go on and poke holes at a lot more on there...
Oh just one more!! "It's beautiful" - give me a break! Urgh! If I wanted a computer that looked like a, well, Mac, I'd buy a Mac LOL.

Or you could buy a lamp and slap a Mac logo on it. Hell, it'll probably run apps just as fast and *still* be more compatible.

Apart from Sun, IBM, HP, SGI...
...and anyway, I thought MacOS X was a version of Unix - so Apple are saying they wrote Unix?

Lets see here: PC's have more trouble. Why: more users, more hardware, more programs. Any computer will have problems, whether it's a Mac or PC.

I don't mind having alternatives, but it bugs me when the supporters are so zealous as to completely ignore other possibilities. I don't have anything against Linux, OS X, but they are just not the best for me.

Software is a big thing here too, specifically games---especially since Loki was going under last I heard, and they were the major porter of Windows-to-Linux games. I also like the freedom to buy something off the shelf at Best Buy and not have to worry if I'll be able to get it working under my OS.
If I were to have a Mac, I'd want that defunct Mac Cube---that was soooo awesome.

Hey guys, stop fighting...Apple is so cool, you know how it is...with their whole stealing the GUI from Xerox and then trying to patent it and all ;(
And they say MS is a monopoly.
Jobs is planning to port MacOS to the PC, which is a great alternative...however, there is no alternative in my opinion for a PC.

^^^^^
and your thought is backed by what?...lol
MACS do things for some people , and PC do others.
to each their own
i have worked on a MAC G3, only had 128mb of ram, and saw NO positives over it from my p3 500. it was my sis b/f, and he alwayy was like, my MAC is better then your PC.
Until i started multitasking with PS, Illustrator, bryce, and running an ftp, icq, a few IE windows, i then told him to try that,
he opened Photoshop, then tried to open Illustrator and got the error of
"You are out of system resources, in order to blah blah, please close some applications"
that shut him up for a while
Macs can be good, for interior decorating maybe
