This had me in absolute stitches!

Ah, that again. I remember seeing that 3 years ago, and it was humorous then - and it was equally so now

I own a mac and I love it, but I find I never use it anymore in lue of my PCs. Some of the things in there are true, but most of them are either blatantly wrong or it's just a windows user trying to use it like windows.

Oh well, it's still pretty funny, especially the norton part.

That guy's episode sounds remarkably like my experiences with Windows. I can show you the holes in my wall where I have literally banged my head against it on account of Windows. Arrrggghhhh!!!!

I have never used a Mac, but I love Unix. Now that Mac OSX is Unix, the Mac might be worth a 2nd look.

I'm also a very big Unix fan; I use it at work and for occassional school projects. I also really enjoy using linux.

The thing is, there's problems with all the OSs. And, when they make them better, we'll still find more things to complain about them.

Oh, it's that old Windows/Mac rivalry of years gone by... (*sigh*) I thought this was already settled years ago.

It's quite simple really, Mac is much more stable, Windows is much more compatible and accessible. Prioritize and take your pick. You play games, use various software, listen to music or watch movies on your computer, choose Windows. Heck, it's not like you have any other choice/alternative anyway. However, if you're a developer, programmer, writer of any kind, stick with Mac or Unix. You'll be thankful you did.

I actually thought about buying a Mac a couple of years back, but the wheels of life never turned in that direction. And since I used to be a huge gamer, the choice between using Windows or not was no choice at all.

As a guy who uses Flash, Photshop and Illustrator a lot, i'd love a mac.

As a gamer, i'll stick with my PC, especially since those programs work fine on it (ah, the difference a gb of ram makes). ^^

I spent years as a pro-Windows anti-Mac advocate. I spoke loudly to anyone who'd listen (from a safe distance) about the evils of Macs. Then my roommate sophomore year in college had one, and a year later, so did I. To this day I love my Powerbook--I have a PC which I built, and use my Mac. You can get the best of both worlds if you try hard enough, and with Apple switching to the x86 now, we might just see more games for OSX. Yay!

While the Apple switches to the X86... PC is taking the first steps to move to the Cell processor... leaving Mac behind again... lol!

j/k.
