    I think you must work for mac. All those commercials are blatantly bias. I use windows and I can work faster because I have every tool I need.

    The ads are funny but untrue, I think Microsoft should make ads about all the flaws with Apple systems.

    I'm not a fan-boy period. I have a Macbook, & using Leopard on my pc, but there are tons of reasons why Mac is not worth it, even more so then a pc, or just as much, One of the major is Price, its overpriced like crazy, if you know hardware then you know Apple charges a lot for there systems, even the mac-mini is far too expensive for its specifications.

    Anyway Overall I love my Macbook, I couldn't go without a PC in the past, but I've stopped gaming, so atm I'm ok with using Leopard. Still Leopard has a lot of hiccups, that they never show..

    Just my thoughts :]

    Edit: I think both the Mac & Windows guys are funny..

    You know I gotta agree with you. One thing that Mac fails to tell you is price. What they sell me for $2,000 I can get double that in a Windows machine for 1k less.

    The only thing I have enjoyed from Apple is their iTunes, iPod, Final Cut Studio and basically that's it.

    Some people are so uptight. Relax its a commercial. Although I think they make no sense I have to agree that they're funny.

    They are just funny, that's all. You can do with a Mac anything you can do with a PC and vice-versa.

    I agree. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. But when it comes down to it. Its whatever is more popular.

    Mac's still lack gaming rigs, reasonably priced multimedia rigs. Tablet Notebooks and of course their price is way too high.

    Meh, the fact that the MS does not put out commercials makes this all very one sided.

    Both serve their purpose.

    I tend to think of MACS as arts and crafts and PC's for business.

    However marketing departments have been using them exclusively before most of you were born.

    On the Flipside, make me a 3D CAD drawing without dual booting or running third party app such as wine.

    I am a fan of both and when i need one versus the other I will use it accordingly.

    I am amazed how people react though. Mac users are extremely one sided while PC/MAC users can hold a conversation on what works for them and the pros/cons.

    It is very hard to talk to these thick heads though. Seriously you can tell within 10 seconds if you have a a drone or not.

    I am in the IT field and must be to flip the switch for the demand at any given time.

    I am amazed how close minded some people in the IT field are.

    Well, 95% of world's software runs on Windows, that's why is so popular. Why bother with another system/OS which runs just some software, when you have one that runs every software? :D

    Well its hard to find people without bias on any subject. And the same thing is true. Why do you think in the programming field few new programming languages are ever adopted by big corporations.

    Although PHP is very powerful very few mega corporations use it. The main reason they rather stick with a ASP or a .NET framework or use ColdFusion.

    Plus you also have to look at the fact that Mac carries very little credibility outside of home users and the entertainment industry. If its credibility could build up more corporations would consider using it.
