This thread makes no sense.

Unless...

Maybe the title is stating that Macs are in fact not good computers while PCs are?

 

[seebs]

ROFL!

FWIW, I'm a Unix techie. Don't get me started.

 

[ferment8]

PC!!!!

 

[Chris†opher Paul]

seebs-

Me too. Im a C coder, and I prefer my command line Solaris terminal.

Also, I used to do security stuff...

Amiga!

It only took PC's 20 years to catch up to it graphics wise

I like all platforms, all have their good and bad points.

The most recent iMac with OS X really is a great OS, and the iMac's design rulkez too, but there is still one cavet (*something that the Mac has suffered from since the very first Macintosh), Software. I cannot run the exact same programs on the iMac that I can on my PC. This is why I will never use an iMac for my main PC. Plus, the PC is superior in terms of hardware (Radeon 9700 for PC vs GF4MX for iMac, 2.8GHz P4's vs what 1-1.5GHz G4's for the imac?, etc). And Windows XP is a great OS as well.

Macs are good, PC's are good, Unix is really good for servers, Linux is a good OS too. I would actually switch to Linux except for all those Windows progarms I "need."

Mac's are good, but expensive and incompatible.

Unix is good but I don't relaly hear much about Unix games

Windows is by far the most compatible, the most troublesome, and the one with the best games

ROTFLMHO

THIS MUST BE THE MOST DIPLOMATIC POST ABOUT COMPUTER OS EVER WRITTEN.  

Me I love IMac.

 

[paulewog]

... but I love my PC

 

[Hojo Hominygrits]

HAHA, oh this thread is going to be huge I predict. Maybe we should have a forum just for PC and MAC apologetics!

My stance is that both are good depending on what you want to do.

If you are into video/music editing and desktop publishing only, then Mac is great.

If you actually use your computer for anything other than work, then you want a PC. PC's can do all the desktop publishing/photoshop/music a Mac can. (Albeit not as efficiently) So if you want it all, PC is the way to go. Sorry mac guys, there are simply more options available with a PC. Blame Steve Jobs!

 

[paulewog]

Yeah, I agree with him. Macs are multimedia oriented... all serious Photoshop people use Macs (if you look at photoshop books, all the pictures are Mac screenshots). But they lack soooo much software...

As an application developer, I look at this like any good harlot would:  my favorite platform is the one on which you will pay me to write applications.  On the same note, my favorite language is determined in the same manner.

 

At home though, I use PCs running either Windows 2K or XP, and code in C++ or C#.

 

[paulewog]

C#? I didn't know people used that already, I haven't heard much about it
