Mac vs. PC & Windows

[MICrophone]

OK, so as a result of somebody infuriating me by spewing slander about Mac in the Nintendo vs. Microsoft topic, I'm creating this topic. I'm not quite sure if this is in the right place, since these are not primarily gaming units, but I wasn't sure where else to put them. So yeah, discuss!

I'll wait to give my reasoning for supporting Mac after I hear some other thoughts. Feel free to throw in Linux if you want; I personally know nothing about it. Also, please list how often you use each computer/system when you respond.

well we had a Windows XP for, like, a year or 3, and then stupid Window Internet exploder bogged down on us, then everything bogged down and it took 23 minuets, after starting up, to do anything. but luckily we have a friend that has a Linux operating system, so that what we have now, Linux is basically a MAC but will run Windows program with a program called "Wine" though it doesn't work that well, for example, I wanted to play a gamemaker game and when i started it the the window to play it in was up in the corner and I couldn't move it, so i couldn't play the game. but overall I like mostly because i only use Firefox Internet any way, and its much faster now.



P.S. just a little tid-bit here but, this is a fact, Windows is the only operating system that has viruses, everything else doesn't have any viruses.

Y'know, I'm one of the few rare people to get both a Windows & Macintosh computers. Well, here are my pros & con for them:



Macintosh

Pros
-Built-in virus protector
-Has a great movie editor/creator (So much better than Windows Movie Maker!)
-Has iTunes
-Built-in music maker/editor
-Has a built-in Internet-thing (Safari)
-Can burn DVDs & CDs
-Can play DVDs

Cons
-Costs too much
-Very little downloads for Macintosh
-1 built-in game (And it's chess.....)
-Little to none PC games to install

Windows

Pros
-Lots of downloads
-Cool text-to-speech voices
-Built-in Microsoft Word
-Costs a lot less
-Also has a built-in music player, similar to iTunes (Windows Media Player)
-Built-in games
-Lots of PC games to install

Cons
-No built-in virus protectors
-Crashes a lot
-Windows Movie Maker can glitch up a lot

How about you make a poll on it? That way we can vote.

There are enough polls. And besides, you can't do polls in Gaming topic.

In fact, why is this in the gaming section if this topic has barely anything to do with games?

Well…as I said I wasn't sure where this would best be placed. Off-Topic didn't seem like the right place…but maybe I should've. Oh well. If a mod feels that it would be better somewhere else, feel free to move it.
