Debate of the Week: Windows vs Mac

[Andrew.McGivery]

Probably one of the biggest debates in technological history, so we might as well do it.

Do you prefer Windows or Mac? Give reasons why.

[Arucard]

Well mine will be simple i choose PC why? never use a mac before so thats all i can really say

[Andrew.McGivery]

I've used a mac, and I hated it. End of story.

I've used a mac and hated the interface. Horrid. Love windows!

I'm a mac guy. I wasn't always though. In fact, I have a gaming computer that's windows-based. I used to bash macs until I tried one. Now the only reason I touch a PC is to play TF2.

I think the phrase should be "Once you go Mac you don't go back". I mean like hardcore use it though. Not just once, but for like a week.

It's kind of hard to explain. I just like the... simplicity.

And contrary to popular belief, Macs CAN get viruses, it is just amazingly hard to exploit bugs/flaws in OS X which allow for them. So I don't ever use that as a reason

I guess as a graphic designer, mac is the right choice for me.

That's EXACTLY how I would've said it. Windows for gaming (but I don't even play video games anymore), use it for like a week, it's simple and intuitive, no viruses, and industry standard for all multimedia work. Those points exactly ;D

Ive never used Mac, so i guess ill say Windows.

Why do most designers choose Mac

[Andrew.McGivery]

I think more of a reason why Mac's don't get viruses that much is because noone targets Mac. Why? Because windows is a bigger market. More computers. More damage.

I believe it's because their high end graphics monitors are kick ass. I'll give Mac that. They have nice monitors.

I like PC/Windows the best. I have only tried a Mac once and was lost so I never went to Mac ever again.
