If apple was a church, those words would be blasphemy.

thanks to fusion and parallels the last advantage of windows based pc'c is gone .. the availability of various apps...is gone


even consumer reports puts macs on top of the heap

Good thing PC Magazine did that test before trying to upgrade to 10.5.2.

For many Apple users, Apple is a church, and criticizing it is indeed the equivalent of blasphemy.

Cool, what does that make Steve Jobs to those people then? Is he God or L. Ron Hubbard? Does that mean Apple Stores are local congregations? I guess the sales staff are missionaries.

Do they have prayer mats with the Apple logo on them that you can use to bow down and pray in the direction of Cupertino on?

If what you're saying is true that's actually not a bad idea.

Probably a combination of both.

The mats are probably on the way, along with sushi bars and vitamin counters.

I don't plan to worship at the altar of Apple, I just want a reliable platform. Apple used to represent the latter.

The tides have turned???

In what sense exactly?

From a standpoint of marketshare, they have not yet turned (tradition sets that value at 50%).

From a standpoint of changing the industry, I'll say that the tide hasn't turned yet either; Apple has always been leading the industry. 😉

If things keep up, I believe we're going to see a very dramatic shift between which computers are used in the home, and which ones are used in the corporate setting.

Larger purchasers have an incentive to buy cheaper PCs (like Dells or HPs) because they are more cost effective on a bulk scale. On a lesser scale (a dozen or so for example) Macs are more cost effective (no need for IT and no time spent cleaning up or defragging, etc).

I know that seems bizarre (why it's more expensive for one, but not the other) but it's a basic economics of scale idea. Plus, larger corporate settings generally require specialized software that may not be available for Macs (although this will fade as time goes on).

However, that doesn't mean that large corporations can't use Macs. Companies like Genentech already do. It's simply less likely.

However, I do believe that we will see a much larger shift among home and small business users toward the Mac platform. It offers them better time efficiency and will cost less over the long run (no need to spend money on anti-virus software and the like).

You fanboys do realize it's called "PC Magazine," right? PC stands for "personal computer," which is what an Apple computer is, even more so now since it uses the same generic hardware as everyone else. So of course, if Apple makes the best PCs in the industry, it will say so. And I'm also sure if tomorrow Dell made better PCs, the magazine would reflect it. There's no agenda, they're just rating the hardware.

I wouldn't call myself a fanboy, I just love apple's products. Although "PC" DOES mean personal computer, it has come to mean a windows-operated platform (such as Dell) in layman's terms... PC Mag is EXTREMELY biased towards the windows-based PC's (not even my opinion, just common knowledge), so it's not every day when they tell you Apple comps/osx are fairing well or better than PC's that run windows. Just as someone else has said here, "the tides are turning", and I agree with them. I know ms still controls most of the market when it comes to computers and software, but apple is definitely rising in the ranks, which I'm happy to see. 😀

haha there we go then 😉

I did try linux once, but after having to mess around with the console I gave up 😉

Windows = Games
Mac = everything important.

Job done

My mac runs Windows better than my pc with a much higher spec does.
