Ooh! I want to play!
When you show me Macs that are equal to PCs at the same price, then we can talk...
Define equal.
...By Apple fans, not by many. iPhoto is the only app that most people will ever use...
PDF files are useless anyway.
And you'd replace them with what?
And not being able to read PDF file is nowhere near as bad as not being able to handle external displays right.
I'm sorry you've had trouble with displays, but for me, it's Windows 7 that can't seem to figure out I have two monitors attached and that I want the Taskbar and my icons to stay in the
same place every time I restart.
I'll say that PCs are better value for the money...
Biased, meaningless statement.
Don't forget that OS X doesn't have a 64-bit version of Photoshop either.
Not the fault of Apple; therefore moot. (It isn't moot's fault, either.)
Thats subjective. I find Windows to be more logically laid out. It's easier to start software that you don't have pinned to the dock/taskbar, and its easier to navigate where one needs to be.
That's subjective. Leave it be.
Installing software is easier in OS X, but uninstalling it is a hassle, considering you have to hunt down endless files and folders all over the HDD.
That's better than not being able to uninstall software, like in Windows, which will re-install everything upon a restart (Vista).
Hunting down left behind files as well as running Onyx takes no less time than ccleaner and Disk Defrag in Windows.
Except that you don't really have to do it for OS X.
Don't get me started on OS X's instability. I've had Tiger and Leopard crash more combined than I've ever had Windows (all versions combined) crash in the nearly 2 decades I've been using Windows.
Personal experience, not representative of the collective body of thought deemed accurate.
...thats better than the MacBook Pro because its actually a 16x9 aspect ratio and not 16x10.
Subjective like nobody's business.
Screw 16x9, and that's also subjective. Neither is better than the other. End of story.
Besides, even Vista Basic still looks better than the depressing grey of OS X.
Subjective.
Only Home Premium and Pro will be available to consumers. Ultimate and the other versions will only be available to specific customers.
Are you listening to yourself? Ultimate and Professional will be available at any store. Starter and Enterprise are the only ones that will be hard to obtain.
You don't need $500 GPUs to play games. Those are just high end products for the people who want the best. Cheaper GPUs that cost around $200 can play any game at high settings and will be able to for at least a couple of years to come.
Holy cow, we agree.
I have yet to see anyone prove that OS X does as much as Windows does.
The reverse is also true. Define "does".
And Apple's customer support, again, is no better than the rest.
Testing (for years) shows otherwise.
And what do you mean you won't need to? Downloaded movies from iTunes and Amazon and Netflix can't even begin to compare to blu-ray quality. You're comparing half the resolution with sometimes as little as 1/10th the bitrate as well as overly compressed audio (compared to lossless and uncompressed on blu-ray).. theres just no comparison, blu-ray is light years ahead of downloadable movies. Plus you have to take into consideration the fact that the average broadband connection worldwide (even in the US) isn't even capable of streaming one of those so-called high definition films in real time.
Agreeing aside: For more on this, please see my previous posts on the state of Blu-ray and its place in Macs and all future computing hardware for the next six to seven years.
Apple is pretty much the only company NOT supporting HDMI at the moment.
Since HDMI is for televisions, it makes sense that Apple wouldn't put it on their computers.
the software is incredibly limited and unstable.
Personal experience, not representative of the collective body of thought deemed accurate.
I use multiple external displays on my Mac. In Windows, it remembers each display and how each one is configured and defaults to that configuration each time.
Not my experience.
...VGA... Yeah that makes sense.
Supporting a port outdated in 1999. THAT makes sense.
Oh, and every respectable display made in the last 3 or so years has included HDMI.
And that I just don't understand. Nice if you use your display for a TV, but worthless otherwise.
In OS X I'd have to click on each individual one to preview it.
Command+A, Spacebar.
Care to explain how 16x10 is better than 16x9?
Care to explain how 16x9 is better than 16x9? Subjective.
If you want proof of Home Premium and Pro being the only units available to consumers, I suggest you read the news.
Sorry, with all the quoting, I have no clue if you are talking about Vista or Seven. If you're talking about Seven, that's nonsense. If you're talking about Vista, that's nonsense.
First of all, the iMac screen is terrible. It's a mirror.
Yep, glossy sucks. But that's subjective.
Second, for that price, you can build a system that would mop the floor with the Mac Pro and still have several hundred dollars left over.
Entirely incorrect.
The form factor argument fails with notebooks too. Why? Again, choice. Apple doesn't give you a choice of what you can buy. Its either the one thing or nothing at all.
So don't buy it. It has worked for them so far. The majority of the population doesn't give a frick.
I was talking about monitors and built-in functionality, such as being able to properly set up multiple displays... That sort of functionality is built into EVERY OS that is NOT Mac OS.
Not my experience. Windows can't do it right.
All you do is say "personal experience" despite the fact that hundreds of links on google will back up everything I say.
So link to some of these Google hits. I'd like to see how many people are doing it wrong.
Fingerprint readers aren't at all about security. They're completely about convenience. Want to log into the OS? Swipe your finger. Log into MacRumors? Swipe your finger.
Log into... ah, frig. It's gummed up and won't sense anything.
Downloadable video is definitely NOT the future.
Agreed, not the foreseeable future, anyway.
as well as the DRM problems that come with digital distribution.
As opposed to the lack thereof with disk media...
If I want to watch it on a bigger screen I need the right adapters and cables or else HDCP kicks in and I can't watch it. I also can't transfer it to disc to watch on another player.
That's... not Apple at all. That's Sony's consortium of frigtards who came up with the Blu-ray DRM.
I believe that it is obvious that you refuse to listen to anything that any of us have to say, and are no better than a troll.
Let me be perfectly clear: TROLLS ON BOTH SIDES ARE EQUALLY WORTHLESS. No one wants to see someone touting Windows without regard for anyone's opinions on OS X, and no one wants to see someone touting OS X without regard for anyone's opinions on Windows.
You fall into the first category.
It has already been posted!!
Just link your arguments! No need to create wall of texts....
Hey! Where have I seen that before?
Oh, and I tried shrinking the text, but it didn't shrink the quotes. Ah, well.
