Why do you love Macs?

[JoeG4]

When i entered mine, it was rejected. Took me a while to realize my code is an "upgrade" code and not a "complete" code. I had to roll back to XP, upgrade to 64bit vista (yes, that's another lession. 32bit vista can't go straight to 64bit Win 7), then upgrade to 64bit win 7. took me almost a full day to get that thing to work and reinstall all the necessity.

Snow Leopard is the first exception to the rule on this I've seen in forever! IIRC, the $29 SL disks don't check, but all previous upgrade disks DID. ><

What really blows about that is when you stick a new hard drive into an old mac, and have to install the OS twice.

I don't love it, there is some irrational emotional bond tied to it.

As to why? Pure innovation and design. Everything about the machine is superior to any other computer I have come across.

I grew up with a Mac, my family never owned a PC. So I have been using Macs all my life and see no need to try out a Windows.

Yes I do have experience with Windows and sure it is ok, but I'm glad I grew up with Apple.

Pretty much my story too.

I like OS X and Apple's hardware is well designed but a bit overpriced.

I've got no problems with using Windows (and do use it a lot) but given the choice I'd rather use a Mac.

Its not really overpriced hardware if you look at how much other companies are selling laptops similar to the macbook pro for (if you can even find one). People get caught up in specs but if my core 2 duo is faster on OSX than a HP Envy with i3 is on windows what do I care?

the sole reason i got a mac was because of the iOS Dev program.

I like the OS because I find it logical to use and more reliable and dependable than Windows. I don't find Linux to be suitable for my use so that makes OSX king. I tolerate the hardware for the aforementioned reasons.
