Mac vs. PC

[Sithking Zero offline]

Nope, the PC's are in the lead. Sorry!

This is why you don't add your own personal convictions to a poll, k?


PCs are accessable, and most games play only on PCs.

And, if it wasn't for iPods, Apple woulda tanked a while back.

Not true...
Apple just would have focused on more specialized fields.
Plus, the only reason it lost value in the beginning was because the original staff members thought Job's genius was too "radical," and thus had Jobs go on a temporary hiatus.
Anyway, Jobs was the guy who founded some of the computers that changed the world.
For example, he invented the NEXT workstation, and on one of those, Tim Berners-Lee invented the Internet.

Along with Al Gore...hee hee.

Exactly. If not for the iPod, we would not be having this conversation.

A revival to my old thread...

I found THIS in the Microsoft Vista User License

Obviously, I'd be annoyed when I find out I don't own the software on my $1000 computer when they tell me that I only have "some rights".

Now check Mac OS X

[TheAppleFreak]

I did. No mention of Apple having complete and utter ownership over Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. The people actually own their Macs, and we can edit the system as much as we want.
Its there in black and white.
And French.
And Spanish.
And Dutch.

Took a little searching around to find it, though.

K then.

Now, what's the most pirated OS in the world? Windows or Mac?

[Jazzy Josh offline]

It pretty much boils down to:

Editing/Design: Mac

Games/Customization: PC

That and you have several OSes to choose from on a PC (Windows, Linux, UNIX, BSD, etc.). I know that you can put linux on a Mac. But, honestly, why would you when the whole reason for buying a Mac is to be able to use a Mac OS. Honestly, I have to go with a PC for that reason (Plus if you REALLY wanted to, you can put OS X on a PC) *cough*OS X on x86*cough*
