• I do not know you or what you do, and it does not matter to me.
o I have a job that requires that I understand this stuff. Unlike yourself, apparently.
• Unix/Linux is the most stable, solid Computer language ever designed.
o Unix/Linux is NOT a language.
• It is FAR MORE secure and has many other advantages.
o The “more secure” debate has been going on for decades and will continue to go on. The severity and number of vulnerabilities and how quickly they are patched is the only way to judge the security of an operating system. Windows and most Linux flavors fare pretty well in this. OSX lags behind. Yes, they all have some advantages over each other but they all have tradeoffs. To say they don't need to update as quickly because it is more secure is the most absurd thing I've heard in a while. It is automatically less secure BECAUSE there are issues going unpatched.
• Why do you think government based servers are all Unix based.
o Government based servers are NOT all Unix based. Trust me. I know. PM me if you would like some credentials.
• If you know anything about Apple's history
o I already pointed this exact history out
• They build superior Hardware and support it.
o Apple hardware is manufactured by the same companies and uses the same components as every other PC manufacturer.
• They are the Mercedes of the Computer world.
o Mercedes has below average quality ratings.
• Apple was more creative then and supported graphics, even if the PC can handle it now
o
Photoshop is 64bit on Windows but not Mac
• Apple has turned the table on the PC market and pound for pound is grabbing more and more market share.
o
Apple has lost market share recently
• Driver, what the hell is a driver.
o Drivers exist in EVERY operating system. Have you tried to get OSX running on non-Apple hardware? The driver support is non-existent. But of course they mock Windows for this… It’s just not a “problem” for them since they control the hardware.
• It was, and still is to some extent, a large free for all to create product for PC users.
o Yes, it is a free for all. It’s called an open society. I don’t want Jobs dictating my usage habits and software to me.
• Software created for the Mac is much more consistent and under UNIX more independent from each other.
o What does that even mean?
• How many of you PC guys that are commenting work on MACS and are comparing from an educated perspective?
o I don’t work on Macs because they can’t be used to do my job but I have used them a good amount in the past. I had OSX running on my laptop for a while.
• I do not believe PC fanboy articles either.
o Fanboy articles? LOL. Slashdot HATES Microsoft (not for the quality of their products but for their history on open source).
• You cannot argue the fact that it never has had virus issues, and is a cleaner running OS.....period.
o Virus issues… I don’t have Virus issues. And my machines run “clean” so I don’t even know what you’re talking about.
• There are less Ferrari's produced than most other sports car, but they build a superior product.
o Yea but Ferrari’s aren’t made with the same exact parts as Ford and Hyundai.
• As far as Malware people targeting the larger market, you are right about that, even more reason to buy a MAC.
o Ummm ok.
We can argue all day, and in the end it will change nothing. You will continue to love your Mac I will continue to use Windows with an open mind, isn't America Great. But you cannot rip Windows, it is a better product.
