Mac vs. Windows

04-07-2007, 04:05 PM

So, title says it all. Which do you prefer? I am a Mac user and will never buy a windows PC again.

I'm a windows user, however if i could afford an apple i would definitely get one, i hear they're alottttt better.

I voted for Windows, purely because I am known with it. Not for security reasons haha.

I voted for mac. I use one, I have two, I love it! but there are certainly advantages of windows (a few) and if you take the time windows CAN be secure (sometimes >.>)

Also, Linux is great too! :P

Windows, have you guys ever heard of firewalls and antivirus applications?

I prefer Macs plus you can install Windows on them, if you ever need to but with the amazing features available; no need yet unfortunately I do not own a Mac though I am planning to get one

Mac programs dont like me they crash way to easy! and there no really good backup for mac

MyNameIsLee · 04-08-2007, 06:47 AM

I'm going with Mac, I use a mac, and there awsome. Just something that are wrong with it are that the document programes suck lol, Is there any good ones that a free i can download? For schoolwork/essays ect.?
Also, Macs graphics are sexy as. I'm glad i got mine, then again, i have a windows pc for backup.

If you mean a free Microsoft Office alternative for Mac, I can only recommend OpenOffice for all yet you can check amongst the internet for separate programs

purrdeta · 04-08-2007, 07:31 AM

You might also wanna check out "Neo Office" for mac. It is based off of openoffice but all aqua like :P

Blaster · 04-08-2007, 09:13 AM

yea see with linux you can make it look like mac or vista

4four4 · 04-08-2007, 10:14 AM

I prefer windows seems though i used it all my life.

Xaero · 04-12-2007, 11:24 AM

Mac'cage for life

Windows. A little less simple to use, but the complexity delivers a good result. Although, I admit, Macs are supposed to be quite good.

MyNameIsLee · 04-12-2007, 01:32 PM

I might buy a windows pc as my next.. Lol, Macs are sooo good, but i miss windows..

Just buy a Windows Vista or XP Installation CD, then install it using the Bootcamp beta.

MyNameIsLee · 04-12-2007, 01:37 PM

But i gottaaa Mac mini, and its not got enough memory and externals are poo even though im getting one.
For Windows, you can buy all differant things and custimize it..

If you got a MacPro desktop you can too, but not as much as you can with these PC's lol.. I will keep my Macmini and geta new windows ina few years time when im not living with my parents

Joshua · 04-12-2007, 01:39 PM

For certain windows applications, you can use Wine

MyNameIsLee · 04-12-2007, 01:46 PM

But i prefer Beer?

J.k, whats wine?

MyNameIsLee · 05-14-2007, 07:55 AM

Anyone know a good, free document program for mac's, like Microsoft word. But for mac, and free?

OpenOffice suite is a reasonable program, or you can try AbiWord.

MyNameIsLee · 05-14-2007, 01:22 PM

Thanks Joshua, I have NeoOffice now, it was recommended by a friend

Thanks though, if I find any problems on this, I might try one of the ones you have told me.. But from what i have done already on NeoOffice, it seems okay to be honest

.. Thanks.

I know for a fact that Windows will always win in these polls, mainly because they are more commen, every computer apart from Apple computers come with Windows, so people are more likely to prefer them, it's usually only the more advanced computer users that use Macs. I personally use a Windows, Vista to be precise, but if I had the money, I may be tempted to buy a Mac, as they are really lovely computers. The only problem I have with them, is tha I have gotten so used to the Windows interface, that I would find using a Mac a bit hard to get used to, as I'm so used to Windows.
