Gee..go to apple's website for an impartial view of which is better? That's like going to CBS for an impartial viewpoint of the 2004 presidential election.
This conversation got way too serious...my bad. I just needed to vent my mac frustrations. I have tried to be patient...but from using the Mac itself to using their idiotic software to quirks with the iPod (why no on/off button or a stop button) I have come to realize that the people that love them probably love them just to be different. A badge of honor. Kind of like unix geeks.
I run a 6 year old PC at home and typically multitask with about 20+ programs open at once....rarely ever run into an issue. I try to do two things at the same time on a stupid mac and the POS freezes up. I thought they were supposed to be more reliable and easy to use? Not in my book. Things that take one easy click on Windows take several clicks on a Mac. Annoying things like that.
Kevy - If you are on a laptop, and want to use it as a laptop, you will not want to plug in a USB mouse. Why are they so fixated on making life so difficult. I use the right click all day long. I dont want to plug in an extra mouse or have to hit and hold a key while I click just to activate the right click menu options. I dunno...just seems unnecessarily complicated for me.
Websites don't look right in safari, tons of software doesn't run on Mac...plus all the usability issues...I just don't see why people pay an arm and a leg for one of these things. I do understand they are better for intense graphical work, but then again those types that do that sort of stuff tend to be somewhat anti-establishment in nature thus tend towards the anti-pc anyway.
