Once again I try to stay out of an argument......l. but can't!
I'm with Hitman on this one. I own both, have worked with both since Macs and Windows hit the market. By the way, 1984=Mac , 1987= Usable Windows 3.1.
I have programmed in Basic and C on both platforms, repaired, hardware modified all of them. It's a Ford vs. Chevy, German cars vs. Japanese cars, etc. type of argument. They both have their place, they both are OK.
I make a *damn good* living programming and integrating Microsoft OS, SQL Server, VB, C and ASP. Don't even BEGIN to think I don't know what I am talking about. I use Microsoft products because it is how I make my living. But at the end of the day, when I just want to use a computer without having to install patches, get OS crashes, debug driver problems, go to support.Microsoft.com ten times a day, install Service Packs that are not properly regression tested, fight viruses due to CRAPPY software testing and corporate QA programs, I'll take a Mac any day.
As we speak I am getting ready to buy a new PowerBook in the next month or so - that will be my 4th Mac, 5th Apple, and will takes its place along with 3 Windows PCs here at home. And it will have A PC emulation program on it so I can run Windows AS A TASK under OS X. And yes, I could get a PC notebook cheaper, but I want to see Apple succeed so I will pay them the money.
Some people "Think Different". Other people think like lemmings on a march to Redmond.
