And when I needed a high-end workstation for Jdeveloper and DICOM projects, the MacPro was cheaper than the Dell Precision 690. Seriously. I like to poke the windows fanboys with a pointy stick but I also have pretty much one of each variety of OS that I work on, and I never have to worry about issues with the Macs (outside of a bad "A" key on my MacBook Pro out of the box). The only other system that has been as consistent is my Solaris 10 server. It all boils down to which tool is best for the job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have owned a mac and if I was rich I would run a mac server and all macs just cause they look cool and money wouldn't be an issue. but $500 is quite a bit for a slower machine, "cause i havent had any issues since" the only HORRIBLE windows OS was windows ME, xp was alright, os X was better, vista is pretty smooth, the commercials and people going on and on about the security pop ups and so on in vista either arent smart enough to be using vista or need a hobby, the only issue ive seen is AMD deciding not to support old ATI cards for vista. again, not trying to go to war mac vs PC again, just asking, i do like mac's, they just aren't too economical, for little to no benefit, you get less for more.

Guest steggyD Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I don't understand all these people who fuck their PC's up regularly either. There is only one time I have had a PC go down by way of something other than operator error. I had a virus completely fuck up a PC once, in about a dozen years of PC use on multiple PC's. Other times, I have fried a PC, completely my fault, and have gone through trying to delete programs by way of deleting the files instead of uninstalling, then going back and inserting other files ... this was in attempt to crack Windows software. Well, my computer didn't like that much, but completely my own damn fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mongoloido Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Nice computer. Glad you are enjoying it. I'm thinking of selling my fast laptop and replacing it with a MacBook Pro. I enjoy gaming too much to ever give up the hotrod desktop, but I really prefer Mac's for most of the other stuff. The Windows machine can really be super tuned like a Ferrari. However, it can be a real pain in the ass to keep the bios, chipsets, drivers, etc... all up to date. Defrags, spyware blockers, anti-virus, firewall, and the like can be a bit of a pain too. It's as fast as I want to make it, but there is effort involved. Meh. I like 'em both. I think the only weirdos are those who are still afraid of computers. The rest is personal preference.
