I hardly see any threads about MACs in here.

I did used before Mac OS. It's not bad let's say, not yet targeted by viruses, so there are very few (viruses). Also it is Unix-based (using the Darwin kernel). It is very similar to windows, but there still are some differences. The Minimize, Maximize/Restore and Exit buttons are in the left side of the title bar instead of the right one, and in a different order, and i can't say too much. Just search on YouTube for some vids with screen captures of this OS and you'll see how it is.

Me? I don't like it. Since this Microsoft vs. Apple war, they both do really horrible OSs. I like Ubuntu. It offers almost same windows does, and it is also free. But of course use windows, because the number of games, programs is much bigger on windows than ubuntu/linux...

Considering only about alittle over 3% of computers worldwide are its not to strange.
 
some members have Macs here. Maybe they don't post thread cause they hardly get a problem with it, or of they do.. the forum can't even help... that's my personal view on the matter.
 
Apple have some nice ideas, and it looks sweet, but i dont find it particularly productive (whats up with the lack of a maximise button! and one button mice!). Also its tied to apple H/W, poor HW support, not that much software available, and its costly.

And yes, this is from someone who actually owns a mac.
 
Yeah i like to use the mac OS, i like it, i just the like the features etc, photo booth is cool to have a play in, i will be getting a mac when i get older. i'll add vista onto it as well :)
 
I am a lifelong Mac user, and just got my first windows machine. I'm quite fond of the Mac OS, as it it difficult to accidentally mess up or crash it. The lack of malware aimed at the Mac goes a long way toward balancing out the dearth of games for it. On the other hand, the computers, while nice, are a PITA in that they are mostly unupgradeable, and sacrifice function for form in some ways(No Expresscard slot? WTF?) one-button Mice? The Mac keyboards are also pretty short on function keys/media keys.

Yes i can agree with you there, mostly with everything you have said.

The mouse does getting annoying after a while. But if i spend say, an hour on a mac surfing the net and then go onto my laptop, i start treating it like a mac, by using the 2 finger scrolling.
 
Cohen, I solved that problem completely by getting a Logitech VX Revolution for it :p
Quiltface, I've got an Apple IIe in the attic if you want it lol
 
I dunno, maybe it's the whole 3% market share thing.

Oh, and the fact that they're SOO easy to use:rolleyes:


^ Sorry for the blatant lie....
 
kind of like all those im a mac and im a pc are blatant lies as well...

they should have a mac and pc commercial where the pc says "o yeah butt head, im going to take away support for MS Office... now how cool are you" (which has been pondered by microsoft)

or they should have one that has a pc installing all kinds of software and the mac skimming through a bunch of programs until it finds one it can understand.... you know something that doesnt have an "i" infront of it.
 
Because Macs aren't really able to be disassembled (something we deal a lot in this forum is about individual parts of computers)
