for anyone who answers "MAC" - please see the following thread:

The Official Macintosh Users Thread!!

i like mac but i also like the pc too

[Grizzly]

Well I'm a nerd and hardly know anything abouts macs but the fact they can't play any games, (good games), just makes me shake my head and gives them a thumbs down. I mean I know PC's are easier to get a virus on, but with good protection and smart choices of where you go it is extremely easy to keep your computer safe. Plus I just find PC's more appealing that macs with the stuff you can do.

My dad did build a G4 though and it is pretty awesome too. But mine is still faster

it's true our game selection is slim - but i'm a console gamer mostly so it doesn't really bother me. I still have all the Blizzard games, and as far as PC games go there isn't really anything else i give a damn about (besides CivIV and EQII - PCs also have mad hacking/emulation abilities that i wish i could be involved with. i always have to have my friends burn me dreamcast discs with emulators on them as NERO is PC only.

gaming aside, NOTHING that i use my computer for could i do better on a PC. Audio/Video production, graphic design, anything involving the web - the Mac is the artists machine, by artists for artists of all mediums. so for me - Macs all the way. that and i'm rabidly passionate about Apple (see my thread on the subject) hehe...

EDIT: this is hardly a word game - could a mod please move it, its placement is weirding me out...

I use PC's due to the haste I can design/code web sites in. I've attempted on Apple's while working for certain companies and I just can't work in the same time frame.. don't know why, just some kind of handicap I have.

I will agree that Apple computers are far superior in my opinion to the PC when creating graphics/vecters/3d. I believe most standard design software's are first made for MAC anyways, then written for PC's.

[Daddy]

Personal computers are hot.
Most graphic design applications are written for PC first.
Why?
Market share! Wasting development time on an application whose demograph only holds 10% of the market is frivolous.

[hellbred]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure graphic suites by big name software developers like Adobe, Alias (now Autodesk), E Frontier, Corel, etc have always made software for Macintosh first.. least that's how it use to be because I'd always be waiting for the latest PC versions of Photoshop and Poser when they already hit Macintosh. I don't think the common user is in mind upon product launch, but more so corporations who are buying hundreds or thousands of licenses at a time.

[LocoColt04]

That's because the publishing industry, for the most part, uses Apple computers. For THEIR SPECIFIC MARKET, yes, they design for the MacOS first.


I use both, so I can't really vote on the poll one way or the other. I own PCs, but I love Macs. It wouldn't be fair to run either way, I think.

[Omega]

I use PC and own PC. I have used MACs in High School, but this is my first computer and hopefully one I will own for a very long time. I have no problem with MACs, they are alright computers, I just remember alot of errors playing games and it was kind of frustrating.

But they are both good computers I bet.

As I can run Linux on either type of system, I really don't care. As long as it's a decent machine that WORKS PROPERLY, I am happy. Windows' OS's and Mac OS's have far too many issues for my liking.

Cheers to open software.
