Windows Vs. Macs
 
Are you a Windows or Mac Person?

Mr.Anon.E.Mouse 08-21-2005 03:01 AM

Mac.

I gots a G4 and a PowerBook, but sometimes I have to work on a PC to check for compatibility, plus other things. Fine with me.

I'd like to be a Mac person, but I'm a PC Games person, which means I'm a Windows person.

Clodfobble 08-21-2005 09:57 AM

I have one of each. Mac for audio work, PC for everything else.

PC for games, plethora of Macs for everything else.

My Mac days are way way behind me (this reprepsents the platform of my most recent experience). I didn't plunge into the windows world right away, though. I have a Pied Piper (CP/M) machine downstairs, along with the Amiga 1000 (both running, well, they were running when I parked them). Eventually, DOS, then Windows.

Windows dominates my computing life now. I'm sure there are other similarly capable platforms available, but I just don't have the bandwidth to spare to get up to speed on them. Windows for work, Windows for home, Windows for recreation. *sigh*

I'm happy to hear about all your other experiences.

I work on both, but prefer windows. Mac OS X has some really neat tools and tricks, but if you're not in the entertainment industry, virtually everyone is using Windows. I'll go with a 100 times bigger software selection, and the same or better performance to Mac in all areas (including graphics, sound, and video-editing), the same or better stability than Macs, and half the price of the Mac.

Work - Win2k, who cares? It's work.
Games - WinXP or OSX work fine for me
Fun, Fun Work, and Even More Games - Linux

Unix and Unix-derived OSes jive with my personal philosophy and would be my work platform if I had a choice.

Just moved to a Powerbook some months ago. The PC has collected dust ever since.

itzBoo 08-22-2005 12:05 AM

I am half and half of windows and macs, my reason for this is because they both have their advances and vice versa.

Hobbs 08-23-2005 10:07 AM

In all honesty, I would love to be excusively Mac, but I have better access to PC software at work. Most of the Mac stuff is also cost prohibative to own over a PC. The Macs multimedia capabilities is kickass.

Kitsune 08-23-2005 10:19 AM

Really, Hobbs? I found that with all of the software that comes with a Mac by default that it was cheaper in the long run.

Of course if by "better access" you really mean "pirate", then I understand what you mean.

Hobbs 08-23-2005 10:31 AM

Not pirated, our office is completly PC so I have access to quadrillion dollars of high end multimedia and 3d animation software.

Pie 08-23-2005 12:11 PM

At home we have:
1 windows box (almost never used)
2 Macs (1 cube & 1 TiBook)
2 Linux boxes (1 Slackware & 1 gentoo/MythTV)
