Re: Macs

I was on the Mac side until Windows 7 came out.

Windows 7 is so good, I switched sides on OS's.

I can make a list:

1. Macs are less of a target for viruses.
2. Macs have better graphics.
3. Macs freeze less often, and when they do, they often recover quickly.
4. Apple provides better customer service.
5. Macs have Dashboard, iMovie, Photo Booth, and GarageBand. 'Nuff said.

6. Easy window switching
7. Cool symbol: 

4. Sadly, yes.
5. Yes, but Windows has Desktop Widgets, Movie Maker, and Paint/Photo Viewer.

5.5-Macs also have Exposé.
8-infinity-Macs have built in games, Terminal!!!!!! emacs FTW!

7. Really? How? I need to open exe files sometimes.
5.5. Well, Vista (and possibly Windows 7) have their own version too, so it's not much of an arguing point.

5. Dashboard= Macs version of Widgets, only Dashboard doesn't just pop up and annoy you every time you start up (I used to have Vista, I know what I'm talking about).
iPhoto= Mac version of Photo Viewer
iMovie= Mac version of Movie Maker
Paint is probably the only thing that I miss from Windows, but I use GIMP and Corel Painter Essentials 4, so I'm okay without it.

Re: Macs

Here's my main point: On Macs, it is much easier (not to mention faster) to find what you're looking for, and they just look a whole lot better.

Actually, it's just against the Mac OS X EULA, not the law.

6. But windows can't open them. [DMGs]

Au contraire. You can open DMGs on Windows by getting 7-zip, opening the DMG file with it, and then opening the file with the extension "hfs" inside the DMG with 7-zip.
