[citation][nom]Parsian[/nom]Windows Vista's problems existed, but much of it was over hyped and over exaggerated... All it takes is bunch of people at intelligence level of a Mac user to hear a rumor and then he/she will react religiously without further inquiry to believe the rumor.[/citation]
the think i hated most about vista was its user interface, which sadly, went over to win 7. aside from that it was a resource whore of a system, just because i have 4 gigs of ram in it doesn't mean i want the os to use it all.
[citation][nom]molo9000[/nom]Apple has figured out a long time ago what makes customers happy.Hardware, operating system, drivers and service from the same company just makes for a complete package. Couple that to great industrial design and attention to detail and you have a very satisfying computer even if it doesn't come cheap.[/citation]
no, its pander to hipster morons, and sell your product s the "cool thing" there is not one thing that i use and like more on a mac than i did on windows anything, and that is including every ***** version of windows, vista & me included
[citation][nom]Bluescreendeath[/nom]When you pay $2000 for a Mac, you better be happy or you've realized you've been overcharged for something that really costs half the price.If you buy an expensive glass of wine from a $500 bottle, you're going to say it tastes classy and elegant compared to a cheap wine from a $10 bottle...even if in reality the two wines were actually from the same damn bottle.Self-fulfilling prophecy in psychology.[/citation]
thats people who don't know their wine. iv watched contests where people who know there alcohols compete to tell whats what, and what year, its amassing to see there really is a difference, now is that difference worth 1000$ a bottle? to almost everyone no.
[citation][nom]randomizer[/nom]You could ask the same question of PC owners. Maybe they aren't really happy either. I don't know why some people can't get their head around the concept of personal preferences that are different to their own. It's hypocritical to call Mac users arrogant if you can't comprehend this. Some people buy luxury items because they like luxury items and they can afford them. Some people hardly use computers and a crappy OEM thing for $600 will suffice. Not everyone plays Crysis. Not everyone wants to overclock. Not everyone likes Windows (I know, shocking).I like the look and feel of Mac laptops, but I'd never buy one. I'm a cheapass and OSX is not the right tool for the things I use a computer for. Sadly, most people, even enthusiasts, don't know if they are using the right tool for the job. They just use what they've always used.[/citation]
you do know that a 400$ computer can play crysis at relativity good quality? not saying you will get 1080p at playable framerates.
but its retarded to want a luxury. im in a position where i can get luxury items, but paying 2000$ for something that a 300$ netbook can do just as good, or more if i want some power for something a 1000$ desktop can match?
now look and feel of a mac aside, its retarded to say you pissed away money just to piss it away.
[citation][nom]fyasko[/nom]they don't even make their own OS, it's a tweaked out UNIX OS. soo... really MAC's are the equivalent to gucci or LV, it's a fashion statement, a status symbol. a hyundai genesis is better than a 3 series BMW but no one buys BMW because they are the best, it is because of status. MAC users are the same crop that buy "porche" boxter's and cayenne's.[/citation]
in those cars defense, they are luxury cars, they serve and serve a purpose outside saying you pissed away up to 100 grand or more. a mac is just you pissed money away. a sports car is what you buy car wise to piss money away for the sake of pissing it away
[citation][nom]liveonc[/nom]Case in point is that I didn't call them arrogant, I called them stupid. It's not just branding, but having everything Mac & not having other choices because it's not cool to have them, even though they are possible & that's the shackles they paid for because others have them too.[/citation]
talk to people who use a mac and had a choice between windows and macs. you point out obvious flaws to them and they ignore them or once even called it a feature. one mac fan boy actually told me that my dell or whatever name brand was no different, when i told him i built my own pc, he laughed at me and called me to cheap to even argue with. crap like that is common enough at least with the mac side that i generalize everyone of them as a moron who isn't worth talking to until they prove themselves. i mean even console owners are less vocal fanboys than anyone who uses apple ***
[citation][nom]randomizer[/nom]You may not have called them arrogant, but you still can't comprehend personal preference. It's a sign that you haven't really had any experience outside your Zone of Familiarity. You like to think of yourself as superior and open-minded, yet you are quite the opposite. It's a fairly common trend I've seen amongst the news article comments. There are the Mac fanboys, the much larger group of "PC"/Windows fanboys (the "enlightened" and "open-minded" people), the Linux fanboys (there's not a great deal on this site) and the few who have enough experience in more than one platform to see the advantages and disadvantages of each, and who can understand the concept of personal preference.For the record, I think Lenovo ThinkPads are awesome. I was considering an X200s quite some time ago but couldn't justify the cost for my uses.[/citation]
yea, and than there is the fact that some people are just stupid.
i play games, and i dont like macs, and thats the first thing that gets thrown in my face when speak, but even if i dont play games, and 90% of the time im on a computer, i would still use windows because its better. everything i do, and i have used osx, requires me to pres keys on the keyboard to do it where on windows its left a right click for almost anything. or my favroite, when i did something on a mac, but it didn't do anything, this is hard to explain if you don't use windows because you are already use to it.
