and the war goes on. I have both at home and i need them both. OS X does make a difference but it is no better then the likes of Ubuntu or any other linux/unix distro u may run on a pc.I get more viruses and malware on my PC (logical... way more windows machines out there that can be targeted) but if we talk hardware... let's see: macbook pro 4,1: optical unit: LG, hdd: fujistu, cpu: intel, memory: samsung, wifi: atheros chip, battery: sony... i don't forgot who made the display but... all and all it's a pc without bios. I have to admit that the motherboard on the thing is very good and makes a very stable windows xp machine too (no driver conflicts and stuff like that) but that doesn't mean it is any better than a lenovo t61 or a dell xps or whatever higher end models out there. All i know is that i like my mac and most likely i will replace it some day with a newer model as i will do with my pc (a man has to overclock and play something from time to time)

[citation][nom]excalibur1814[/nom]Yoder54 : " The problem was the result of installing some antiquated software"Thats all I needed to know right there. Apple, somehow has a lot of young supporters that simply cannot see the wood for the trees. We have the older chaps like myself who know what apple are doing, what they sell and can appreciate them and probably use both MS and apple without the madness that comes with it. So many people are now moving to Macs and all I can say is goodbye. How many times have I visited a home to clean up porn/illegal music download/illegal software caused problems and nearly ALL of them say, "Bloomin WIndows!" EXCUSE me, the problem, as above, sits between the keyboard and mouse.Mark my words, the more people that move to macs, the more problems will rise and HEAVEN forbid that the virus/malware guys take note... you'll be back to square one, blaming the software.Just take a quick peak into an apple forum and read about the problems.. go on, I dare you. Apple, Microsoft, Windows, OSX = all fine, all work. The user is the problem (but hey, not all of the time! I'm looking at you HP printer drivers, Creative drivers etc etc)Have a nice day.[/citation]

Don't get me started on Creative drivers... :)

Dunno about anyone else here but I've been using the same install of XP Pro SP3 for 18 months and it has never crashed, even thought utorrent *cough* installed itself *cough* and my Firefox has been know to visit the more...risque web sites (naughty Firefox!) ;) :D

I'll definitely agree that the vast, vast majority of problems are PEBCAK though, no matter what the OS.

Also you can't check out the Mac problems on the Apple forum, because Apple censors it :D

[citation][nom]Yoder54[/nom]And someone else is a Windows Kiss-ass Fanboi...I own both. My Windows machine provides me with 50X more problems than the Mac. I have had one problem in six months with my MacBook Pro, and have only booted it once. The problem was the result of installing some antiquated software. Windows...hah...blue screens, memory freezes, etc. Start comparing part for part, and you will see that Apple is priced the same or less than comparable Win boxes. They boot far faster than a Window machine, they have superior graphics...XP never looked so good since using it on a Mac, never had a memory crash, or any type of malware or virus attack...unlike my Win box. Get your facts together and then talk...you are just blowing hot-air and are ignorant about the facts...are you a Republican?[/citation]

I didn't want to post all of this in the comments section so I hosted it. Take a look. http://freetexthost.com/ojjjvrwvtx

Apple needs to ditch that polycarb shell. Black or white, its total crap. The thing cracks and breaks off, and on the white ones it discolors.
