Sign in to disble this ad
Come on guys, if Microsoft is using macs to create their own commercials I think that says ALOT.
On a serious note, this is really sad, they have their own software for this stuff but use mac's, I understand pcs are better for buisness just because of applications but for ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING ELSE its MAC http://www.appleinsider.com/articles...with_macs.html |

Ridiculous!
oh and IMO, the only good way to game is on windows. It's probably the only thing I like better about my pc then my mac. Everything else is pretty much at par.

Are pcs better for making money and macs are better for playing solitaire, or what? |

Run a Windows Operating system on a MAC and you are opening yourselves up to the same viruses and issues any other PC user has. MACS by hardware design don't fix that issue. |

Everything else is pretty much at par. | u may say PCs are better for gaming, but thats just because there's more games geared towards it. i bet if they came out with the popular PC games for mac, they'd run better on the mac. plus there's ways to get around the problem, i.e. getting an emulator and downloading a copy of w/e game, if available.

Since MACS now run the same processors and hardware for the most part, it isn't logical.
Most game developers aren't going to waste time making games for the MAC or even porting them over unless it is a HUGE blockbuster. Too much cost involved for a small installed user base. MACS aren't better, they are just marketed that way and people believe the hype.
Most PC's issues are user error for infecting their own machine with Spyware and Viruses. The MAC "fixes" this due to not having anyone writing Malware for MAC users.
So MAC users think MACS are better when it was their own fault their Windows PC was malfunctioning and the reason they got one in the first place.

Many are saying exactly the opposite. |
