Some Serious Hardware!!

All the hardware is for the people that work with him, not for himself. And as anyone who works in or closely with media and production, there's only one format they use - Apple.

So when he hires the next bright young thing straight out of college, he doesn't want to be presented with blank looks when he plonks him down in front of some Dell...

Typing this on my PC btw (all our designers use Macs though).
 
Its funny, because in the IBM powerpc era of macs, its what got brought up any time that somebody asked if they should buy a mac

"well ... uh... macs... are like ... only any good if you're into publishing ... and ah..... media and stuff.... they totally suck for everybody else"

Now of course, its cool to hate apple because they are popular. And those same people are criticizing the very people who have been using apple products for their work long before they became popular and trendy.

thats the thing though, a lot of cross platform software looks and works 99% the same. said it many times before that i could replace the mac pros and macbook pros in the design dept with equal or higher spec windows based boxes and they shouldnt know the difference in illustrator etc. itd save the company money and theyd lose all the little "quirks" integrating into our windows domain and other windows apps.

the fact they all hate windows (great justification) and the creative director is a complete fanboy (no exageration) means it will never happen.

that doesnt mean i hate apple (apart from a few little points, those horrid glossy screens for one), i own an ipod and im getting an ipad. also fully loaded mac pros are plain sex.
 
The point is if e had run with windows based system, no one would accuse him gay for Bill Gates so why call him a fanboy because he had Apple gear?

Money is irrelevant. For all you know, he could have gone for Apple because his accountant told him he has a big tax bill but he could spend it on some gear an write that off.

Or simply he is loaded in cash, the extra 10% over a windows system is worth it for him. Hell, he could be an aesthetic snob and loved the look of Apple Design and design alone.

Either way, it's his money. Using cost as a reason to go Windows is a reason I never get, who says he is on a budget anyway?

agreed. its a personal preference point if you can have the choice.
 
You get targeted if you like apple because your following this sheepish thing because they are so in the fashion at the moment.. Truth is they Look better than anything else out there (same reason I buy designer clothes, I like my clothes to look good, theres cheaper versions of those but I choose the premium)
Functionality is better than any alternative if you ask me? The applications are clean, easy and fast.

Reliable, secure! No ones mentioned that!
Universal across his other hardware!
Probably can see where Apples roadmap is heading for the future and likes it!
100 other simple reasons.

Cant help but get the feeling the PC users just feel so invaded and threatened that they have to lash out at every junction!
 
supporting both platforms i could pick that apart but i wont as its not the time or place.

fact is both platforms have their little quirks and both work equally well.

oh and both sets of users get equally as defensive as i think we've proved in this thread ;)
