Only since a month or so.
461 threads in both apple forums compared to 18.3 k in the windows ones, doesn't that explain the popularity of each?
What's an os that can't normally run games, why on earth would you spend over a thousand on a mac or whatever they cost and not be able to play crysis on it?

They look nice?

Apparantly...

Most of us either still have a PC or saw the light and changed over to Mac whilst being here.

We get more and more users switching. Strangely not many switch back...

I won't be switching as I like to upgrade my PC to the latest tech on a regular basis.

Plus I like to have kudos.

Not black baseball pumps with black denim jeans when i'm in my fortys!

I must admit that having both is a tad sad.

If the mac was true functional piece of hardware then one would not need another computer.

I have a PC and have no need for a MAC.

Mac users still have the need for a PC..

Get me now?

Well we dont live in a perfect world so we have to in other areas of life aswell have 2 things or have 1 thing and not the other, fortunatelly with computers we can have a choice lol and i choose to have a pc for gaming and overclocking and a mac for everything else

I have a PC for all my multimedia needs.

Thats the beauty of PC.

Its a personal computer.

What can your MAC do that my PC cannot?

Other than compute DATA slower?

Id bet my mac pro at work will compute quicker lol, it dosent do anything that yours cannot it just does them better quicker and more reliable, the whole point of most mac users arguments

What apps?

More reliable? In what way?

I test and torture my PC for ultimate stabilty.

I will glady run a bench to compare.

Non existent arguement again TBH

Without sitting you down in front of a mac and showing you no at almost 2am i am not going to expand better on a forum lol just would not work.

I think your mac feels fast due to your slow X2 home PC tbh.

I test and torture my pc aswell and its stable lol but my mac pro at work will still run programs like Photoshop, design and architect programs quicker, and any program that a mac can run that a pc can run id bet the mac would open and run them better

You are running a X2 @ 2.7ghz FFS

And that last bit clearly shows your lack of knowledge on the subject.

EDIT:

Link to your 8hrs prime stabilty shot of 3.6ghz?

In my Q6600 overclocking thread.

Thanks

BTW what work mac do you use lol?

Incidentally, it's interesting to see that on average Mac users are more intelligent and richer than Windows users. That probably explains Apple's marketing structure.

Oh please its this delusional elitism that got me starting this thread in the first place.

Thats what MAC users believe but its far from the case.

Bless you all MAC users...Made to believe you are all special when in reality you are all talking out your ****

Easyrider what is your issue with Apple Mac users? Seriously, your tone and manner has been offensive. Why do you feel the need to insult them the way you have done continually during this thread? Has a Mac user done something to you in the past?

I use a Mac. I am a IT Professional and I don't care one bit about fashion (ask my wife! ) I prefer OS X and Apple products over Windows. I have to use XP and Vista in my work environment and I don't like it. I find OS X does what I need and the 24" iMac next to me at work that the web designer uses has nevr crashed even whilst running almost all of the Final Cut Studio apps at the same time. I have had to re-install my PC numerous times during my work life.

Aha I hear the Windows fanbois shout. What about the games? Well I don't play games at work so on that front OS X wins because it is so much better to use (see use not tinker with) than Windows and the OS looks a hell of a lot better too. Vista looks like crap.

So I don't play games? Wrong, but I want to just play games and not have to mess around with settings so I have a couple of dedicated machines for playing games and they do this better than a PC as I can come home from work insert the disk and play away. No need to worry about frame rate, updates, driver comatability at all. A bit like using my MacBook - it just works!

Will the "MAC Haters" stop insulting Mac Users as we are not all gay, fashion obsessed, emptyheaded Starbucks users, you know? If you can form an argument without resulting to insults then you all must be 12 year olds.

Just saying something is "better" does not constitute and arguement.

And thats all I have have read from MAC users.

"my Mac is better"

What does that actually mean?

And saying Vista and XP are crap is is purely subjective.

Have you missed out the bits from other Mac users that say PC users are poorer,less intelligent etc...

If thats not offensive and complete and utter nonsense then I don't know what is.

Explain the better points to me please?
Rather than just saying its better.

Technical arguement with examples to back it please.

Thanks

You own a PC too.This seems to be a common trend among MAC users.They just can't quite let go.

This tells me something even more

I wondered when the insults would start to fly.

Its responces like this that reinforce my thinking.

If they were that much better then one would have no urge to own a PC imo.
