Ok aside from that being completely incoherrent I ask again what the hell do you people do that reqires such unbelievable processor power. They animate tv shows and movies on MACS under tight time deadlines with heavier processor requirements than most of you can conceive of using.

The thing about Viruses, forget about that mith, might have been true once but not anymore, MAC will get viruses, they are not invisable machines and their code is not written by an imortal.Ok I'm not even going to bother with the poor spelling and poor grammar anymore, its everywhere. How is it a myth if your own statement implies that mac viral infections are coming in the FUTURE. PC's are a greater target for viruses and will always be, in the future viruses will diminish as operating systems become designed to internally thwart virus attacks. This will apply to all, by the way, in the mean time you are still way safer with a MAC, FACT

Software cabailities, big issue. You wont find out how big the issue is untill you get the MAC. Even simple software that you would think is universal is not there for MAC. I had a MAC about a year ago, for about 2 months, and gave it away as a present cauze it sucked so much, couldnt get any software for it, that i needed, only some gay video software. What kind of ghey software were you looking for? a meatspin screen saver? You're going to need to elaborate. You might have an easier time finding the software you need if you took your head out of your ass.

I did like their user interface, but Vista is matching that rite now. Donno how much vista is an improvement over XP but so far it seems like alot. There will be patches and things coming out probably to fix small things, just like in a first year model car/truck. Funny when apple releases a new version of OS people race to embrace it when windows does they cringe. You've already admitted that XP needed improvement and that vista will be full of bugs, oh boy I can't wait to run out and put that junk in my computer.

My school just upgraded 7 of the 30 some laboratories to Vista and they are booked all the time, the XP labs and the 4-5 MAC labs are almost empty. I used Vista several days ago, and it is much faster at loading programs compared to XP, it looks better, and apperantly it is safer (for some). Viruses are nothing to worry about if you know how to protect yourself. On my other computer I have absolutely no antivisrus or antispyware program installed and have not received a virus ever. (I do an internet scan once in a while so that I know).You're fine use of the english language and your exemplary spelling suggest that we should not be impressed by the decisions made at your school.

So my advise is if you have used windows, get a Vista Premium computer and enjoy, you wont be dissapointed. Im looking at some HPs rite now cauze im palnning on buyng too, and they are awsome.

You have fun with that

hey, thanks for the grammar and spelling check, but you got most of what I was trying to say. This time im going to do my best to keeps things spelled rightand as simple as possible, although i gaurantee nothing. Didn't realize this was a spelling contest.

I'll just start from you first point, comment on it and go from there.

The only processor demanding work that I have known a mac to do is movie processing. Im not saying thats an easy job, not at all, but come on, it sure as hell isn't the hardest. I have not seen a mac do laboratory simulations/analysis of even the simplest crap. Someone posted a screen of a mac with all kinds of programs opened, that was pointless. Having windows open does not require more power than my ti-89 has. Why dont you try having the autocad software do a rendering of a 40 mb drawing, and have the other programs do stuff at the same time, it ain't gona happen no matter how much you wish it. A PC wont do it either, I just wanted to point out that having programs loaded into memory means jack.

Ok, again with the spelling, what are you a 50 year old grade school teacher? My statement was "The thing about Viruses, forget about that mith, might have been true once but not anymore, MAC will get viruses, they are not invisable machines and their code is not written by an imortal." How hard is that to understand, are your retarded? It says that macs are not safe anymore, so if you get a mac it can very easily get a virus, its not invisible. Get it? Dont try to read between the line, theres nothing there, and your too stupid to do that anyways. Although I do agree that macs are still safer than pcs.

Again you have a problem with reading comprehension. "couldnt get any software for it, that i needed, only some gay video software." This says that i couldnt get any software for it that i needed, only found useless gay video software, by which i meant video editing software; but for some reason your mind goes to meatspin, whats up with that? BTW, my head has been out of my ass for a long time now, thanks for the suggestion though. Many fluid and thermo simulation software is not available for the mac, and dont even talk about gaming, pathetic. I was saying that there isn't software that I needed, not software that your meatspin loving self needs.

Definately, XP needs improvements and thats what vista is for. I said that Vista will have bugs, not that it will be full of bugs. And OS X needs improvements too, so dont flatter yourself. Every new piece of software has bugs. If it doesnt, all that means is that the company wont admit to any flaws and their software is out there with bugs. It is impossible to have an OS (thousands and thousands of lines of code) that has no bugs, absolutely impossible. if you say otherwise theres something wrong with you.

Oh, and you should be impressed with my university. Im not involved with much writing, so my abilities are sufficient for what i do. Your comprehension skills seem to be on par with my spelling and grammar skills, and thats a problem in any field of work.

Check every university in the entire nation, if you find one running more macs than pc, come back here, post and I will say that you are the man, and I will go purchase a mac. Im talking about real, accredited universities that do reasearch, preferably a tech school, no antsi pantsy art or video editing school. Check the Association of Independent Technological Universities, top tech/research schools in the nation, mine is one of them, and no mac superiority there.

So thanks for the spelling and grammar lessons, and dont be so sensitive, macs arent that bad, just not as good as pcs. And I did not use spell check, I wrote carefully, which was an absolute waste of time.

ssgharkness020147, which way you leaning so far, or did you already make a purchase? good luck with your shopping.

Sorry for the ridiculously long post everyone.
