Ok I said I was done but I lied lol. Listen you little 16 year old Microsoft fanboy.

Just because you don't like Apple doesn't mean you need to make up stuff about it. Macs are not about being cool or chic, and definitely not "for faggots" like you put it. Apple just makes good products all around and the stats show it.

Apple trumps competition in customer satisfaction.

So deal with it.

I gave Windows it's dues, Linux too. It's all kind of a niche market. You're just a little 16 year old fanboy that can't recognize they're all good in some ways.

Wow, so much for ending it? Face it, Mac hardware is overpriced, and there is nothing that Mac can do that Windows can do equally or better.

And yes I'm 16, what the fuck does that have to do anything? And Microsoft fanboy? Because I like Windows best? Are you an Applefanboy for using Macs?

Also, if Macs triumph then how come Windows has 90% of the market share? What a fucking triumph.

And if you're so much older and mature, why are you arguing with a "16 year old Microsoft fanboy"?

That's a long story. In short, DirectX helped them conquer the gaming market, and in the process the home PC market.

The lack of games for Mac has nothing to do with compatibility. It's the developers choice not to port some games because Windows has the majority.

And if you're so much older and mature, why are you arguing with a "16 year old Microsoft fanboy"?

I'm not arguing, I'm just clearing your bullshit about OS X. You are about as mature as an 8 year old it sounds like considering you're the one calling Mac users "faggots" after I specifically said not to let this become a OS flame war.

I'm not a "Apple fanboy". I just use what works best for me. I like Linux too. The whole point of this thread was to encourage the OP to explore different OS's anyways.

So stfu about Mac. Were you touched inappropriately by one when you were little or something? You seem to have a deep seated hatred for Mac and no actual facts to back up what you say about it.

So you're saying the only reason that Microsoft has 90% of the market share is because of games?

Not just games, there's a lot of software that is Windows only.

You are arguing. >.< And I think you came back with a comment after I said this

Really? You have no ammunition for argument so you're gonna make jokes about molestation? And how old are you did you say?

Macs have overpriced hardware, and I don't like the OS. Now some people might like the OS I guess, but no one can deny that the hardware is overpriced. You'd be better off buying a windows computer and putting Mac OS on it.

I use it on my laptop as my main OS, primarily because it doesn't take up a lot of space and my computer is not good enough to play games anyway. When I get a desktop I'll get Vista and partition some space for Ubuntu. Vista will only be used for gaming.

I don't know if anybody has mentioned it before, but instead of Ubuntu, get Linux Mint. And keep it as a secondary OS, dual boot it so you still have windows. If you don't know what dual booting is or how to do it, you're not going to understand Linux and you should stick with Windows.

nope, not more stable than mac or windows, ubuntu crashed from pressing the logout button, reinstall.
ubuntu crashed from update, reinstall...
and many more reinstalls later I realized it sucked
linux doesnt have viruses because of the way its built btw, not because there are not much users

Finally, some objectivity. The hardware being overpriced is your personal opinion. Most would say that Macs have higher resale value, and the benefits of having a single warranty, the AMERICAN tech support (which is my opinion). To someone who wants all these things a little extra $ might seem worth it.

You overexagerate the pricing.

Plus look at the new Macbooks, the body is milled from a solid piece of aircraft aluminum. That's good engineering that I haven't seen in other laptop manufacturers.

For people that don't care about those things, maybe it's overpriced to them.

:Really? You have no ammunition for argument so you're gonna make jokes about molestation? And how old are you did you say?

All the ammunition I need to deal with a MS fanboy spreading BS about Mac OS. It was a joke, ease up fanboy.
:Lets just stop this from becoming a flame war and be adults about this. OS choice is a personal thing based on the user's experience. And while no one OS is perfect, there are differen't OS for different people.

And for the record, I tried to end it first but you kept it going. So don't try to act like your any better fanboy. Any of these OS are really only as good as the user anyways.

I have a friend that uses Windows because he's addicted to gaming but he's a smart user so it works fine for him, sorta like it does you I guess.

I don't like waiting 3 min for a Start Menu to open so I can spend my time run Virus & Spyware scans. Plus a lot of programs I use work better on Mac or are only for Mac.
