Mac commercials are so dumb, and saying vista is glichy! Well, I have been using vista for almost a year now and I haven't have anything seriously glichy happen.
Maybe that's the way you look at it, but for someone used to the latest version of Tiger (Leopard is very new, so most bugs wont be fixed for a while) Vista would be a mess.
Why do people think vista is so bad!?
Because XP is better and even than it still sucks when compared to OSX.
Most people own PC because they are most widely used
Correction: Most people own PC's because they are cheaper. Also, pretty much all major software companies have a Mac version or there's a better alternative that usually comes with the Mac and is exclusive to it. So Macs have as much software opportunity, excluding games.
and macs are not worth the price they are charging.
Considering the software, I'd have to disagree. Sure, you may have a desktop that is more powerful than an iMac. But what good is that hardware going to do you when the software is buggy, susceptible to attack, and does not work very well in conjunction with the hardware?
Think of having two bulldozers and they need to move a lot of earth. The first one is very large and powerful, however the driver is inexperienced, reckless, and generally incompetent. The second bulldozer is only medium in size and has less horse power, but the driver is experienced, diligent, and has a knack for operating his machine. The operator of the first bulldozer is much more likely to make an error in the work or simply destroy his machine due to his recklessness and thus, take an unnecessary amount of time to do the job. While the one using the less powerful bulldozer will just get the task done faster because he had the talent to operate the hardware and make the best of it.
Remember macs are the ones who thought people would like using a mouse with one button!
So you're suggesting the actual computers themselves thought of this?! Amusing errors aside, does this really matter? Sure, if you came straight from operating a PC for a good deal of time, it could take some getting used to. However, in the end you come to get used to holding the button down for a second or using the above tool bar. The only reason Apple did the two button mouse thing was because they wanted to get PC users (who are discontent with their current machines) to Apple products. Does this mean any method is better though? No.

I just like the fact that Macfags boast about being able to use Windows on their Macs.
Way to defeat the purpose, guys.
PC users often boast the sheer power of PC's and how Macs pale in comparison. However, PC's cannot run OSX natively and the emulation is extremely slow. Ironically, mac users can run Windows perfectly. Besides, Apple want people switching from Windows to feel more welcome to the computer and thus they allowed for those people to stretch to their PC roots if needed
Also, I love how you refer to people who simply use the computer as "Macfags". If you must resort to calling anyone who uses the computer you detest so much a homosexual, please don't bother to engage in any argument seeing as you only have insults to strengthen it.
