the eternal question that has been answered millions of times
 It really depends on what your doing in terms of using the computer. Mac has all your video editing, sound editing, picture editing while windows has most of the market and runs the majority of the software on the market - so in other words windows is just good for anything you can't do on a mac! Personally, I can't decide, they both have their upsides, and both have their downsides!
Also, I would say that it depends from the amount of money you have, the Mac is rather more expensive than a PC. And, I'm pretty sure that, for the same amount of money as for buying a mac, you could buy a PC with the professional softwares for doing the same things than on a mac.
For instance, my brother uses his Mac only for Microsoft Word, I'm sure he could do this on a PC.
Windows! It's used by the most people in the world. And what's more, Windows is easier to use and understand. The skin of windows is also quite beautiful!
I dunno. MacOS looks great, is rather easy to use, but it does lack the amount of freeware that is available for windows. If only Apple didn't remove the maxxus patch so we pc users could run MacOS too
(even if it were to try it out before buying one of those ridiculous expensive macbooks)
Mac OS is a good OS for beginners, but to be honest, it's TOO easy and unchallenging. It's not as popular as windows, nor linux I think. Windows is not a great OS, but it allows far more programming and isn't going to jump out with "Would like to know how to go to a program" or sorts. At least, not in XP or previous versions. Vista, I'm not sure about.
Sure, you can probably train a monkey to use a Mac better than they would be able to use a windows machine, but it all comes down to preference. One of the benefits of owning a Mac is that 'it just works'. Everything is designed to run perfectly, or near perfectly, and in sync with each other. Hardware and software are very compatible, which is hard to accomplish on a PC when so many people manufacture different machines that can run the same OS (Windows). I guess that since Apple makes both the hardware and the operating system, I'll go with a Mac. The software is great for audio and video tasks, and I've been noticing a lot of new games popping up for the Mac. If you go on their website, you can get Guitar Hero 3 from there, along with other pretty cool games that you may have though would have been only for the PC or gaming consoles. That being said, I am using a windows machine right now because it's rather expensive to acquire a Mac. Best, Trinifawk

Its rather expensive to maintain Mac as you would need to buy most of the software. But of course you like the slick of iBook, and the cool software, Mac will be the choice. However I would still choose Windows as I'm used to using some Open Source software that doesn't comes with Mac. Just some personal view. Cheers
OS X can run X11 apps just fine. Any open source apps you have can be compiled and run on a mac...I don't see what you're talking about with having to buy alot of software... I switched from Windows/Linux to Mac OS X because I can do all of it without switching operating systems to have a POSIX layer underneath my OS.
mac for sure! it looks nicer and i love the newest mac. its just the screen, keyboard and the mouse without the dome!
macs are really nice. ive never actually owned one but ive used them before (ive even used the really old ones when they were crap compared to windows). Latest Entries
The Edu-Uk store is the other half of the student stuff, though its only 8% discount.
Is it worth trying that procureweb thing at college (your high-school)? QUOTE(toby @ Aug 31 2008, 06:50 PM) I'm looking to get a laptop, hopefully Mac. The cheapest I can find is £656 on Apple Edu-UK, Amazon is 696. Should I bother looking for cheaper? Are you at uni? If yes (or you have a mate at uni) get them to log on through the campus internet and buy it that way. You'll save money by using the student discount.
Well, 656 pounds equals to CAD$1,267 and the second lowest priced Macbook is CAD$1299 (before taxes) so I guess it's a good deal.
