he didn't say it's hard to learn. he said it's hardER.
personally, i'm not a big fan of mac because it's harder to find free (legal or not) software for mac. + mac is more expensive. + i'm a programmer, so it's better to program software for windows (more potential users) than for mac i think. |

if you want free software.... well i do i even have to say it ? (linux !)
the older versions of Mac (OS9 and older) were not too good... but OSX is FreeBSD with a customised GUI. and i dont think you will ever find anyone (not even the most devoted Bill Gates Fanatic) will claim anything is more sttable than FreeBSD. on the Top 50 uptimes of webservers FreeBSD takes the Top 47 (last time i looked) |

I shamefully admit that I have never used a Mac. Strange as it may sound, I believe there is not a single Mac in our university.

I have to ask, why wasn't Linux a choice in your question? It is a very valid Operating System and can be substituted for Windows or Mac. I recently reformatted my hard drive, getting rid of Windows XP (which I think is much better than a Mac) in place of Suse 9.1. I love having Linux. It is fast, secure, stable and great for developing software and setting up web servers, stuff I need to do for my school and want to do on my own.

QUOTE(jtakano @ Oct 3 2004, 06:04 PM) Mac Pro: Best for photo designers and video editing; more secure than win; faster Cons: very expensive; very few softwares available Windows Pro: Many softwares; cheaper; customizable Cons: Not so secure; easier to crash; interface is harder to learn than Mac Me? I use both. I haven't used a Mac but from what i've heard from friends, people who use Mac and from reading articles and reviews, what jtakano said is true. Mac is a good machine when you want to use it for photo & video editing, desktop publishing, etc. My friend who's in this kind of business is using a Mac but at home, he uses Windows. Mac softwares are expensive and hard to find. With Windows, you have to sacrifice with the security, stability & performance in exchange for the softwares you can use with it.

I like Windows better than MAC although both of them are ok to use.
You can find my reason on some of my posts why I like Windows than some OSs, not in all aspects though, Linux is better when used as a server(only my opinion).

My first mac was a REALLLLY old Apple II, which only had a keyboard and floppy drive!!! From the stone age of computers. But then Windows came out and every computer I had was with windows. Windows always bugged me because it was so easy to get viruses, and it crashed alot on me. I remember it would always freeze up on me. So last year I got fed up with windows and bought a mac G4 laptop, and I love it! I've had no problems with it at all. I really don't consider the software issue a problem with my mac. Sure, you cannot find certain programs that are on windows, but that doesn't bother me. Macs all the way baby!!!

I really don't know, as I have stated before, there all UNIX!!!
Mac was a flavor of UNIX, and Windows is from Mac... But Mac is better off, with multimedia editing, and business...
