i dont have any problem with my windows pc as of now. it does suck when it gets infected with spyware and all that garbage. i reinstalled windows and went out and bought a spyware program and now its fine.

You know, you shouldn't REALLY have to do that. You really shouldn't even have to defragment your hard drive, either, but people have gotten used to low qulity software. At least I know what i use is better.

Well according to me Windows Machine will be a better choice!

I think I will be one of those few people on the internet who will say that so bravely

The reason I am saying is this that I know how to use Windows...I am very comfortable with that...I know how to keep my windows clean with spywares and viruses.

I remeber that it's been only 2 times that my computer got infected with a virus or a spyware! :shocking: isnt it.

I am saying all this...because most people fear of these things only...crashing and all...your computer will crash if you'll install all kind of useless softwares.

Now as your need is so less then I think you must go for a windows machine...because I am sure you must have used a windows machine more than a mac based machine. So, go for comfort.

You may be running here and there to get it fixed...if at all it gets bad..but for windows you will get 10 advices right over here in this forum!

I hope I have made my point clear If anybody has any question..you are free to ask it.

wow, that's a really bold move there

anyways, it's rare to see a machine running Windows with only 2 hits of viruses/spywares.

Hi have used a windows pc for years at both home and work and then i tried my flat mates mac a year ago and went out and purchased a mac book and haven't turned back since !! Every thing you listed above is exactly what i was after in a mac and it does them all. I did get the intel based mac book to run those windows specific programs on a dual boot setup for work development.


You can get mac office to make sure all your current windows documents are compatible even though macs i'Work still works fine.

Oh and plus they look way cooler !!

I have to hand to Apple now with the Mactels. I still do some consulting in the summers while I'm in grad school at a video production company that was 100% mac, and they still are 100% PPC on the editing side because the Protools aren't in universal binaries yet. However, the office just switched to shinny new iMacs and we also bought a couple copies of XP pro to turn the machines into Dual boot to install our lone copy of Premiere Pro. (Sometimes we get projects in Premiere and need to do some work to get them into Final Cut for our production line).

We used to keep a couple HP's on hand just for Windows when we needed it, but now they've been given to a couple employe's for their kids. (2.4Ghz P4 with 2GB of ram, good gaming machine for $100...)

I'm still on a PPC 1.25 Ghz G4 Powerbook with 2GB of ram because I do some video editing still on a limited basis (I create video biographies for people to earn $$$ during grad school and because I enjoy hearing other people's story, especially the last of the WWII vets that will soon be gone.)

Anyway, I plan to get a new Macbook pro next summer and hopefully that will be it until I finish with my PhD around 2011...hopefully.

I would still like Apple to consider to add a PPC or Intel option when choosing the Mac, 'cuz I love the PPC architecture, it's fast and runs on less power.
