                Why is it always Mac v Windos? ._.

  • Spotlight - Spotlight in OS X is better than ANY search tool I've seen yet. It's REALLY fast, it's simple, it searches my whole hard drive, (unlike Vista's start menu search bar) it does math equations without the need for a separate application, and it gives me definitions WITH Wikipedia articles. These things I want and need. All of this is presented to you quickly.
Ubuntu too.

  • Help Search - As shown in this video, it's easy to find items in programs and folders. There's really not an easier or quicker way to do it. I'm certain I've spent at least a total of a fraction of a year trying to find things in Windows.
Yes.

  • Spaces - Spaces is a great way to multitask. When using Leopard, I found myself flipping from space to space, all without the need for minimizing Windows. This may not be something everyone would use, but I found it to be a useful feature.
Ubuntu has this too. Right now I have 2 desktops.

  • Time Machine - Backing up files has never been easier. A few times a month I delete a file that I should have saved, and wind up regretting it later. With Time Machine I can retrieve that file EASILY.
Yes.

  • Zoom - I have bad eyes, and I need to zoom every now and then.
Wel... I can make my windows invisible.  :mad:
EDIT- Holy shit, I can zoom... I didn't know that.

  • Quiet - The iMac had to be the most quiet computer I had ever used. My computer won't ever shut up, and I have to sleep with this thing on.
My PC is acutally really quit. The only time is starts getting noisy is when I'm playing games, and that's only after some time passes.

  • Looks - This isn't really a decider for me, but some of you are all "YEAH MAN I GOT A SUPER CASE WITH A WINDOW ON IT AND IT GLOWS BLUE AND IT'S PRETTY." Macs are, in my opinion, the most gorgeous computers on the market. 1 2 3

      Google toolbar is only in web browsers, and only works while connected to the internet. Mac OS X's Spotlight works regardless of your internet connection.

      Not every program has that, and it's MUCH quicker to use the built in program search. I mean, come on, it's always at the top of the screen. No need to launch an extra window. It also shows you exactly where it's located, for future reference.

      Give me some examples of these programs, and we'll determine if they're good or not. From what I've heard, they all suck. And most people don't have the money to blow for  multiple monitors

      I thought the entire point that anybody even still uses windows is the literally millions of programs and etc natively available for it. I know that's why I do, some of which programs let me customise my windows exactly how I want it =)

      I will be a bit baffled if somebody now comes in and points out that you can infact run windows on a mac. They even point it out in their advertising. It's easy enough nowadays to run OSX on a standard PC too. The OSx86 project has come a long way =o. I wonder why pretty much nobody bothers though? =)

      Maybe it's because people don't run Macs for the programs, but for the OS, its interface, and how easy it is to use.
      Same's true for the iPhone.

      Most programs are cross platform, anyway.


      But hey, as long as you don't hate the hardware, and just the fanboys, it's all okay, huh? =)

      Why? It makes a difference for me. You shouldn't have to add your own seasoning to a steak in a restaurant just to make it better, especially when you could just go to a better restaurant next door.

       the reason why it matters is that mac displays these features as NEW and COOL. when i can get them for windows or linux and they do the same thing. mac needs to find a way of advertising properly without rubbish like this. i want them to be able to show benifits not features.

      so this isn't valid in the mac vs pc argument because it doesnt matter the features listed are not new exciting or cool i can get them any time i want without changing to another operating system. to use your analogy of a steak. i dont expect to walk into a resturant promoting its "new cool exclusive sauce" and to be able to go make it at home or find it in a supermarket.


      @hei, i see your point here however perhaps some people dont realise just how customizeable windows and linux are. I can make my pc look like mac quite easily. Less technically minded people need some protection against shiny stuff that looks cool making them make a decision about a product that is required to do tasks. OSs are not art.

      And why can't OS's be art? Cars serve a purpose, too. They're made to transport us from place to place, and nothing else, really. So why do we make them look so damn beautiful?

      Is it so wrong to want the same for anything else you own?

      A watch is meant to tell time, and nothing else. Would you want an ugly watch, or a nice looking one?


      You may not agree with what that all stands for, but the fact is you've probably bought things based on looks before.

      true. but its bad if you base it only on its looks.

      eg. this watch has diamond and gold everywhere yet its hands are so heavy they cant move

      no im saying that its what draws a lot of people in.
