There are only 3 reasons to use a mac:4. Macs can run windows XP or Vista through partitioning the hard drive, so there's virtually no downside to spending a little extra to get a mac, now. The dual boot software comes standard with the new OS.
1. Video production
2. Music production
3. College students who think macs are awesome because they look cool and find those mac vs. PC ads on TV funny.

Just hold down the ALT key when booting up and it'll ask you which OS to boot up in.
But hey, I have one because I fall into 1 and 2 anyway, lol.
Okay.Now you made me desperate to get a Mac. >:(
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
A few reasons:
- 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.
- Help Search - As shown in this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggoTQqNXOQs) 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.
- Spaces - Spaces (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/spaces.html) 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.
- 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.
- Zoom - I have bad eyes, and I need to zoom every now and then.
- 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.

The speed is on how much ram you have and what your processor is clocking at. Mac users just seem to be lazier than any other OS user.

That doesn't back up files, it just backs up all of your system files and programs. With time machine I can back up single files without restarting.

Because we all want big sidebars for zooming, right? In OS X you can zoom the whole screen in and out. That's just a seperate sidebar, window that displays everything near the mouse, but zoomed in. OS X's is much more useable.

Not quite the same thing, since Mac's search features search help files from other programs, too. It also searches menus, and lots of other things not included in the "all files and folders" category.
Basically, windows can only search for physical files and objects, Macs search for words anywhere and categorizes them and make them easy to browse through (which we all know windows doesn't do, because when you search for all files and folders it just blindly throws them into the windows as it finds them.)
And just because Windows takes extra and unnecessary work doesn't make Mac users lazy.
It makes Windows users have to do extra and unnecessary work.
It's a computer. It's supposed to make things easier for you. That's why we buy them.
That's an INCREDIBLY weak argument for something that's just more convenient.
If you actually bought a Windows machine because you knew it would be more cumbersome and difficult to use, I'd say YOU were retarded.
I don't know about Blackbox. I doubt many others do, either.
Spaces comes with the OS, without any extra downloading or searching obscure internet forums (like this one) to find out about it.
Oh, and you can turn it off if you don't like it.
You don't understand. Restore point on Windows is for system settings. It says right in the screenshot you posted that it deals with registry settings and technical junk like that.
Time Machine lets you go back and restore deleted files and documents.
You should at least understand the argument before trying to jump in.
And so does Mac. !_!
Nobody has to build a quiet Mac. They're all quiet. Just buy one. Hey, it's quiet.
And here's where you ran out of arguments.
Look, dude, if you don't like Apples, then don't buy them. I'm here defending Apples while I'm posting on my mom's Dell. I use both, and admit some handle certain things better than others, but that's no reason to just blindly hate on the system.

You don't need calculator on OS X, all you have to do is type it in the spotlight bar, and you instantly get results. It's quicker and more simple.
Yes it does search your whole hard drive, there is nothing else to search!
Anything that you can't find in a program can be found with a simple search bar at the top. There's no need to provide more examples, because it's the same for every program.It's faster than having to search through every sub-menu to find a render in Photoshop. I guess only retarded people want to get things done faster?
I don't use Photoshop, so if you could give me a more applicable example I might be more inclined to believe you.
If I deleted a text file I could restore to yesterday and get it back? If I can, I'd lose any programs I installed or settings I changed. :|That doesn't back up files, it just backs up all of your system files and programs. With time machine I can back up single files without restarting.
It does back up all your files. @_@
Which results in the equivalent of a video I can't interact with.Because we all want big sidebars for zooming, right? In OS X you can zoom the whole screen in and out. That's just a seperate sidebar, window that displays everything near the mouse, but zoomed in. OS X's is much more useable.
I'm sorry you are blind, you can expand the zoom to the whole screen.
But you KNOW these are quiet before you buy them.
Most computers are quiet, i'd imagine that you could just spend about 5 to 10 dollars buying a new fan incase one starts screeching.But Macs are MORE quiet.

Yes, watch the video.Anything that you can't find in a program can be found with a simple search bar at the top. There's no need to provide more examples, because it's the same for every program.
You're not being very clear, what exactly does it search for? Does it go through each tab and find where it is labeled what you searched for?
You have to admit, OS X's zoom functionality is far more usable than Window's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3xHHKc9dFAWhich results in the equivalent of a video I can't interact with.
So it takes about 3 more seconds to reopen the magnifying window and set the zoom level, jeeze. It's not like you can't do anything in the zoom window.
And I couldn't hear the iMac at all. D:<But Macs are MORE quiet.
... I can't hear my computer at ALL, and it has 5 fans running at medium speed.
Well folks, it seems that OSX and Windows have their differences, obviously.Oh stop acting like you're doing a service, this is a fucking THREAD MADE for talking about MACS. That's why Irock is talking about Macs, here. He could have easily made his post somewhere else, or in a new thread, and then you would actually have a point. But he didn't. He posted it HERE, in a thread ABOUT MACS. In no other thread ANYWHERE have I seen Irock talk about Macs, and he didn't even make THIS thread!
Some people find OSX to be easier to use, and that their userbase is generally die hard. :V
Some people find Windows better to handle technically and to program on.
Sorry for looking stupid, but I mostly argue about Macs because I like getting Irock to argue back, aka basic trolling 101. I don't want to hear about them every other post Irock. We know you're getting a Mac, we don't need you to tell us every feature when they are clearly displayed every (http://) other (http://www.apple.com/mac/) turn. (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,27590.msg351980.html#msg351980)
I don't like the shitty marketing. The number of times that small advances are proclaimed as "revolutionary" or "breakthrough", and countless mac-addicts fall for it and sink another $1,000 on a minor product refresh. I guess I don't like seeing so much money going to waste or people being so mindless.I'm not a fan of their prices, their marketing, or the majority of their fanbase either, but I simply enjoyed their product. I don't care if my Mac isn't "cool" anymore. I just want the best experience possible.
Take my PC, I have a 6 year old CPU, 5 year old graphics card. I just stepped up its performance quite cheaply by taking out the CPU and dropping a significantly faster one in, I took out my budget card and put a more powerful one in, and I bought another gig of memory. Total cost? Like $60. You could get away with the memory I guess, can you even change that in in imac? I could bring this up to somewhat modern standards for gaming by putting a radeon 19xx AGP card in here, which I could find for like $40 nowadays or something silly. You want more from your mac? you have to buy a new one. I know you could simply continue using your old one, but all the apple users you ever see are the ones who have become brand loyalists who wouldn't want to be seen dead with an outdated one. That'd be so untrendy, man.
The point is each mac or apple product is made obsolete usually in under even just a single year. Almost all of their drones really do buy the new shit each and every time an ever-so-slightly improved, yet touted as revolutionary breakthrougyness new version comes out. Go see how many first gen iphones are for sale, now that the second gen iphone is out.
Mentioning the iphone and coming back to the marketing, the initial payment is hardly the defining cost of a (contract only) phone, and over the course of the contract, the new 3G iphone is not cheaper than the first one, nor even equal, it ends up more expensive.
As for OSX Vs Windows, I like my windows and I'm used to it, and (honestly, with not much effort) it's easy for me to get my XP install to look, act, function and feel exactly how I want it to. Which I have done. If I had to use a mac, I think I'd spent almost all of my time running XP on it.
If it ever happens, I'm interested in what'll happen when apple is no longer the hipster "oh I'm so different from everyone else" option, and they become mainstream.

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.

Quotelinux by default has this and windows has so many addons that can do it. with my pc its built into the hardware i have two monitor ports i plug in another monitor and i get dual screen in other words 2 "spaces"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

irock you did. when you bought a macI never bought a mac.
you installed those programs.These features are pre-installed on a mac, and I KNOW they work correctly. I know they aren't going to eat all of my CPU, or suck.
ive provided you the links thats the hard part :D.It's a hastle, all for programs I don't even know will work right.
dont complain about stuff not being built in.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.
steak in a restaurantYou just broke a Texan's heart Irock ;9

I meant to say modern operating systems are lame.That's so incredibly hideous.

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?Yeah... have ever looked at vista? its "looks" better than XP. I mean but what you mean by a car needs to look nice. People take more time to make it perform better. Vista is the car with old, used, and dysfunctional
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.
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.I don't give a damn how they advertise, but their products just WORK. All of these features are tied together. The steak is cooked the right way, it's been properly seasoned, it has the right sauce, and it tastes delicious. Sure, it may not be delicious to everyone, but we all have different taste. You may prefer the steak next door. But if you're next door trying to make their steak taste like the steak you prefer, isn't it time to just walk over to the other restaurant? It's never going to be as good as the original, and it's going to be messy.
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.It's not going to be the same sauce. Sure, it may have some of the same ingredients, but it's a different brand.
I never had the blue screen or illegal operation problems with XP. Same goes with Vista. The only time that theirs a problem if everything stop working. Macs we know "don't crash" but if it happens there way to prepare. They should install a real turn off button. The thing about Macs is they also don't have a know virus.Macs do have physical turn off buttons, what the hell are you talking about?
Linux also doesn't have viruses. Making that a target for apple. Anti-virus or other protection software is
paranoid. Or just windows itself. My schools computer are run down by so many firewalls its not even funny.
A problem i see with macs is i don't know anybody with a mac. So my source of how a mac runs is at school.
There macs run like crap. So that my opinion about macs. There better than that. Or are they really slow?

Also, OSX does have the equivalent to ctrl+alt+delete, where you can force quit unresponsive programs.
My Mac is very fast.

i've only noticed that in this debate were comparing Mac OSX and Windows Operating systems.
That's the reason they run slow.
hei is talking sense :D!To run the software you need good hardware. The key of this debate was rather AppleFags should shut up
are there any performance graphs?
irock advertising and the attitude towards their advertising by apple is annoying. your also still missing the point about macs built in software. your buying into a set of features that you can get elsewhere for free or for very cheap.
if i want a handful of grass do i pay someone to do it or just go pick it myself
I tried downloading Blackbox, and it asked me if I wanted to replace my default shell.
I got scared and said no.
hei is talking sense :D!PCs/Windows cost money too.

Again, sorry for looking retarded. I guess I didn't like using OSX because I was too used to windows. I didn't notice that much of a difference in simplicity or it being easier to use, I mean it does have more features but I didn't find myself using most of them.Right, but we all have different taste.
I had to use OSX for about 2 months last year, the laptop died and I had to use my brothers.

Also, did you use Tiger or Leopard or a version older than that? ;x
Yes Windows cost money. But a lot less than a New Mac.hei is talking sense :D!PCs/Windows cost money too.

And you're not getting that it won't be the same.
This debate isn't about which is better, it's about which is better for some people, which is completely stupid. Someone who hates Macs, especially the ones that have never used one, can never accept that it's impossible to match the Mac experience. If you think you can turn Windows into Leopard, try it. I'd like to see how that turns out, because it isn't going to be even close.
Once again IT ISN'T ABOUT WHICH IS BETTER< BECAUSE THAT'S A DEBATE NEITHER SIDE IS GOING TO WIN. It depends on which works better for YOU. You should stick to Linux since you can't figure out how to open calculator.Yes Windows cost money. But a lot less than a New Mac.hei is talking sense :D!PCs/Windows cost money too.

The Mac is not easier to use. If the debate is about the what people like and people don't like. Then why do you judge that mac is still better. You need to think about what you like about the Mac and what could they improve. You shouldn't type whats good about the mac and bad about windows. Window Vista is flawed but also think about what could be flawed about Mac OSX leopard. The experience is little different
according to my experience, i couldn't find the calculator on the emac.
Move the mouse into the lower left hand corner. OH THERE IT IS.Oh, there's also a full calculator on the Mac.
Is that really any more difficult that start -> applications -> accessories -> system tools or whatever the hell it is?

Okay, I tried this blackbox thing.
I opened TabIt. Then I clicked the tiny button to switch over the beta. Now Tabit's in Beta...?
I switched over the Gamma. TabIt's still up.
I switched over the Delta. TabIt's still up.
I switched over to alpha again. TabIt vanishes.
It's not in Beta. It's not in Gamma. Oh, it ... stayed in Delta?
NO! Because when I click it, it disappears!
... I click the bar at the bottom and it pops back up. I click on the window POOF gone again.
What the hell?
It took me like 20 seconds to figure out how to close it. Plus my desktop icons are background image are gone...
And how do you turn it off?

At school, they had some mac laptops. When they crashed (Lol macs never crash. :V ) pushing the power button wouldn't do anything. To restart them, we would have to open the case and remove the battery. ~_~

omg yay :D. ive seen methods and heard stories about howeasy it is to copy software from a mac. this woman on a tv program strapped a removeable hard drive to her side passed the cable down her side and out her sleeve.Now I'm tempted to do it. ;8
she walked into the mac store plugged in her usb and dragged the programs over
dont they put security on these things?
I like blue
I like blue
Red is far more better, moron
Red is for faggots who like everything to look good but get nothing done. Blue can be used in a variety of themes while red can only exclaim violence or anger. Enjoy being pissed at your choice in color all the time redfag.
Only grade school kids and retards like Red. Blue is customizable to a variety of shades and hues and can go in virtually any painting. Blue is obviously for us intellectuals

We have PINK.
What, those aren't even primary. At least pick Yellow, like some civilized people.
I like white.
