One thing PC users can do that Mac users can't

I can't use mac without making own scripts!?! Oh fuck dude, I'm a computer retard, and definitely not a programmer.

Sounds like Mac isn't for me. I wanted an easy experience.

Let's write a little story script about how sarcasm gets overlooked. I use a Mac and love it. I don't however indulge script writing. I prefer to do things manually. I also prefer to drive a standard transmission over an automatic. Maybe it's not PCs that are so inefficient. Maybe it's all about the software. I know many PC users that swear by an alternate OS. I think Windows and Microsoft are the real target of the Apple ads. I think if Apple were to write OS X for a PC, they might sell a lot less computers.

Filevault? Dude, I can have encryption programs to my PC too. And yes, I can have AES encryption.

As a matter of fact, I have few of my partitions encrypted at the moment.

Filevault is way more than simple encryption and AES.

Get a clue!

I think one more subject besides religion and politics should be banned from the boards

Hey, wait a second... Can macs run windows? Why yes, yes they can. What can't PCs do? Oh yeah, run OSX. (Hacked versions, I meant... Legally.)

well...all i can say is...why would people create viruses for Macs...it'd effect such a small portion of the world...

So is my software.

Understand the issue!

you dont have to write any script. I just find that if I do something more than a few times a week why not automate it? it is not for everyone.

On topic, did anyone find the article funny?

PT cruiser? Dude, that's the worst joke ever. And so is the car.

I found the article funny, purely because i find it funny how windows users get worked up over the subject

i think both OS's are good... but having used mac OS for only 6-7 months now i already find it better than windows, and they really are prettier

oh and macs are great

Depends on your needs... Good opportunity to post these though...

I don't care which system a person uses but when people try and justify their "transition" or "decision" based on those PC & Mac Commercials (which is a very good campaig and is funny, don't get me wrong) and not on making an informed choice then it is freaking annoying... On of my girl's friends called her and asked her to see if I would help her with Boot Camp and I told her no because if she was bitching about her PC for months and kept saying she wanted to get a Mac and the first thing she does when she gets it is try and run XP... irony hahah

@ Ascaris, where did i say the world is around windows and mac? I use both, like em both, just prefer mac OS.

Why wouldnt ya help? I dont see how she'd need help, it does it all for ya, but i dont see ya reasoning. Bootcamp is a facility of mac OS... why not use it?

If windows offered a program to help install mac OS in the same manner, you wouldnt use it?

At least apple realised people would try to install windows on an intel machine, so they offered a program to do it safely and easily. I could never see mr gates offering such a service. I think it shows the confidence apple have in their product, to offer an alternative.

Oh and macs are great

so are PT Cruisers

did i mention macs are great?

I love my mac, it allows me to flash passers by from the security of my park bench
