You fucking robot Sporty...
Give Microsoft a few months and they'll have ripped off Panther anyway, just like all the rest of the Apple OS. And badly.
Oh dear, I feel the nature of this thread turning...

MY POO IS BIGGER than yours
- whiteSneaks0
i doubt that. my poo is quite large and i may start throwing it if i have to.

I know there is pc users out there that might try it..
why not?you still get to use that nasty box, but with a better more stable OS,
what can be so bad about that huh?:)

the os is my main problem with apple. i use a pc by choice. for a third of the price i get everything i need and then some. XP is a very stable platform security is an issue because of the hordes of people who work at attacking it. if apple held more than a tiny chunk of the market they would have security issues also.
just my thoughts

and my dell (yes thats right) box is an excellent design that is easier to open and upgrade than anything i have ever seen.
the exterior leaves a little to desire but two thousand dollars for cosmetics will never fly with me or the majority of computer users

"if apple held more than a tiny chunk of the market they would have security issues also."
not really.
linux holds a large market in servers and their exploits are nowhere as devastating as windows'. microsoft is the problem.

but I still rated the first one hahaha

i am talking desktops. i don't have the know how to talk much on server software. from what i hear i wouldn't use MS in that area. not running a mac either though.

Very true. Microsoft isn't exactly famous for it's security. To be honest, it sucks. Big time.
That would be my main reason to switch.

i dont even know why i am getting into it. it's all silly. i just get so tired of reading post after post about the superiority of apple and the evils of MS. christ open your eyes.

It's quality not quantity. You guys should look at macs the way you praise your own work. You guys get pissed when someone comes along and templates websites and does poor design for cheap. That is how we mac users feel about our machines. Sure you can go out and spend $300.00 at gateway for a 2.2 GHz Celeron, by why would you when you could buy a piece of art that you can work on.
Just my view on things. I am sure some will disagree. I bought a PC laptop for one purpose...
Testing! And to resort to when my mac doesn't feel like putting up with my shit. Other then that it just sits there looking cute and all laptoppy.
OS X for PC would be a joke. I would rather buy a used mac then a new PC with OS X on it. It only degrades the operating system.
Right?

back to the poo, apple users tend to think their shit don't stink. sorry just isn't true.
- kpl0
but it does stink less.
and compared to pc, it smells like mountain top spring flowers blanketed by a morning dew.

Keep in mind that people make computers secure, not operating systems. There are TONS AND TONS of Linux exploits out there, even in serverland. The difference is that on the whole, the Linux admins are a more technical crowd that pays closer attention when holes are discovered and patches are released.
You all remember SoBig right? The patch that fixed that problem in Windows was available over a month before the first SoBig was released. And it was trivial to install, just like all the stuff you get through WindowsUpdate. People didn't apply the patch, and everyone got nailed.
Of course, I'm still running Linux on my desktop. ;)

Many Mac users are artists, or people convinced to use a Mac by an artist of some type, who were lead to believe Macs are better for design, which was true about 8 years ago when Macs came with a video card and PCs did not. That is how they got the reputation for being better for graphics work.
Do you know why Mac released iTunes for PC? Because only about 2% of computer users use Macs. And many of those are educational facilities who got a good deal on a Mac lab. Apple knows they can only target 2% of computer users if they stick to Mac. That's not a wise business decision. Microsoft ended Macintosh development of their products. That was a wise business decision.
