I think Macs were always better than 'doze machines, they invented the GUI, and windows marketed it to the masses. This is typical. Mac had inovation, 'doze had marketing.
Thier are reasons why graphics has been traditionally the mac thing for so many years.

Sadly 'doze has now all but won, just through the sheer scale of the M$ monster, and of course the fact that M$ own most if not all the mac OS.

Of course personally i prefer Linix

:p

131335 2003-03-28 01:01:00 I use Windows XP because it is stable and supports all my software. I would however quite like an Apple Powerbook to dabble in BSD with.

I wouldn't touch a crappy tree hugging linux box with a barge pole however as Linux zelots are, amazingly, 10x worse than Mac zelots.

There is no place for OS flame wars here. They are a total waste of time and disk space. Some of the comments lead to a very low estimate of the intelligence and maturity of those making them.

131338 2003-03-28 02:06:00 Well I've still got a soft spot for the Amiga .

Still got a working 500 and 600 if you know the Amiga and I pull them out now and then and give them a whirl .

Dare I say an elegant system?

Otherwise I use W98, Me, and XP .

How bout here:

And BTW - I like the Lycoris Desktop/LX one better... looks a LOT less 'artificial' than the MS one ;-)

Ive never used a Mac, but supposedly Mac users are smater when it comes to computing, with 75% more Mac users being online that Doze users!

*Wonders where *nix fits in with that statistic?*

131341 2003-03-28 03:03:00 Its not a mac vs windows thing, its a intel vs powerpc thing. And it isn't much of a competition.

The mac processors have fallen behind intel because [whoever is making them, motorola?] hasn't been putting anywhere as much into R&D to keep up.

Until [whoever makes them] does, or apple move to another PPC maker (or even intel) they are going to continue to fall behind.
