mac or windows?

i want to prove once and for all that, if they were compatible, mac would dominate.

feel free to insult or compliment either one in this thread.

 

[Richard III]

Ten years ago I would have voted mac. But then, Mac didn't want to be compatible. So they deserved what they got.

 

[IceBlaZe]

Never used mac and hated windows untill 2k.
So I abstain.

 

[damunzy]

I don't know how this thread will prove once and for all that mac would dominate....

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

I vote windows. I never used mac except for back in school and they were quite possibly the dumbest machines I have ever worked with. Of course, I didn't mind it as much since they used a security program called MacControl to block us from stuff and I knew how to disable the extension(change passwords/have complete access) so I would change the privelages of the guest account(that was never used) to have full access. Then we got windows, the machines we had were faster(by farrrrrrr.....) than any Mac at the time. The security was also better. Not to mention we had to install civ 2 for mac to play it and you can play it off CD in windows

 

[tctatheel7]

have you guys ever tried the newer macs (not the piece of $h|t macs that schools use)? That's really what i meant. I had one of the newer ones before i got this thing. it never crashed, but then again i only had like 4 games for it (civ 1 included!) because you could never find any for it. Oh well, i voted mac anyway.

 

[Globber]

dominate??? HAH!! the old mac were kinda good, but it just went downhill, to where it is now, an expensive, colorful paperweight

 

[tctatheel7]

And how would you know? Have you ever owned a mac?

 

[Lostman]

"mac or windows?" Can't really ask that question like that. In what aspects are you talking about?

1. Gaming - Win
2. Networking - Linux for enterprise, Win for local.
3. Graphic Arts / Audio editing / Video editing - Mac
4. Originality - Mac
4. Popularity (the more people that use it, the more programs there will be for it, bla bla bla) - Win

I'd love to have a G4. But at the same time, because Evil Microsoft is still on top, I have to have a system running Win to play my games. Now if we can get Lindows to deliver on any of they're promises we'd be in good shape.

 

[tctatheel7]

An average of all 5 qualaties is what i meant. I tend to agree with your reasoning: microsft is evil, but i am being forced into windows so that I can play my games.

 

[Mikoyan]

Windows.
I like to work on macs, but then again, i'm a gamer.

looks like you just killed your own thread.

 

[darkwarpblade]

if windows is so dominatet, they why bother with mac? It could die any time, then where would you be?

 

[The Overlord]

Well windows is anything else but not a stable and useful program and it's very difficult to find a proper support for mac (few programs, games,...) as there are only few user (compared to windows) so I decided to get back to my nintendo as it did never crash and when you insert a cassette you can be sure you can play the game to the end without rebooting 20 times.

 

[tctatheel7]

LOL. Good thinking Overlord!
