I see a businessman and a slob.  I don't think that's what Apple wants me to see, but all the same, it's what I see.  To my eyes, Apple is calling its own product cheap and sloppy.


The picture is interesting because, as far as the market goes, the PC is the successful product and the Mac is the pauper.   Even though i probably don't see the picture as Apple intended, it's still an accurate metaphor.

Not really, basically they're belittling the other 97% of the market. Not a great way to win business. All it appeals too is existing Mac zealots. Not a great way to grow your business.

I work on a Mac with OS X and I like it a lot.

My home Computer is a PC and my MAC at work blows it out of the water.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Macs moved to intel and their OS is not a lot different from Linux.

Now that MACs have the same hardware, the only thing that makes them different is the OS. Why would I give up nearly all the software I have on my PC (mainly games :)) just so I can run MAC OS? Why would I buy a MAC and then put WinXP on it?

I am a controls engineer. ALL of the software I use is for Windows. None of it is available for MAC. Therefore, all 50 or so PCs in my company and all PCs of our customers are Microsoft. When a customer isn't using Microsoft (i.e. for database servers), they have UNIX/LINUX servers.

If software companies start making apps for both MAC and WinXP, or better yet, for just MAC, and Apple sells the MAC at competitive prices, then they just might get my $. Until then, I am stuck with Windows both at work and at home.

MAC fans can scream out how great MACs are 24/7, in the mean time, the rest of the world will keep working and playing games on their PCs :)

I don't know anything about computers..  we have PC's at work and I had to learn microsoft programs.  

I play AH.

I don't want to learn new programs and I want to play AH.

I don't really care what mac does at this point.   I have never even seen one other than in movies.

Well actually they are competitive and in some cases even cheaper now, but you are right, they didnt use to be.

As for the argument on who is the best... ive given up on that a long time ago. Both have their strongpoint and are pretty much equal. If i had to choose then it all depends on what models I had to choose from.

I have an old PowerBook G4 mac at work (+ 4 PCs), and I ordered a Mac Mini for home just about a week ago. The OSX is far superior to Windows in usability, configurability and maintainability. The Darwin BSD is a cool thing, reminds me of my (now dead) trusty old FreeBSD server.

If it wasn't for AH, I could easily see myself switching to OSX on my home computer.
