I haven't see that much hype since the last religion announced their savior was coming down to lead them to the promised land.

Have you actually tried Mac for longer than 5 minutes? If you did you might understand why people love it. When I first saw Windows 7 I was like oh geez this is like multitudes times better than XP in many ways and still so much worse in many places. But I liked it.

After I have used Mac for 4 years now I find 7 cumbersome, uninnovative and lacking in functionality. I choose mac over Win7 for every task other than playing games.

Unfortunately

If you say so then you haven't used it, really. Sorry but it's just not believable

I was like you, I almost quit my job the day I had to migrate to Mac. I was sooo pro windows and sooo why do I need to re-learn this and that. And now they'd have to pry mac away from my dead fingers.

No, really.
For a while now my school district's used Macs for the English and Arts departments (herp derp).
Which means, unfortunately, I've had no choice other than to use these miserable machines for the past ~3 years I've had to use various Mac machines, ranging from low end Mac books to some pretty high end machines.
Actually, I've had to use Macs since I started public school, and I've always hated them, even before I knew why they were 'different'.

The only thing that I like about Macs is the touchpad on Macbooks, but I've even used some Windows based laptops with a similar system now.

I used to write drivers for Apple's computers.  Hated every minute of it.  Still do.  My Wife has to use a Mac, for some of her work.  She hates it as well.

It is not that either of us prefers Windows over the Mac, we just dislike the Mac more.  I prefer UNIX and the CLI to all of them.

Apple is great for innovation (particularly for iPods and such), but using them for a home computer is silly. Maybe they are great and easy to use, but do they work with most of the software out there?

It is very similar to the beta vs vhs debate in the 80s, unfortunately, the Mac is the beta in the comparison.

[gyrene81]

apple products in general sux...and yes i have not only used them i have had to support them...since the apple II gs...best 2 things apple did was intel hardware platform and linux os core...before that they were proprietary garbage, like dec alpha systems...

my favorite thing about mac's are the users...1 out of 10 know what they are doing...the rest are pinheads that would be lost even on a windows 3.11 system...but they gotta to have that mac because "it's superior to windows" even though they can't even figure out how uninstall a program...as long as they can call what they consider a low level iq zombie to their office to figure it out, that mac is the bestestest thing around...

if apple hadn't done what they did to get into the public education system and stay there...it would be nothing more than an overpriced niche market computer few people would even know about.

apple are greating at saying they innovate. They don't really. What they are great at is marketing. I could take all of the cool features from OS X and show you those in OS's used in the 90's for example.

Well I like Macs, they're nice to use, reliable, and I don't need to take care of them. I don't like Windows. Therefore my OS is better than your OS. Hah.
