At last, there are so many ppl here who have use both system & understand the Windows is still good...
Not that I like M$, but its not fair that people always bash Windows for being crappy when all they do is load it with all sorts of free adware/3rd party programs.
Win XP + SP2 is the best windows to date...For those who are paranoid about viruses & spywarez...SP2 is a must. My system doesn't even have anti virus (theyr'e crap that bog down ur system), only my router firewall is between me & the rest of the world... :sweat:
Talking about stability, I overclock my P4 1.8Ghz to 2.9Ghz & throw in all sorts of theme programs such as Konfabulator, Avedesk, Object bar, it is still kicking hard & left running for days without crashing.
I use PowerMac G5 at office everyday, so I use it more than my PC...i can tell u its not as fantastic as those Mac fanboys (sorry) claim. It freezes & crashes as frequent as well. Kernel panic & the dreaded Spinning Beach Ball of Death is a familiar sight if ur give it a lot of pressure. Maybe I got a lemon instead of apple?... :dunno:
Mac is good for its stabilty, lack of spyware/virus & ease of use. Just love its drag & drop program installation. :thumbsup:
But the OS X interface is nothing sorts of amazing anymore since Windows XP can do it much better thx to the support of the whole open source community.
Windows PC is good for enthusiasts who enjoys PC gaming & customizing their hardware. And the cost of upgrading is relatively cheap compare to Mac. Just drop few hundred bucks & ur system is refreshed for another 12 months again. For Mac, u gotta shell out thousands to upgrade the whole system..But good thing is, Mac users usually use their system for years without upgrading.
