which do you like and why.
for me, i use windows for games, using windows only software, and programming programs for windows, because i have to use windows for thouse.
the rest of the time linux, its small, fast, free, stable, can do things that windows can only do after they take it from linux, and treats you like an intelligent human being.

mac i find it more easier to use. it makes a computer feeling like what it's supposed to be with you in control. not it bossing you around.

And linux still exists? I thought that fad went out years ago ;)
(As a note, I'm not a fan of Windows, but I'd still rather use it than linux or mac)

nope for those who are tired of "Are you sure" and all that makes Windows a p.o.s. os.::D: like i said in the other thread i grew up using both but i prefer mac over windows. trust me all those people who say that eventually try a mac and agrees it's more user friendly. then eventually buys a Apple computer.::D:
resale for a Apple computer is extremely good. someone bought the Apple computer with the necks, and a year ago sold it on craigslist for the same price he bought it for which i think was $1,200.
btw why in the world is there another thread like this?

true but it's well worth buying and selling after so many years. unlike a pc with the same specs.

Windows sucks, no doubt, but it allows for significantly more control over your computer if you know what you're doing. However, most people don't know what they're doing which is why Macs are so popular. I will admit that if you want to do anything with graphics or video (editing and such) Macs are far superior.
trust me all those people who say that eventually try a mac and agrees it's more user friendly. then eventually buys a Apple computer.::D: That would be incorrect, I've tried macs and haven't found them to my liking and thus have not bought one :P

Well windows is more for programming in C++, VB, C etc ... Mac OSX is more for graphic design and designers... Linux uses the unix system (same as apple) so really you can port stuff between linux and mac osx seemingly easily.

at least you admit that then. those who i have talked to and those on youtube :oo:, find it was a better switch. anyways computers are computers they all have their weak points.
their is boo but it shows linux kicking window's and mac's ass.

Mac is almost identical to linux, they both use the unix system...basically mac and linux are the same...almost

They may look different, but they use the same system structure, it just a personal opinion or rather a choice to make of which you prefer. I have a mac because I make websites and I make stuff with PS. I also have a PC with fedora on it so I would know. The faster is deff MAC OSX but the safer and more evil (more programs for hacking etc) is linux. Windows is just too popular and they monopolized the world, stupid smart bill.

so far the only weak point in linux i've seen is that just about everything is written for windows, not everything has a linux version, and linux cant nativity run windows code... yet mwahahaha
p.s.
Zaraki i know it looks like i'm picking on you, but i'm not. i just find you vary quotable.
