Apple v Microsoft - EmilyCharlotteJones - 01-02-2010 14:46 Often some-one smugly suggests that everyone should buy an Apple Macintosh and yet others suggest buying a PC? Then there is either Microsoft or GNU / Linux too?
What is the members majority opinion, please? Myself, I have the following computers:- My Mac:- Configuration: Mac Pro Two 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 32GB (8x4GB) Mac Pro RAID Card Two 2TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s HD Drives ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB Two 18x SuperDrives Apple Magic Mouse Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (British) AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi Card with 802.11n Quad-channel 4Gb Fibre Channel PCI Express card iWork Family Pack preinstalled Logic Express preinstalled Final Cut Express preinstalled Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard Apple Mini DisplayPort - DVI Adapter COUNTRY KIT,MAC PRO-GBR (Great Britain) £9,301.27 My Windows machine:- Intel: 486sx 25 MHz 16 MB RAM 500 MB HD 15" LCD screen 16x CDROM Windows 95 £ who cares what it cost? For mine is fourteen and a half years old and still works perfectly well…l!! My Linux Machine at my workplace:- AMD 3 GHz 1 TB DDRRAM 1 TB HD Blue Ray Drive Ubuntu Linux 9.10 LTS £ 00.00 (plus workplace's obvious hardware costs, of course) RE: Apple v Microsoft - whysoserious - 01-02-2010 15:13 I have a mac and trust me they are much better than pc's much simpler to use and more reliable RE: Apple v Microsoft - SS24 Webshow - 01-02-2010 15:16 I have one of each. I got a Macbook Pro for graphics and video editing and i have a PC for gaming. I think both Mac and PC are great! RE: Apple v Microsoft - Bluearmy71 - 01-02-2010 15:21 I have a PC, my operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate and it performs to its own unique standard and never fails to achieve what it sets out to do..................freezes and crashes at least three times a day, more often than not this is when I am in the middle of creating a video! How I love this happening!! RE: Apple v Microsoft - SS24 Webshow - 01-02-2010 15:25 I've been really lucky with Vista Ultimate I haven't had one issue with it (appart from the auto updates... grrr). I am however going to upgrade to windows 7 at some point. RE: Apple v Microsoft - Bluearmy71 - 01-02-2010 15:35 I think Windows 7 is going to be on my PC very soon, I have heard good things about it, another problem with Vista I have is its program compatibility, trying to find something you need to work on it can be a chore! RE: Apple v Microsoft - EmilyCharlotteJones - 01-02-2010 16:19 I would never recommend upgrading simply for the sake of it. Windows 2000 is often an alternative to Windows XP for compatibility resolution. Also generally speaking Windows 2000 is the most reliable* operating system made by Microsoft for many reasons it was built from the ground up on the back of Windows NT and not Windows 9x. I would also warn all users who are not utter time-wasting masochists to avoid Windows ME like the plagued and bug ridden code that it is!! I speak from the experience of one who has used most versions of Windows at their workplace until I threatened to resign if I was not given the use of a GNU Operating System there. They must value my contribution, as the aforementioned attests.
* note: the word reliable is used most advisedly and also for linguistic convenience. Thus any hint of or suggestion of healthy scepticism relating and directly opposing to it's usual linguistic meaning was utterly and fully intended and is certainly not a coincidence, further more I would encourage it further. Further correspondence is actively encouraged. RE: Apple v Microsoft - EmilyCharlotteJones - 01-02-2010 17:29 I would book a consultation with ©K Computers before doing anything Bluearmy71!! I have found their technical support help desk invaluable and they are very reasonably priced too!

I am an Academic Researcher at The University of London. ©K is a National Company, however. My Brother certainly founded the company… I will, of course, freely admit…!! However, he, became and is now a Britannic Crown Civil Servant.
