Solve : Mac Question?

Answer»

I have heard for the longest time that Macs suck, what I want to know is why does everybody say that Macs suck? Is it the operating system?No features, no compatibility, etc. You don't have REALLY any control over a Mac, and it's impossible to get what you want out of it, especially when there's no thrid party software for it.

FlameLets all take a field trip:
Go to www.download.com, search for "Games" under software for free.

Free Games for Windows XP:
Results: 889

Free games for Mac OS X:
OH GOODY! 38!

Mainly because compatibility, Macs don't have any good games, programs, or anything like that.

HOWEVER: They are good for the office environment, mainly because "FREE!" software cannot be installed on them.

Lets ignore that whole thing about Macs not being able to get viruses, no one even bother to target a Mac for a virus.

Macintoshes are not targeted for viruses, adware, or spyware because they are not compatible with running the files needed to infect most computes. Sure, viruses can be downloaded, but not activated within a Mac. People don’t target Macs because they are not often used. They are only good for office COMPUTERS. I would die if my school started replacing them. If I were a virus maker, or a hacker, I would want to target the most used OS and PC’s on earth, Microsoft and comp’s that run with Intel’s or Athlon’s (yes, I know that for the first time, the Intel Chip is being locked down to eak out a miserable existence INSIDE, please hold your breath, a MAC) I have a Mac, and the only thing I am impressed with is the voice reorganization programs. (Yes, that’s right, I talk to my computer. It can ALSO sing, but that’s not one bit useful).
(that was a quote from myself, and yes, I do talk to my Mac. I call it Idiot, or computer, or "Push to Talk".So, is it the OS, What if i put XP on it, would it still suck?Not all Macs can have Windows installed on them...Dump off your prissy Mac and get a real computer lol

Your still not answering my question...are the faults in the OS? If i put XP on it, if allowable, would it be like my dell, or would it still have the problems and faults associated with it?

I really don't know. There might be some limitations, but it might be the same.
Did you search Google for that?Not yet, been busy setting up a home network. I search it tommorow at school.Installing XP on Macs was a big challenge which has only just been overcome this year. The indications from Apple now are that they will make it easier for their hardware to run MS Windows - whether people will do it remains to be seen.

The main problem with Macs is that they are not the computer system that everyone uses. PCs are on most people's desks, so software and hardware manufacturers concentrate their efforts on PCs. Why build Mac stuff when there are far fewer customers?

But Macs have traditionally held sway in the area of graphic DESIGN - and they still do. Go to any professional printing or publishing house, and you will find a high concentration of Macs, with state of the art graphics software and hardware. Their users swear by them.
