It really comes down to a question of price and style. For the price of a mac you get a pc that's much faster, that's a fact.

I have to agree with you there, Read my other long post.. it has much less contention . When someone is bsing though.. its hard to not set the record straight.

Regardless, I agree with your above stated.

I've been a dedicated mac user for a long time. Recently I got my hands on a Thinkpad G40. In all honesty, I think I'd be lost wihtout either one of them. I don't think its so much a matter of what system you're running so much as your software. You can't run Sonar on a mac, and you can't run Logic on a PC. I use the PC more now than the mac, but that's because its portable and I'm running Sonar3. But I have a number of things I can only do on my Mac. I'd say base your decision on where you can get the most power for the money, and on what software you want to run.

Vert, i'm not sure if i should reply, you didn't really come up with much hard evidance on your ideas. Really, try and write a worm virus for linux. Notice the difficulty? Now write one for windows. Look at what the NSA suggests of a secure platform. I'm a linux user so i'm not sure why you bring up OS X. But if you want to contend the security features of this 'Unix' system you talk about, which is actually a family of operating systems. OSX is based of one member of this family, one of the BSD's. BSD is actually known for being more secure than linux, not less. See especially NetBSD. I was suggesting the home user mentality for the application writers. The api's are more what matters in this context. BSD type systems which OS X is one of formed the first ever networks, so yes BSD was born for networks, where as windows wasn't. I suggest Operating Systems Concepts by Silberschatz and Galvin as a good introduction to these concepts.

( I spoke about it [os x], because the topic at hand is Windows/PC versus Mac OS X. ) But if you want to contend the security features of this 'Unix' system you talk about (You are putting words in my mouth or something. I mentioned unix once, and I never said that it was a specific OS.) , which is actually a family of operating systems. OSX is based of one member of this family, one of the BSD's.

BSD type systems which OS X is one of formed the first ever networks,(Italiziced sentance: How am I soposed to make any sense out of this? "is one of formed the first ever networks"? In what context? How? WTF? yeek.) so yes BSD was born for networks,(Your statement prooved nothing.) where as windows wasn't (provide some "hard evidence".)

Overall your post is quite irrelevant to my points, you don't relly provide any hard evidence yourself. You imply that I said things that I most certainly did not, then you attempt to correct said things. Don't do that. If you want to address the topics at hand, I will surely take your points to heart, but until then.. I don't really care.
