MAC versus WIN7. Windows wins.

I have a Macbook pro with OSX Snow Leopard and I have to say - Windows 7 wins. Sorry appletards, Windows 7 takes the cake this time. Microsoft took concepts that Apple marketed (as opposed to developed) and made them better. The key word there is better. This thread is for you all to figure out how I am wrong.

I have A Mac Pro running Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro running Leopard and a brand new laptop with Windows 7.

I must say I still like Snow Leopard better.

Just my opinion.

Whatever.


I used Windows 7 for like 2 weeks.


It was absolutely horrible.


I was so glad to use my Mac again.

I tried Macs for a while but found myself using OS X hardly ever and sticking with Windows. My problem was that I'm not some newbie who just wants to surf the web, type a report and play around with garage band. I like to use a machine for serious music creation amongst other things and sadly the technical knowledge amongst Mac owners is pretty much Zilch. I was asking questions about Core Audio and just from the knowledge I have of ASIO I knew that they were talking crap. That's when I knew it wasn't the OS for me.

I mean they may be right that there is more issues with Windows but Windows has such a large user base that if you have a problem you know multiple users out there have had it before and someone has figured it out. With a Mac if you have a technical issue you are on your own no one really knows much behind GUI.

Agreed.

IMO: Apple makes really great hardware (WORD!)
IMO: Microsoft makes a great OS to go with that hardware.

Windows 7 on a mac is awesome.

The only reason why Microsoft OS still exists is the unfair support by all hardware vendors, who are attracted
to the money system of Microsoft and do lack support for good drivers for Unix OS, or all things related to gaming.

Something tells me that you are a..... shill?

Yes, You are wrong.
Because the layer unther osX is Unix,
and before You bash,
You would known Unix is superior to
any Windows OS in an multitask, multiuser
and multithreaded environment.

Windows OS are insecure, even Windows 7.

Not to mention the numerous call homes to Microsoft
which invades Your privacy, when You update, install
or even use a program. Or things like indexing Your
media library to send statistics to Microsoft.

The only reason why Microsoft OS still exists is the
unfair support by all hardware vendors, who are attracted

For the real (and secure) work, You need an Unix OS.
And not an OS who talks to all software vendors
what You are running on Your computer.

Put a Firewall on Your OS, and You would see how many
programs wants to call mommy. Or when the screen saver pops up, who makes outside connections !

You just prouved to be a smart ass.
You seems to known very little about what You
are talking about.

OK, I'll bite.

I'm a developer and have developed on just about every platform on the planet. So I know bits and I know bytes.

Unix is a fantastic operating system. I have nothing bad to say about unix in all of it's flavors. OSX is based on open BSD. Mad props to those that contributed!

However, any developer with creds worth a shit will tell you that the OS is UNDERHACKED.

Next?

the network stack is horrible.

Why ? Maybe they are sponsored by Microsoft.

This seems fully accepted by a lot of people.
But I do want as best as I can to have control about my computer. I don't accept other companies to take statistics about my computers, my software and my files. if You install some programs from Microsoft, Adobe, etc. You see, they do all have callbacks.
You startup Your computer and all those programs do make chitchats. Well...

OSX is not based on OpenBSD.

It is based upon the Mach kernel,
mainly FreeBSD and NETBSD parts are used.

OpenBSD is rather a Young variant in the xxxBSD family.

Your multitask and multithread comment amazes me. OK..... I'll take a second bite. Threads are a product of who spawns them. I should coin that phrase... LOL.. Ping for a license.... :) If Microsoft decided that they weren't going to cater to the average user (music, video, internet), don't you think that they would tweek the kernel to go to "work mode"? Damn straight they would.

NEXT!!?

Don't act as clown.
I just mention the history of Mac OSX.
It is as I stated,

I am on the net since the start,
and we did not use slang words such as GEEZ.

Those words came, when the internet came the
pleasure grounds for noobs.

Thank you... You saved me a lot of typing.
You should see home many PC's I have to fix that run windows xp vista and windows 7.

Os X just works.

If you want to play games go buy a Xbox 360 or PS3.
If you want to work get a MAC.

Please people.
I'll go crazy if I have to pull another virus off of a pc.
