Which is beter: PC or Mac? Why?

The nice thing about PC's is that they have several diffrent company's making them, meaning there is competition so there prices are lower, and software companys and game makers usually focus on them instead of Macs. \n   They say that the Ipod is the only way Macintosh is staying alive.

If you like Windows at all, you'll love the Mac OS as soon as you get used to the differences. Give it about three weeks and you'll never want to go back to Windows. \n\nMicrosoft Office is considered by many to be better on the Mac than the PC version. \n\nOut of the box, Mac's can print directly to PDF files and view them with Preview or use Adobe Reader, so Mac PDF support is better than on the PC.\n\nI'm not sure about SPSS, but if you do need to run Windows applications, you can boot into Windows on the new Intel Macs (Bootcamp) or run Windows from within OS X using Parallels.\n\nHere's a good place to go with Mac questions:\nhttp://forums.macosxhints.com/

Macs are like limousines to the PCs. they're usually more expensive (except the Mac Mini), and they don't suffer from the same frequent problems (viruses, crashes) as Windows machines. if you are big into gaming, you might have issues with some games not having Mac capability--but the most popular games work for Macs too. i don't know what the guy's saying about "internet" use or home use--i've never had any problems using the Net with my Mac. most people who use Macs professionally are artists, graphic designers, writers or academics. however, Macs are designed much more intuitively for the average user (the kind of people who don't know how to fix computers, but just want them to work well at the touch of a button).

Mac's in general are more stable then windows that's for sure!! OS x is an excellent OS.

If your looking at a mag the only reason people get mac is for the graphic programs, the new intel macs have not been proven yet, I dont recommand any product till it's been out in the market for a year.\n\nIf you looking for a PC just buy an xp windows base computer.

Windows has many more security vulnerabilities than the Mac OS. This is not just because Windows has a larger install base; the underlying OS in Mac, FreeBSD, is much harder to hack.\n\nI find the Mac OS user interface far more pleasant to use than Windows as well, but that's a matter of personal preference. As far as software, most business productivity titles are available for both platforms, and the multimedia offerings from Apple, at least at the consumer level, are unparalleled in the Windows world.

Two different operating systems, simply.  Microsoft is better in terms of easy to find software and hardware.  Mac is supposed to be slightly more reliable and efficient.

i tryed to send you a email but some how it did not go through so i am "answering" here. you are very ignorant about macs. i have worked with a lot of pcs both fast and slow, and never had any thing but problems with them. all pcs are junk compared to macs. macs never get viruses, have the best hardware in the world, and have been rated the best computer of any price. they last long, have all good software, pcs have a lot more software but most of it is junk and if you got rid of all the bad stuff there would be less for pc than theere is for mac. i know what a good computer is and you dont. i will never use a pc again. my mac is the best computer i have ever had, and when i need a new computer i will get a mac. PCs STINK.

I have Tiger--OS-X.4 and I love it. I have used both Mac and Windows computers and I prefer Mac. After all, there are millions of viruses out their for the PC, and only about 6 for a Mac.

For starters, The interface is different. It's just something you'll have to get used to. There are far fewer viruses on the mac, and you won't need to worry as much about security. \n\nApple has some great resources online that show you the differences and how to switch from your PC to a Mac.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/support/mac101/\nhttp://www.apple.com/support/switch101/\n\nThe website seems complicated, but using a mac is a far more simple experience than a PC.

the main difference between a pc and a mac user is what they do...\nmacs are (so ive been told) excelent for audio/video editing stuff...pcs are good for just about anything, but not really excelent...windows isnt the greatest os...linux isnt either, too many contributions and not enough collaberation.  with macs there is definately a "rich guy" thing because they are EXPENSIVE!!!  that is the main reason that i will not buy one...$$$$$$$$$\n\nas for the question, i am a pc user...and no i am not annoyed by mac users, just stupid mac users...\n\ni also do work on pcs as kind of a side job...and let me tell you...for the most part, pc users are not usually that knowledgeable......

I chose the PC over the MAC many years ago.  At that time software was my main issue.  I was essentially an experimenter, and was interested in having access to a large number of varied programs.  If you had a PC you could choose from dozens of word processors, spreadsheet, etc.  If you looked to shareware the selection grew exponentially.  On the other hand a MAC had one of each application available.  At the time I would enter a store to buy software and find rack after rack of PC programs and half a shelf dedicated to the MAC.  It was like buying an early Ford  automobile, you could have any color as long as it was black.\n\nNow I stay with the PC because of inertia.  I have experience with the PC so I am in my comfort zone.  I don't see any reason to change at this time.

For gaming, PC's are better, since most modern games have support only for MS Windows.\n\nFor writing, either perform equally well, each having good word processing facilities.\n\nFor coding, the Mac is probably better, but if you run Linux, then there will be little difference.\n\nFor pictures, the Mac does indeed perform well, however if you are more used to using a PC, you'll find the switch over fairly difficult, and probably not worth the effort. A PC set up correctly and with the forethought a decent database programmer is capable of should perform adequatley for your needs. \n\nIn terms of price, the PC is far cheaper, and the relative improvements in performance for the extra money of buying a Mac really are not sufficient in my mind to sensibly warrent the purchace of a Mac.\n\nMy suggestion would be to go for the PC and have it dual boot. Let Windows handle the gaming and writing, allowing your family to use what they know and are used to, while using a fedora core Linux to handle the programming side of things.

Macs are a step down from Windows.  Therefore, it has less features and less updates than Windows.  If you want more updates get Windows.
