Now now, let's not turn Mero's topic into a Mac vs. PC bash-fest... Again.

*Fixed

I do realize that in some cases Windows is better than a Mac (notice how i said Windows, not PC's because they're all PC's) and in others Mac is better than Windows, but since i opted for an operating system that everyone in the media industry uses i may as well get a head start in understanding the operating system and its services. That way if i do go into employment i can help other employees out with their macs if they experience any problems.

I go to night class with a bunch of adults and many of them are new to using macs for their media, however one of them is adamant that the Macintosh operating system is far better than the Windows one and i keep telling him that's not true. He asked me if i had a choice, what OS would i choose and i said Windows. The reason is is because it can do what a mac can't. Play games, run superfast applications, easy to upgrade and what-not. Yet he said that windows crashes more often. That's a blatant lie. I've experienced more instability with macs that i have with 8 years of windows. I have never had the aptly named 'blue screen of death' but many times had the 'beachball of death' (mac freezing). Take a look at the apple OS X forums. Nearly every other post is a problem or a kernal panic or something doesn't work right.

The thing is, Apple devs read these topics and fix the issues with updates. I don't think i know of a forum where windows users can go do that... The main reason i've switched is because i wanted a computer that when i pushed the power button it would just work. Last time i turned on a windows PC it lost hal.dll and wouldn't boot. Although i doubt it's a software problem since my motherboards been acting up lately.

Anyway...
