hey, I didn't start either of these threads, and I've tried to be the mellow one throughout.
I use my Mac for alot of graphic work, as my digital hub, and for the internet. What do you use yours for?
There's lots of reasons why Macs don't have a larger share, and it's 70% cost, and 30% bad buisness practices.
Why do you think WalMart is the number one store in the country, because of their quality? Fine, comparing Wintel boxes with WalMart is pretty good, actually. They're everywhere, they're cheaper than dirt, and you know when you leave the store that what you got may not last.
I ask you, if Macs are so bad, why are they around at all? They have had HORRIBLE decisions made at the corporate level, and if they didn't have an awesome product, they would have been gone. They also put all there eggs into the DVD basket, when CD-R's took off. That didn't help, and neither did Napster. Still, the Apple sells between 5% and 6% of all the computers sold. Funny thing, though, their numbers in the home are higher (nearly 12%). Why's that? because they don't break down.
I don't see how anyone, unless they're blind, could possibly sit down in front of a G4 and Wintel, and not prefer the mac. It's cleaner, sharper, smoother, much more user friendly, and the easiest computer to upgrade.
You ever look at the installation instructions for things that work with both macs and Windows? The Windows instructions are usually twice as long. Typical. The Mac is a very quality machine, and anyone that says different is a complete idiot.
