My question is....why doesn't everyone just have a PC? I'm not biased, just look at the facts: PCs are more common anywhere, Macs have had buggy problems since well...forever, 99.9% of all (good) computer games run ONLY on PCs, and the interfaces in Win 95 through XP were more user friendly than the Mac OS. And let's not forget the fact that if everyone had the same system, there would be NO compatability problems. PCs just seem to be a better candidate.

I'm not saying that Windows doesn't have its glitches, because trust me it does and everyone will agree with that. I'm just saying that maybe we could call Windows the lesser of two evils?

Personally, Macs just seem like children's learning toys to me. Neon colors, cartoon faces, and interfaces that are a little too easy to use. Sure the gigantic (and I mean HUGE) monitors are a plus but you can't do much with it except watch movies......and that's what TVs are for. No good games are made for Macs (as said above) so the monitor STILL doesn't come in handy.

Finally, Apple just doesn't have a good track record. Sure iPods are nice but so are Dell DJs (to name one mp3 player). iPods freeze up and DJs don't. Macs were notorious for freezing also, where Windows just did something weird like give you that blue warning screen. Overall, I think Macs and the Apple company in general is a good company with ok products. But I just think that Microsoft is better, it has more experience with hardware. I mean think about it; the Xbox kicked ass right? Well where's Apple's game system?
