Why is the mac still around when no one is willing to write things for it? I really don't get how it survives with an outdated messenger to my knowledge nd literally no one writing free/shareware 4 it?

WOW! thats an uniformed answer. theres is loads of free (as in speech) software for the mac platform, as well as many other pay software.. its is also more secure htan a windows machine (u ever hear of a Mac Virus?). and there are programs for it. in fact, Microsoft Word and Excel were on the mac before they were on anything else. macs also have excelent user interfaces, and are very powerful, and in the log run are cheaper (the 3rd most powerful supercomputer is 1/3 of the speed of the top one, at 1/10th of the price). it is also amazing at editing video and audio, which is why it is the most used operating system in the music AND movie industry.

and why u judge an operating system on MSM messesnger is beyond me

It's also the look and otehr things, an no one I know has one. They may have a stylish look, but are no real competition. About the viruses im sure there are none because every1 targets microsoft pcs, as thats what teh vast majority of people use. I'm not being anti, just wonder about macs seeing as I never hear about them

i know a bunch of ppl who have them, and even more who want them. just because u never hear about doesn't mean that they do poorely.


in fact, Apple just payed off all of their debt

What annoys me msot is lack of compatibility, but I spose u can get those emulation engines for apple macs? so they run windwos programs

or, you just dont need those programs. and anything decent has a Mac version. what are u looking for? and dont say games.

MACs are very powerful Machines they run on a different processor type to PC's and are reasonably cheap.  Try video editing on a MAC and PC a MAC will win hands down everytime.  At college with have a suite of 12 and a big server as well!

There great there just not windows thats all

MACs are for Image editing etc, music editing all the Powerful stuff, they are more reliable etc...

Windows machines are by far the more home-use machine for the simple fact that more people know how to use them and there is alot more software for them.

Personally, i dont like using MACs because i just want a home-use pc which can run every game, i dont need a MAC so i wont have one

and next time, dont put a mahcine down because of the fact its MSN Messenger version number is lower than Windows'

Macs would be very good, but it's the compatibility they lack. The majority of software (made by MS anyway) is for Windows, as they want you to use Windows.

MSN Messenger clone for Linux, Mac and Windows: aMSN

Works great

Lets not forget the other side of the coin. Windows is excellent as well.

If I had a Mac, I'd use it loads. But I'd use my PC loads as well.

To be honest, overall, neither is better than the other. Except Steve Jobs is so hilarious at times

I was in the store the other day and they were selling off their 3 whole MAC OS games, one was a 3D version of PONG...LOL! But HALO was originally for Mac OS, but Microsoft wasw afraid,s o they bought Bungie
But either way, I don't like MACs as much...lol

Oh, and watch this, it's a spoof It's good

Lol @ all of the movies about Balmer, I saw the one where he screams, but I haven't seen the "develpoers" one

If that guy is on any kind of drug, he needs to get off of it, and if he isn't, he needs some

Balmer isn't hilarious. He's crazy!!

Steve Jobs just makes me laugh cos of some of the claims he makes

I agree with Jeronimo, Balmer is crazy...He needs shock therapy or something...and de-oderant

I think whoever highered him is the one who leaked the partial source code

I use PCs (with Windows) at home and Macs (OS X) at school.

I was seriously thinking about buying myself one of the new PowerBooks for school use. They do everything I would need - plus Mac OS X kicks serious ass!

It was just the whole messenger thing that reminded me of the whole macs rnt good thing. Sorry, glad I could be enlightened though. Who split the thread making everyone hate me for being so narrowminded? lol

a mod, prolly

and were glad we could help

I would still never buya  MAC Too few things are compatible with it, inclusing most of the good games, although when I was in Media Arts last year we had a prety good, FREE game for Mac os or Windows, called BOLO (or WinBolo if u want it for windows...hosted on dif. site) just do a search!
