Apple or Windows? Which is better?

[eliezer]

I've always told people that Apple is way better than Windows, but the only disadvantage is that a lot of software doesn't work on Apple's.

And then they tell me some crap about how Apple's aren't simple to use or something ridiculous like that.


But the last few days the lack of software for Mac has been annoying me and I am wondering whether Windows is perhaps better than Apple.

Windows might not look as nice and everything else, but on a Windows you can do whatever you want.

Can someone please explain to me why Apple IS better than Windows.

PS - I am 16 years old, so don't start telling me loads of complex reasons why Apple is better than Windows. I'm a regular home user, not a web designer, or graphics designer or programmer.

Thanks

It's monitor not "moniter". Should fix your sig, and/or activate spellcheck.

I'd be interested in hearing what software applications don't have a peer on the Mac side.

Rather than rehashing all the old chestnuts, why do YOU use Macs? What do you like about them? Why don't you own a PC if you're not a designer or programmer?

ye. tell me.

i have mac's at home because my dad gets Mac's because he is says there better.


why is mac better than windows?



im sure there are 10,000 people on this site that can convince me that Apple is better than Windows.


i don't need someone to ask me why i use a mac!
<hr>
nearly every program on the web doesn't work on a mac.

for example, i can't connect my phone to my computer because it's a mac.

i can't convert files to .3gp and get it to play on my phone properly, because it's a mac.

there are 100s of applications that run on windows and not on mac - and there is no mac version

Eliezer, I don't think such a thread will lead anywhere.
An operating system is a system you work on. The applications you need for your work or entertainment specify your choice on the os. If you are into gaming, then you might want to use windows as a platform. If you are into software developing you might rather pick unix. If you are into graphic design, macosx might be your choice. See, it's so much dependant on what you want to do with it. Most of the apps I use are better on macosx. Together with some hardware-related aspects this became the reason I chose mac.
Your questions is like: what's the best car? Can you say that?

Name the programs? And just because you can't get your phone to work doesn't mean it's Apple's fault More likely operator error. I send video to my Nokia all of the time. Not a problem yet. And I can sync my smartphone via a bluetooth-enabled pda to bypass the lack of MLSyncability so far.

You ask questions but you're afraid to answer them yourself?

eliezer, your sword is shining blue, isn't it?

[Randman]

How's it going Z-S?

Elize, what's better, an XBox or a PS?

What phone are you using? I've had no problems connecting my Sony Ericsson T39m, T68i and T610 with my Mac over Bluetooth.

And to create 3gp content, you need to use QuickTime Pro.
