Jaguar is half the price of Windows XP so why would I use Windows on my Mac? :?

Im surprised this thread is still around. Yawnn/..

I love apple, they are so desperate to be innovative that they always come up with new stuff first. Then i can sit back and wait for some non-proprietry pc based company to fix all the mistakes they make and release the same thing for half the price. Oh and i think macs are the ugliest things i've ever seen... in my mind they are the industrial design equivalent of beveeled buttons with drop shadows and chrome filters.

Well I have to say that it was fun reading what people think about PCs and Macs and I would like to raise one point.
As a creative professional, like many other here, I used both Macs and PCs. Based upon my experience I can say only one thing. Who cares if Macs do a bit better job with video. If I can buy a blazing fast PC for a third of a Mac price which does almost everything the same or even better (with exception for video) why in the world would I buy a Mac. If I need to do only video I will buy one PC with extra RAM and video editing software and keep it very clean and one for web development, print and other stuff. They would still cost less then one nicely equipped G4. That's what I call productivity and cost-effectiveness.

Mac for video or print work. PC for everything else.

as much as i hate this topic, i have to agree with the prev post to a degree. macs are better at certain things. and pcs at others.
just as 3d animators use SGIs, they have only a tiny fraction of marketshare. They're still the best for 3d and rendering.
in my exp, it seems the mac is better for video. plain and simple. who cares about the marketshare.

i used to do video on a pc that had the exact same stats as my powerbook g4.... the g4 is way way way way way way better for video than it's pc counterparts. at my house there is my mac, and two pcs... i test everything on all three, but for some reason, everything always looks better on the mac. oh yeah.. firewire is standard on macs.. you gotta go buy a card and install it on a pc, you have to spend a bunch of loot to get a pc up to what mac considers standard in the video department.

isn't this topic illegal on NT anyway?

here is an neutral site comparing different OS for better choosing the righ 'tool'.

I agree with creon, that is my point of view, talking about what is better as a tool, not what will make your work look better

you cant do a print preview on a pc?

Mac ALL THE WAY!!!
I use pc's to, but because I have to..
Mac screens has more resolution than pc's, soft runs separate from each other, making them hard to crash, (they do, not so often) slow start up? more memory and its over, why you are using explorer if you are on osx, get safari, way better!!
did I mention that there is no virus for macs? if you work in graphics, or audio.. mac, pc? games, internet and accounts..
peace

as far as I know ligatures is not possible on PCs.
and I don't know how 'print preview' works on PCs, but I can't live without it on my Mac.
so PCs are useless when it comes to print design... right?
