How are adobe apps any different, no matter what platform you use. I fail to see how workflow could be increased using either.

My PCs have never crashed and have no viruses.
That being said, I can see where you are coming from THA, and that's probably the reason why I am switching to a Mac. But I'm still using a PC for certain things.

DAMN. so much trash talk. All I can say is that I was using a PC for about 5 yrs for design, then I had to upgrade & I switched to a Mac. I will NEVER go back to PCs & it has nothing to do with Steve Jobs or the Apple "cult". I don't give a crap about the brand or the hype. I find that designing on my Mac is 100x more efficient and enjoyable than on any PC I've ever used, and on any Windows platform I have ever worked on. That's the bottom line. If it was Gates making Macs I would still use them. I don't care how they look on the exterior (although it's nice), all I care is the work flow, which from experience I find to be much better on Mac OS X. Unlike my old PCs (I had 3 of them) my Mac just works. no crashes (EVER), no Viruses, no Spyware. That's the bottom line.

why i use macs? i never learned to use windows. and i don't mind. i mean, hey - it's a good computer. looks nice etc. i think most of the ppl use the machine they learned to work with.

yeah jaline, your sister is pretty lucky to get such a machine. i know you only bought it within a year or so. hopefully you aren't setting it to her too cheap.

-----------------------------Thanks Jay,
Unfortunately, they have the incomplete, buggy version up... hopefully, they'll fix that soon

if a company gives me a pc, i'd have to think twice about it and would assume that this company is probably not so serious about design.

What about all of the other corporations, though? Many of them do the same thing.

from 1992 to 2000, i was a windows user. when i started doing more graphic work for agencies and corporations, i'd get files with mac fonts which i couldn't use. the conversion was pain in ass. so i got a mac. once i switched, i pretty much stop turning on my pc except when i did 3d. did mac make my life easy? yes. it simplified a lot of things and also reduce the amount of time i spend on maintenance. also once i got used to osx UI, it was just a lot easier.
i haven't worked for any reputable agencies or corporation where they gave me a pc to design.
