Notice the -and-
This is not a PC vs Mac thread. I've actually got a melven sitting on this fence.
I have 3 Macs and 1 PC:
Dell 4300
iMac Graphite (Server & Backend)
G4 Cube (Design and Init Coding)
PowerBook (Project Management)I'm trying to find a use for the PC other then games. What is just hands down better on the PC? I design and code, email, surf and everything on the Mac, but there's got to be something that the PC is just streight out better at.
I'm looking to realy utilize the PC platform for what it can do.
Please help. Thanks.

it's not a matter of something being better, it's a matter of what you are the most comfortable with. people that don't see this are the ones that relentlessly rehash the mac vs pc debates and don't understand why there's never an end to it.

Well, hmmmmm? You could easily have set this up to make it seem like PC's are useless if you get no good responses, but I'll give you 'the benefit of the doubt' and just say that there are plenty of great music production applications that are made just for PCs as well as working in the business world in general, there are too many things you need for this.

jesus crist, this is the worst attempt to start a mac vs pc discussion, yet you're trying to hide it.
peckerhead.

Not quite, Mitsu but a really nice read all the same.
Its not an attempt for a flame war but I admit it does sound like that is the case. This is why I'm not in public speaking. *sm:)e
"It's not that you're all here today because you're stupid, there are just some things that you may be ignorant of a few things thus I'm here speaking to you today." etc.
My wife needs the PC platform so I can't sell it. Neither would I want to. Although I use Mac I would feel lost without my Windows box. Why? No clue.
I was born on a vic-20 nurtured in DOS, grew up hating Macs until I HAD to use one in class. Grew to really like 2000 for its stability. XP I like because its "new" (for whatever that may be worth)
I love 'tooling around' in a PC. Taking it apart cleaning the dust out of it (I can hear Mitsu thinking), and putting it back together.
I agree that working in FlashMX 2004 environment in Windows is MUCH faster. There's alot of shortcut keys missing in the Mac side (or I just haven't found them).
3d Studio is better on PC because well...it just doesnt seem to want to install on a mac. he he.
Maya seems more stable on PC although I like the interface on the Mac better.
I have the Macs set up set for particular roles in the project development cycle and wanted to hear everybody's input as to what role the PC should have.
Anybody else here right in the middle of the two (actually trying to find a use for Linux - twist my words not) - three OS platforms and have friends of extremists on both sides? Gets to be a damned headache, yeah?

What are we discussing again? You're trying to find a use for the pc, yet your wife uses it?
"Man, I don't know what to do with my car, i don't know why i have it but i use it everyday..."

Just do what you do.... stop trying to be Jack of all trades master of one. Hey maybe you can install scientific DNA software to play with while your working of web,print,3D,audio,video,softwar... development and what ever else you do with your cracked software you got from Kazaa...
There you go- the PC is good for KaZaa.
Why not just let your wife use it and so be it.

did i say or just think that flash runs better on pc??
nevermind.

Flash MX runs better on PC

by the way, its totally impossible to write the words PC and MAC in the same thread without having a lil' war.
But iam sure you all already know that :D

If you need to connect to an exchange server, if you want decent accounting software, or are into investing the software for the PC is much better. That's not to say the PC is better but that the developers have favored the platform.

probably true, but not for long i think..
