MAC vs PC vs Linux

[///MPower]

Yes, but Macs aren't cheap either. I've never seen a Php15k cheapass desktop or a 40k laptop from Apple. (all right, 25k and 50k for the legit stuff ) The PC market isn't just the Dell mid-end stuff.

Granted, they don't have an ultra-economy product line, that's not an issue. If you are looking for a super low end computer, you wouldn't be looking at any of Apple's competitors either. For the equipment (perhaps even software) you get with a Mac, a Mac is no more expensive than a PC.

Uhhh, I don't get it. And isn't that Media Access Control?

You're right. My bad.

Windows costs $$$$. A Mac system costs $$$$. (Piracy stuff aside, obviously!)

What's your point? Is someone somewhere giving away PC's and copies of Windows for the PC's and even GAMES, for that matter, away for free? Everything costs money. Thanks for pointing that out.

If you can live with just one, why do you have to have the other!

That doesn't even make sense. My point is that you can have both Windows and OS X, not that you must. Maybe you're happy just using one system; you need to consider some would like to not have to deal with viruses and spyware and crashing systems for the most part, and once in a while play a computer game. Dual booting means you don't have to choose between them.

Windows. From Windows 2000. Decent. But not amazing.
iPod. All versions. Decent. But not amazing.

Now you're getting it. Except replace "Windows 2000. Decent" with "Windows NT, fundamentally flawed design that no amount of patching will ever fix, no matter how many times they rebrand it as 2000 or XP." I could go on about how security on every version of Windows is a joke, but I'll save you the boring tech rant.
