Windows, you get more bang for your buck with a PC.

I cant stand Mac OS, we have to use it at tech and it's a pain in the arse to navagate round. Half the things we do I could do in 1/4 the time at home on a PC just because windows is quicker to get round.

I guess in relative terms, Mac's are like Lotus' and PC's are like Honda's.

There's not much aftermarket support for Lotus, but the cars are damn nice.
There's HEAPS of aftermarket support for Honda's, from things that (try and) make them go faster to blinging them out, except they're unreliable :P
Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.

Linux is an OS for guys who get sex about as often as they want to reboot their OS. I.E once every 2 years.

Mac OSX is an OS for guys who get sex very regularly, but always with other men.

Windows is for people who dont need to use their computer OS choice as an e-penis-extension, since they're already quite happy with their length and girth thank you very much ;)

How exactly did you come to that conclusion?

Not really true as I have sex in intervals shorter than 2 years and I would love for everything to run on Linux.

I use Windows though because it is user friendly and fast and can play most games on it.

Mac I hate in any form or varient of the O/S. I would luv to be able to strangle the c**t who made it...

the thing with linux, everyone thinks that it is indestructible and windows is so shit that shit itself will shit in the site of shit from shitty windows's shittiness of shit.

but the only people who use linux are people who know enough about computers not to fcuk everything up.

Abosolutely bang on. Linux only thrives I think, because there's so many people out there with a passion for hating Windows!

Like it or lump it, Windows is where it's at for compatibility and gaming.

im a mac operator for work but got PC at home.

for those who say windows for ease of use? why?
mac OSX is soo much prettier than windows XP. everything is smoother, nicely rendered, stylish. and much less issues.

if ya on a budget which we all are then PC is ya option, otherwise a mac mini is the alternative which is pretty reasonably priced as it comes with the OS+programs

So true, much more stable, you really have to be trying to $&#$% something up real good to crash OSX, ive had very few times where ive had to reboot.

especially for multimedia programs (adobe design programs, finalcutpro,protools,macromedia suite), Mac is the way to go.

gaming, stick with a PC, or buy a PS2 :P (not a xbox)
