Nope you are correct, it turns out macs are shit. one thing though, youve made a pc that has no problems and hasn't crashed in 5 years, so id go into business if i were you! you are obviously a master, as no pc in the world is this reliable! seriously though, the balls you are coming out with... windows alows plug and play, it takes an hour to get anything working on a pc! a mac just works!

Whoa this last guy is a dedicated windows guy. These commercials are clever, but the main reason people buy macs is because they were simply told to do so. Yes its brainwashing. I'm neither a mac or pc guy, I think its best not to associate with any; all in all its just a tool. They both have their ups and downs. However the tools that come from apple are way overpriced and thats why I don't bother with getting one.

Worms can, and are capable of, using your modem in order to call expensive numbers, resulting in massive phone bills. They can erase your entire hard drive clean, including your operating system, any files or photos you may have, essentially destorying your computer. Worms can and will log keystrokes to steal passwords, credit details, etc. Worms also install a "backdoor" to allow unathourised access to your system without your knowledge or consent. They can reinstall after being disabled.

I better add - Mac users reading this, a Worm is NOT a Virus, they are two different things. A worm is far more dangerous, a lot harder to clean off your system, and can account for damage to your personal life as well as your machine. They are compatible with any operating system including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and other platforms. Worms don't just damage your hard drive like an average virus. Worms can do all sorts of things, and they DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE EXECUTED TO RUN.

There you, 10 reasons why Windows is better than Mac, and I didn't even have to pause to think between each point. It's fact. There are so many advantages that Windows has, and you can't even see it. Unless you can find a valid point and a decent argument against every single point and make a point of your own to outnumber mine - you just got owned.

9. Mac OS X is not allowed to be run on Windows. It can be done with plenty of hacks, but this is very complicated and illegal. Windows however is allowed to be used on a Mac. People who can't afford a MacBook or Computer have to stick with Windows, and they can't use Apple-Only software such as Final Cut Pro, if they wanted too. 10. Mac has absolutely NO security against a Virus or Worm should they get one. It is rare, but Worms on Macs account for more than 4% of the worlds largest botnet.

8. Software is more abundant for Windows. Yes - there are THOUSANDS of products now cross-compatible with Mac and PC. But old programs (good classics that people still use) and some programs created by individuals sometimes only run on Windows. For example, console emulators are more abundant, and more advanced for Windows. Freeware and shareware is also more in supply. Also, Microsoft releases almost all software for Mac AND Windows. Apple very rarely share their software.

7. Mac computers have no variety. They all look exactly the same. White, or very rarely black. You can't alter their appearance. "But who wants to? They're beaitiful!" Thats a very immature one-sided opinion. Everyone has different tastes, and some people like to be creative - like the Apple ads like to make out we are. PC's come in all shapes and sizes, you can even get mini PC's now, and you can buy different cases on the market for a cheap price.
