hah, ignorant people. You think mac's don't get viruses? wow… Mac… It just works, but for some reason they still have a support site. Come on, shut up with your retarded biases… face the facts, macs aim at the "cool" market, they suck in the workplace. Once I heard about their new laptop I sold all of my stock I had in them. You can't change the battery on your own, no rj-45… Sick…

For the benefits to the consumer, I hope that Apple isn't that far ahead for very much longer.

I saw a video of Steve Jobs once where he said something like "people who love to make software should make their own hardware"

Apple doesn't just make part of the solution and palm it off to hardware companies to figure out how to make it work.

You can't buy a Microsoft computer, or phone, just other companies stuff that runs their OS.

Apple is not only innovating in the software but also in the hardware that supports it.

They are far more than a year ahead.

OSX Tiger is still ahead of vista, and Leopard is even better again!

A friend of mine built his own "ultimate" PC with all the bells and whistles and my macbook blows it out of the water in terms of usability, reliability and speed.

When you're due to buy a new computer don't look at specs or price….go and use them, try them out.

You'll go home with a mac and a smile!

Destructive relationships don't help anyone in this industry, that's why Apple and Microsoft will sometimes work as partners on specific projects. Back in the days there were some patent disputes between Apple and Microsoft which brought the two companies closer together. Take the Apple II for example, Steve Wosniak (Jobs's X partner) wrote the best basic code for this computer, but the problem was it was all fixed point. At that time Apple turned to Microsoft, because MS had a very popular and very good floating point basic, which Apple ended up using. By the way, it was Bill Gates who started a software company before anyone had any idea what a software company was. Microsoft and Apple worked very closely together to develop the software for the Apple II computer, and to this day both companies are still turning to each other for help. Take the XBox 360 for example, Microsoft put in the biggest order of G5 Mac Pros, which were used as a platform for the console development. So, both companies being extremely successful is because of cooperation and not bashing each other as many readers seem to be doing here

We just got an IMac in August! $ for $ it far outstrips any PC we've owned. For cost, speed, and ease of operation! Our Daughter in Law has used Mac's forever as a Catalogue Designer and wondered why it took us so long to buy one!
