		<description>Some posts are unbelievable - everybody should work with what he/r is most attracted to. Couple of years ago I would have said - Apple? naaa can&#039;t be better. Now I know better and I&#039;m saying that because I have switched everything I do to Mac. But again - if somebody likes the looks and handling of a PC - so be it. What I cannot stand is people talking about stuff they have never tried or touched.</description>

		<description>Answer to Baboo:



You are wrong! Microsoft sold 150 million Vista licenses to the market! Not to customers!



150 million Vista licenses != 150 million Vista installations



Some experts say, 3/4 of all vista licences are &quot;not in use&quot;</description>

		<description>Microsoft sold 150 million Vista licenses in 15 months = 10 million per month = 333k per day = 13,880 per hour.



10,000 new Macs in 5 years = 10,000 new Vistas in 43 minutes



If they&#039;re switching 1 MILLION Macs = 3 days of Windows Vista



If they&#039;re switching 10 MILLION Macs = 30 days of Windows Vista



Conclusion: 10,000 new Macs = nothing</description>

		<description>Macs have a smaller TCO than Windows machines due to better security and other factors. Mac OS X runs faster than Windows on equivalent hardware. Due to a lack of spaghetti code needed to maintain backwards compatibility. This also means a lower hardware spec is required to run a Mac at the same speed as a typical Win system which makes an equally fast Mac a little cheaper to buy.



For those with no clue there is Windows. For those with a brain (and some taste) there is the Mac).</description>

		<description>Apple Cinema Display = $599                                  Base model Mac pro = $2,799              New suit for my buddy to show me his new Mac setup = $300



The look on my buddy&#039;s face when I tell him I just got done building a custom PC thats twice as fast for nearly half as much money = priceless



For those stuck in the late 80&#039;s early 90&#039;s mentality that Macs are faster there is Mac



For everyone else there is PC</description>

&quot;Mac&#039;s&quot; = Macs

		<description>&quot;Those 10k seats = not much of a dent to MS.&quot;



You don&#039;t understand. MS can&#039;t stand ANY loss. &quot;All must know that resistance is futile.&quot; If word gets out that it&#039;s possible to do without Windows, people will switch. Believe me, chairs are being thrown over this.</description>

		<description>&quot;LOL! Ahhh FINALLY Apple is getting more componies and corporations onto their side. Microsoft, one word. OWNED!&quot;



Not picking a side here - I work with Mac&#039;s and Windows equally in my position; But really folks please at least run a spell checker, assuming you cant spell - before posting some inane comment about how much you hate Microsoft and love Apple.  Apple is just another business (like Microsoft but with less market share), one that has done well for itself considering where it has been - and hopefully they are the competition that will drive Microsoft to improve their products so that we have options and more innovation.



However saying &quot;Microsoft, one word. OWNED&quot; is somewhat silly.  Those 10k seats = not much of a dent to MS.



And by the way it is spelled companies throughout the English speaking world.</description>
