Then he's a man that'll be stuffed if Apple slip up somewhere. I found MacOS to be quite slow actually, I still like it, but it's not as fast as I'd remembered..and it really does crash. It takes hours worth of video projects with it too...never trust the rest of your group to actually save the work when you wander off to look at the new iHat.

Windows VS MacOS - For me MacOS, it never crashes, has a beautiful feel, its fast and most important easy to use and user friendly. It tells you when it has a problem. Doesn't just say 'error-291'.

And Steve Jobs wins the lower one, he works for Mac for free now, insisting that he doesnt need the money because he doesn't believe in following a monkeys footsteps. He also works for free and enjoys his job... going into the book of world records for this as well. WHAT A MAN. *cries*

MicroSoft don't actually make any hardware beyond peripherals, which are actually quite nice.

The you don't know what you are talking about.

Hah! Not even Reaper would agree to that. Microsoft slowed down the PC market we have, we lost good companies like Netscape because of Microsoft. Apple work solo and are a super company. I can side with Reaper, I like taking a hammer to my PC and seeing what its insides look like..... thats what makes them so much fun. Trying to fix them!

If I was ever in Steve Ballmer's position, I'm sure I would end up doing something like that..anyway, I say again, I like PCs, I don't really like Windows or Microsoft apps, there are alternatives..but as a pc hardware geek, it's my sworn duty to poke fun at macs, especially ones that look like hats.
