Let's not forget our good old friend Mr Bill Gates. He has a MacBook Pro and a iMac 24"

and Steve Jobs have the latest Win7 in his new Mac Pro... :)

they are not competing, they are not doing the same job...

I've got several macs, windows based computer,s and a linux box or two sitting around.

Somebody in this thread is just a bit too enamored with Apple. :eek:

For the Mac fans, you should thank Xerox. ;)

you talk about me ?!

you dare looking at me ?!

come on, give some reason why you would choose a Windows desktop IF you know both platforms equally... (because 99% of PC fans never even touched a Mac keyboard, so how compare)

All my computers run Windows. Don't really have a need or a desire to run anything else. Only Linux machine in the house is the DVR and only because it had Linux embedded already. Switched the home file server to Windows Home Server instead of Linux.

Work.. Maybe it doesn't matter in Web Development which platform that you use. However I switched from Macs to Windows based PCs when I was doing heavy work in the Banking and Insurance agencies doing C and C++ programming. Simply were not any development companies in Los Angeles that were using Macintoshes. Design companies were but not development companies. Since then I haven't touched a Mac and have no real desire to.

You sure I can not com to your house and sleep in your linux box?

for the Ferrari fans, you should thanks Ford...

please stop the rememberances... you talk about features or not... tsss

[high]* nexialys thanks Xerox, for the day one... day two, Bill Gates was to be thanked... he told Jobs he would provide a OS... damn, he lied...[/high]

THAT is an opinion... people comparing features are not in the right path... Wayne compare the needs, that's the only thing we need to compare.. :)

Ouch! sorry to hurt you Mr Nexi... but I'm not the guy that make ppl fall on their logic, 'me not time to spare on who said what...'
statics show that almost 70% in the world uses PCs and that public institutions prefer PCs over Macs... this is an artificial 'antagonist behavior' PC vs Mac... who was first the chicken or the egg...
even Mac never did the revolution caused for the Sony Walkman and everybody knows ENIAC on this biz :) [almost everybody]

*No Mac involved*

You've just proven my point.

In the online world, it can be fine to be agnostic and use different platforms for development since it should not matter. In the rest of the business world, it is primarily a PC/Windows environment. We have a few Macs floating around the company here but mostly for testing & for some graphics applications; that's it. Everything else is PC based.
