Windows is better than Mac

1. Runs on all the hard ware! Mac actually has better hardware then Windows. They have been shown to made out of stronger metals and plastics and last much longer then its PC. (this also relates to point 3). It has also been shown its internal parts are stronger and less susceptible to damage then their Windows opponents [5]. (don't ask why the footnotes are out of order) And its a LIE when you say it cannot be customized. You can buy the default, sure, but online you can actually change what comes with the mac, etc. So instead of doing it yourself you can get it done, and again all these parts are less susceptible to damage [6]. Mac is just as good on hardware, and more durable making it better, then a PC. 2. More software This is for documents and such, correct? This argument is now invalid as Mac has many programs that either come in a package with the updates or you can buy other products. One examples is parallels, which mimics a Windows computer. Another is bootcamp, which is literally Windows on a mac. Best of both worlds—and you ration the amount of memory you want on it—making life easy [1][2]. These applications mean you can do things only Windows can do, but on a mac. And then you can do things only macs can do on the... mac. No mac programs have come out for windows, and as I later explain Mac does things windows has never had an edge in. Further, if you are only interested in, say, word documents, there are comparability modules that can be installed on the old versions of Microsoft office products and the newer ones are more in sync with Windows now [3]. So, in reality, Macs just as compatible because with these programs (Boot camp comes with Leopard as I recall) the point is effectively negated. And, Bootcamp was actually made by Windows and sold to Mac meaning its reliable [4]. 3. Cost I actually cannot argue it costs less. However cheaper =/= better. Mac is much higher quality. First, Macs get less viruses and therefore are less of a hassle, and later I show all the benefits Macs have make them worth the money [7]. Oh and remember how I proved Macs have better parts? Well Macs last literally for years. I personally have one from 2004 I think, and it works just as well now as it did then... seems slow now as I have newer macs though haha. I have seen many others last for long lengths of time. And guess what? When a PC breaks... you need a new one. Lets use your data: mac lasts for years... PC breaks, 500+500 = 1000, you said a Mac costs 700-1000, therefore the cost is the same, or the mac is slightly cheaper. ===Benefits of Macs=== ***Professionals prefer Macs*** "It's not just how fast it runs benchmarks. It's mostly because it just runs without the viruses, spam, crashes and constant need for support, reboots, upgrades, defrags and maintenance without which Windows simply stops working after a few weeks. I only have to reboot my desktop Mac when I return from a trip during which I turned it off! It runs smoothly for months at a time. . . . [Windows give] [n]o backtalk, no stupid popup boxes in meaningless technical gibberish, no viruses, no slow operation, no spy ware, no crashes, no complex installations, no reloading operating systems, no taking 5 minutes just to turn off, no nothing except getting stuff done. . . . Everything just makes sense on Mac. This becomes even more obvious after learning the Mac properly and forgetting the six-finger Windows work-around's you used when you first upgraded."[8] Summary: 1) faster, 2) easier to use, and 3) Less viruses ***Developers prefer macs*** "According to a recent Evans Data survey, Mac operating systems have surpassed Linux in popularity as a development environment in North America."[9] Linux used to be number one, and as Mac surpassed it this means Mac wins. Conclusion: Vote CON, resolution negated. Also, when I write in DDO and not on word, I seem to source spam and quote more. [1] http://www.pcworld.com... [2] http://www.parallels.com...
