A mac osx is better than a desktop computer

REBUTTALS: ----------------------------------------- (Due to the nature of my rebuttals, they will be in a different order than the argument that are addressed at. ) QUOTE: "In round 1, my opponent states that Vista stinks. Well, *SOURCE* states that Windows 7 is basically Vista with a few fixes. If you hate Vista, you hate Windows 7, thus leaving you hate Windows. " I love that you used an article that was written four months before the actually release of Windows 7 and judging by what's written, the journalist who wrote that article hadn't even used the Beta. Windows 7 is infinately more advanced than Vista, while still being completely user friendly. Here are two lists of the best features of Windows 7 [1] [2] if you don't believe me. PRICE: --------------------------------- Well, well. This is definately an interesting position to take. While it is true that Snow Leopard or OSX 10.6 (which is based on Unix, which is open-source, moving on. .. ) is cheaper than 7, I can't for the life of me work out where you got your $129 figure for Apples from. Rather I would compare these two $800 computers, one a Macbook [3] and one is a Toshiba [4]. Every specification of the Toshiba is better. VIRUSES ------------------------------------- "Viruses destroyed my Windows computer" This is almost impossible, but perhaps your CPU fan was shut down by a virus, causing your computer to die. This is irrelevent. The fact is, that most viruses and malware are caught by people doing something they shouldn't. Any decent virus protection software (like the type built into OSX, but provided by third parties for Windows) will protect you. If, you are doing something you shouldn't AND you don't have any virus protection, there are usually signs that something is wrong and ample time to find a solution. If you let it go for a long enough amount of time, your computer might die. More than likely, someone like me could fix it anyway. Anyway, if someone was so foolish as to allow that to happen, they should be given an abacus instead of a computer. GAMES: --------------------------------- "Please drop topic. " I think it's entirely relevent that Windows has infinitely more software avaliable than Mac. The reason that this is possible is part of the reason that the Windows enviroment more vulnerable. You don't understand what I'm saying? I basically paraphrased what your own article said. .. Moving on. CONCLUSION: Windows 7 has been out for over 12 months now. The few early bugs have been smoothed out and a whole bunch of drivers for older hardware have been released. Why? Because Windows 7 has the same specifications as Vista, while being a superior and generally more pleasant piece of software to use. I've shown that while it's true that OS X is stronger, security-wise, than Windows, the fact that an overwelming amount of publicly desired software is unavaliable for Macs is the main and strongest strike against Apple. Security is a null argument anyway, because using some common-sense and freely avaliable software, one can completely protect 7, while being able to choose from the vastly superior range of games and applications.
