Lightbulb Windows Vs Mac (My Point outs on Vista As Well for people that hate it)

1. Windows
- Strong parts -
Most widely used, More Widely selection of programs and games, programs to protect the system.
- Weak parts -
Hackers, Spyware, Spam, Trojan virus, being used by morons
2. Mac
- Strong parts -
Not Widely Used Which makes it more safe(hackers don't wast there time), Good In Media Deigns
- Weak parts -
Not a high selection of programs out, incompatible with most Windows Based Devices or programs.
For Worn Curseing at me Is pointless. im putting out my rights to freedom of speech and voicing my opinions. Dont like what you see don't type just leave. don't be childish.


In short Macs i believe are a wast of money. you get more for your shaa-bang
getting a windows system. Yeah Yeah whoopy due there not any virus or anything on macs. they only do that to sound good because they where looser to began with. its common since what a hacker gonna do. attack the majority users, which is Windows Based users. sad fact is most of those users are Computer Retards. don't know how to protect there system so when there a virus or spy ware. yeah its there fault. not windows. windows only has more virus, Trojans, and so on. because hackers put more time into making programs designed to attack windows. but some of you that cry like babies about windows being attack is because you visit the wrong sites which i can see as clear as a bell which are gonna hurt the system. and can protect your system. using simple software and keeping it up to date you be surprised how much that makes a different. these programs include Firewall programs (dont wine that you hear bad reviews that its annoying. it only there to stop unknown programs or things to gain connection to the system it being annoying is a small price to pay then havering your system be slow down to where its acting like it has a 100Mhz CPU or files are being Damaged or pops up are happing every sec you hit the X.) Others Is Spam\Spy ware and Virus scanners and live protection scan. so what it slows the system when it dose live scans on incoming data to make sure it safe. it be allot slower if unsafe files got control. and these programs you hardly notice slow downs. if you do you using something thats not real supported or your low on Ram.

for people wondering what i use that keeps my system safe i use ZoneAlarm Security. it comes with it all its pretty user friendly to a existence. there are fees such as havening to buy a new key after time as past but oh well your on this site your more likely a pirate. i mean you mostly here to watch Anime that was granted to be posted by the owners, so you can keep inserting Keygens.

" Windows Safety Tip : When Downloading Cracks and keygens there high odds one of them can be fakes. most the time you can tell looking at the file size. they usly make them pretty simple and tiny size where there only coding to connect and start a background download of the bad files. these are usly like 650kb cracks should usly be about the same size or around about from the file you override when you apply the crack. which are usly like 15Mb. For say a exp one program. the folder containing the install there the start.exe file which may read say, 17Mb the crack file may read about the same or a bit more or a tad less. but its its way different say like 650Kb its more likely a Trojan. same for keygens there more hard to tell but they should be more likely real if there bigger then 1Mb but can still be Trojans. you more likely have better luck downloading keys in .txt files. there safe and only allow text. and no harmful content (cept maybe to links to other sites.so use your noodle lol) it may also help to keep a version of say "Virtual PC made by Microsoft which you can set up a small virtual drive with a Copy of Windows Xp installed and put the files your unsure about into s share folder and transfer them over to the virtual one and try to use them. it if effects the virtual system in a bad way your main system should be safe. you can easily reinstall XP on the virtual pc in know time to be ready later on. you can pretty much just spare of 10Gbs which is pretty easy today with allot of bigger drives to set up virtual PC. i say use XP cuz it don't use much ram as Vista dose now with there new new system. Virtual PC good for ruining test installs on Windows OS but other such as Linux i would use VirtualBox which is also freeware. "


For People that Hate Vista they Say. no Driver, or there driver issues, or its slow, and all these Errors, its pretty simple. yep.. your faults. your all doing what happen to XP when it first came out. Vista is STILL NEW! Microsoft dose not own ever set up type someone has of there system. well you say they did those public betas. not enough! not everyone joins in on those. so when they put out vista it was a start version. When errors happen it helps to send in the error to Microsoft. if the issue is hardware. its good to send a error report to both Microsoft and the hardware manufactures. thats where the services packs come in. With Fixes and some changes to help Vista Run better. but the job is never done. they will keep working putting out some update fixes as they go and do major ones in service packs. so its best Vista uses update there system from Windows Update, and keep your hardware drivers up to date from your hardwares manufactures site. Also best if your gonna spend the money to get Vista to Update your system do. get some parts that are vista ready. Some older hardware may never have driver written for Vista due to the hardware being old and the support drooped for the device. sad fact but thats life. things advance get over it. Macs do the same. cant say a old mac from say 1997 would run Mac OS 10. or hardware from it would work if at all. gotta advance to stay with the updates of life.

I think Microsoft Gotten way better in stabilizing there OS since Windows 98 hell you would have no reason and that OS just Blue Screen. same with Windows ME. but then they never really finished Windows ME. lol but they started getting way better when Windows 2000 was released. it was made mainly for working applications and not games and such. but it was a strong platform for the upcoming OS's such as Server2003 and Xp. and i think that strong base is still used and well in Vista. When i first installed it yeah i had a issue. a blue screen that talked about phys memory flush. then a reboot. sometimes that can happen out of the blue but don't want too see it happing all the time. well mine was the happening all the time. but when i started using it i just got ram. the error on the blue screen supported the issue maybe a faulty ram stick. i took it out returned it for another. and put it in. and waa laa. i was right. since then same system hardware and all. its been running like a dream. no issues what so ever. i was smart looking at hardware detail before i bought hardware that Vista was supported. yeah ram stick was a set back you get crap once in a while. a bad piece, nothing to point at and say your hardware picking sucks. i replaced it for another ram stick of the same model and type and size. and now its fine. just a bad egg the other was.

Im happy with my Windows Based System running Vista. i got tons of programs i like installed and pretty much all would not even work on a Mac. mainly because they where never made to run on macs. kind like back to the hacker deal. don't wanna wast there time. I think with the proper safety and hardware for a PC system you get allot more for your money. Computers i know may sound or maybe even be more maintenance but thats the sad fact when its more widely used in the world and is being hit more by hackers or the user doing something stupid.

Also don't go cursing at me for this post only show that your being childish. however you have a right to voice what you think about Mac Vs PC. just don't be dissing me because i voice my freedom right to my opinion on the Mac Vs Windows. Some of my statements maybe wrong about macs. so what i don't use the useless things. and by useless i mean it wouldn't be able to do what i want it to do. Windows i know dose. and thats what matters.

Were you bored when you wrote this? Lol hella much xD But yeah. And you had the same problem with windows as i have it seems O.O Mine is a daily reboot too. lol.
But what you said about trojans and virus from keygens and cracks, also true xD I was downloading Photoshop yesterday and looking for a keygen. Well, lol. God Bless AVG ^^ It seemed almost all the keygens i downloaded was virus and trojans. So people, get a firewall, spyware scanner, a anti virus program, maybe also check for rootkit sometimes and bam that should be it. Well that's how i run my Vista. Working fine ^^

Too long for me to read, I just woke up :-\ ....

Good to see some analysis of Windows vs Mac tho.

As for viruses, etc, you just have to know what you're downloading and don't look at porn... Porn is the leading cause for spyware/adware/viruses.

I've had my Windows system running for 3 weeks straight so far and no errors have occured where I needed to reboot.

If you have ever owned a mac with OS X on it, you will know that a mac own windows any day of the week, the only fallbacks are: incompatible with most MP3 players, alot less games. But for games, the ones built for a mac run faster then thier windows counterpart (DX is the past OpenGL FTW). you can find a good 95% of programs have a mac counterpart, or another companie that macs a program compatible with the files.

Macs are 100x a more superior machine, they run faster with the same hardware, and have 100x less crashes, spyware, viruses, exploints, and are much better for networking then a PC is.

EDIT: and macs supports 128gb of ram since OS X, no need for some shitty ass 64-bit version which works with barely any software or games.

Is this coming from just personal experience/bias or from actual benchmarks?

Also, the OS's are universal IIRC... OS X can be loaded on a pc machine, windows can be loaded on a mac, etc.

At the moment of this day in age i see little need for such high ram. hell even normal 32 bits people can be fine at 4Gbs. and you can get the same games to run on 64-bit system if you have the right things installed. just gotta know how to do it. and again they have less spyware and virus and exploits because there losers hackers don't wast there time. lol there is nothing really wrong with the PC cept it dose more so you get more bang for your buck. counterpart programs. no one wants that crap. they want what they seen been used or what there use too. like tell someone to drop Dr Pepper and start Drinking Dr Thunder. Taste the same as Dr Pepper. no it don't! lol.

I have one question, if OS X can be loaded onto any pc.
can someone find me it in a live disk form or atleast a version so that when i load up my pc i can choose between XP, OS X and Ubuntu. if ya can please p.m me.

to put in my opinion i think macs are much better machines, i do not have\ one but if i had the money id get one straight away.
i mean why have a pc when u can have a much faster/better mac which can run xp/vista/ or any linux base os anyway?

if you can get it to run on PC. i haven't looked into it. but i assume it be the same as having Linux and XP on there. just have a nice Size hard drive and partition it into the need amount of drives. and install one on each of that drive. it should auto pop up which OS to load. thats how i do it between Linux and Xp on my laptop. but i haven't looked into put a Mac on a PC. best bet is try searching Mac on PC set up on Google or see if there someone thats done it. but since it wasn't meant to run on macs. i find there be allot of issue with hardware.

google project OSx86 and you can see there how to get OSX running on a PC, dubbed 'Hackintosh', but remember that it does NOT work on all hardware, and that this could fuck up your machine good, so only do it if you have installed OSes before, a few more times then needed, and can follow directions 1:1.

First of all, dude Yakblabbler can you make your sig um smaller because err...it's making the page like huge and it's so annoying reading your post with the scrolling left right up down and all around lol.


There are videos on this just put in like Mac vs Windows xp or something and say windows start up and windows shut down and other comparisons too
