What do Apple-lovers have against Windows-based PCs?

Question

I've never understood the animosity Mac-lovers have against Windows-based PCs. The only reason I can think is Microsoft overcharges, plus they have a Monopoly. But quality-wise, Windows works pretty good (I'm referring to XP and 7) as long as the computer is fast enough. What makes Windows so much worse quality-wise than Mac OS. Please tell me, I'd like to know.

Answer 1

Lol, this made me laugh



First of all, Apple simply overcharges, period. You get much more power and performance per dollar with a PC. Secondly, Apple has the monopoly here. No one else makes Mac computers besides Apple, therefore they charge whatever they want. With Windows based PCs, you have many different companies producing their computers thus the competition drives the prices down. And you are not necessarily limited to using Windows either since they can run Linux. On Macs, you are limited to their hardware configuration and your only option is Mac OS (native)



KT: Photoshop, etc are the exact SAME programs for both platforms. The Apple graphics thing is a myth. Graphics are dependent on the video card your system has, and the resolution of your monitor (and I might add that Windows PCs often have superior model cards)



Vista is actually a very stable system. It is however a resource hog

Answer 2

I don't know either. I have friends with Macs (and/or iPhones) and often get an earful of venom about how they hate PCs and they have a Mac because it's easy, and don't I want a Mac too.



To which I can only say.. "uhm... no."



I got the same earful from people I knew who bought gaming consoles and 'why do you still game on a PC' nonsense.



Macs have their own issues, as do PCs. If there is a room filled with 100 people, 10 of whom have Macs and 90 of whom have Windows PCs, and all of them have an error, guess what you hear more?



I don't have anything against the Mac. Seems like a nice machine if you have that much money to shell out and don't care about the flexibility of the system or hardware - the Mac equivalent of my system would easily run twice as much as my homebuilt PC.



But I am irritated by the Mac evangelists who have had a big crispy bowl of Fanatic-O's and want to tell me how my beloved PC sucks because they have a new, shiny, expensive system with planned obsolescence built right in.



No. Go away. Two years from now when their system won't run the latest whatever I will replace my processor and keep going.

Answer 3

buy a Mac Apple system to run Microsoft Windows programs

Answer 4

Nothing wrong with it, they buy a Mac Apple system to run Microsoft Windows programs.

Answer 5

1. Apples have fewer problems than PCs, especially those with Windows Vista

2. They are a lot better for graphics (photoshop, illustrator, etc).

3. When you call because on some freak occasion there is a problem, you call the Apple tech support, and someone who understands English answers, and the problem is fixed quickly.

Answer 6

Because Windows is wide open to attack by viruses and malware whereas Apple Mac is not.

Answer 7

Because it is made by Microsoft and not Apple.

Answer 8

It's like the bloods and the crips.

RETARTED!



Some people just can't handle change.
