Saw hobbit's post in the other thread... didn't think I should have replied it there so have started a new thread.
Where are all the MAC users, i cant believe we are that out numbered.
I have been using Windows since like the beginning, but when Vista came out, I could not stand it. so damn slow, unless you have the fastest PC on the market. So I got a mac to try, they are brilliant, admittedly the software isnt as freely available, but they are so reliable!. I cant believe there arent more mac users here
@hobbit - Apparantly we're the only 2 users here ! Been using Windows since its first version and Dos before that.
BTW... you'd be surprised at what s/w is available for the OSX out there... you just have to look :). I got everything I need very easily.
I'd said earlier on some post here, that almost 1 year on I was still not 100% comfortable with OSX... I can now say that I'm equally comfortable with both... Win/OSX.
And lastly... OSX crashes too. The good thing is that it doesn't take the whole system down with it. It is also not so highly succeptible to viruses/trojans simply due to the requirement of admin privs for any installation - something which Vista has also incorporated now... which bizzarly most people turn off !!
The OSX still remains an OS for the artists... or for video/audio editing. There is an immense potential for business applications as well. But there's no Bill Gates to take it to every desktop in the planet. Steve does a good Job (sic), but, he's no Bill Gates.
Having said all that... I shall quote myself again : The Mac & OSX are like a Ferrari - a bit impractical, but tremendous fun to drive.
