macs suck., pcs rule. Options

[sadolakced acid]

well, really, it's just a friendly mac v pc thread, and i know it's been posted before, but really, more people will click here if i name it 'macs suck'

my beef with macs-

i used mac OS way back when. bad experiences. not too much a legitimate reason today, but a reason none the less.

but the major one:

proprietary.

i don't know about now, but i know before that everything apple makes, they make it proprietary if they can.

for example, a PC owner can easily upgrade thier optical drive. they could pop in some more memory, or add in a new sound card.

now, sure, mac hardware may be good already, but you won't deny it's not the best, that would be much too expensive.

and as time goes by, it means the only way to upgrade is with a totally new computer.

i mean, sure, it works fine for people who don't want to be bothered to upgrade thier computers, and for the average user, macs are probably pretty good.

but i can't be hassled to buy a new comptuer if i want a CD burner and don't have one.

now, maybe apple has changed and i'm not up with the times. but irregardlessly, i severly dislike and avoid any company that insists on proprietary measures at any time.

which is why i do, and probably always will, hate apple.

ive really yet to figure out how plugging in a camera to a PC is that hard... it doesnt even need drivers yet its attacked in one of those mac vs pc ads. meh wtvr

i think the reason the mac vs pc debate is so bad is mainly cause of apple. there arent THAT many differences between the two. and i doubt so many PC users would really go out of their way to attack the mac if unprovoked. Apple seems to be an expert at provoking the PC base. with those mac vs PC ads, its not a matter of "we highlight these great parts of the Mac and OSX" its "we'll bash and say everything that is bad about the PC, and then support our product." its not just coporate practice but also public image that is really arrogant and bad.

id rather this thread be made into an apple sucks thread.
tho i find if funny. 2 years ago everyone that was anti microsoft was also anti bill gates. it was a bill vs steve world. now... you really cant hate gates anymore. so wheres the fun in that anymore?
