Mac vs PC for IM ?

macs are fucking awful for anything unless all you do is write emails. i have one and the only way it's at all useful is if i run windows on it. i could have gotten the same specs on a pc laptop for half the price.
they are subpar computers and the only reason people buy them is because they think they look cooler with an apple product. there is literally NOTHING that macs do better than pc's, and plenty of things they do much, much worse.

been using Apple since I was 2, never had anything else in my house so it's not like I do it for the "cool factor". windows is the most unstable, unreliable operating system, but what's an example of what a mac does "much much worse"?
someone correct me if I'm wrong here but
one of the main reasons I'm buying a mac (a very good mac pro, 8 cores) is so I can multi-task like a motherfucker. All hardware pc-vs-mac issues aside (considering you can multitask on a good machine regardless of pc or mac), the thing I am attracted to about mac is that it seems built for multitasking. you can have dreamweaver, 40 firefox tabs, photoshop, itunes/foobar, ftp, and a million other things running all at once w/o having 1000 things to sort through in the task bar. basically you can just leave the shit running all the time and not have it be cluttered - and it all sits neatly in the bottom buttons, waiting to be accessed quickly, cause its already open. that part i really like, i know you can get widgets and all that shit for pc but seems just better overall on mac

It's had it's bumps in the past. XP was OK, and Vista was so bad that it drove me to Linux full time. Windows 7 pulled me back, MS actually got it right finally!
There's nothing unstable/unreliable about 7. I've been running 7 for several weeks now and haven't found anything. It just works, and works well.
7 is getting off easy because it's faster than vista; it's still slower than XP, OSX, Linux, and BSD
Pretty awful rebuttal. In osx i can barely tell what programs are running. In 7 i can hover over the program icon and see thumbnails of all the open windows and select the one i want. Doesn't get easier than that.
How can you barely tell? It's not that hard, that's kind of a lame reason. as for seeing active windows, we have Expose for that, and have had it for a while, you hit one button, no need to even move the mouse, or you can set it as a mouse button, or you can set it as a hot corner.
this is like gamer-forum mentality rebuttals here, "ONE BUTAN MOUSE"
lol must be a while since you've used osx.
I've got both PC & Mac and Mac is streets ahead.
-God- said:
I have a MBP and Win7 on my desktop. Nickycakes is right - Win7 is really great. I can't see myself switching to osx / windows exclusively as some programs are exclusive to one OS and not the other. I don't think either is a poor choice, but I like the design of OSX a little more than Win7.
Whatever you buy, get a sweet deal and buy it on a credit card to add time to the warranty and hopefully get some % cash back.
You likes games and you likez NOT to be part of clone sheepz iTard armies in their closed closet garden?
Then you get a fucking CLEVO(sager) gaming laptop for cheaper than those crapbooks and be a fucking baller with a computer that can do whatever you like.
