If Windows on a PC runs slow, will it perform same way on Mac?

[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 951364, member: 8287"] I have a friend who uses Carbonite to back up his Dell Laptop that he takes with him on the job as a construction Engineer. He depends on the machine and needs to back stuff up just in case. Someone recommended Carbonite. He does his backups with it from home on Cable when he returns from work. He has complained about it many times saying very slow (which makes sense with typical internet speeds) but also complained about the people who run it for some reason. He did not seem very happy is all I know. When fixing his dell I messed with it. It worked but it took a while to back up a few new files that were on the hard drive. It was automatic as long as there was an internet connection. This friend is a pretty smart person so I take what he says about things more seriously than I do with some people I know. I really prefer just getting a Firewire (800 if possible) external hard drive and running Time Machine for automatic backups or using either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper and do the backup manually [/QUOTE]
