[QUOTE="ByzantineRemnant, post: 180376, member: 7913"] Well, you all are definetly arguing the XP-OSX debate. Id like to touch on something I saw brought up that just isnt accurate. iPods are actually a much better deal than their competititors, have any of you ever looked at the prices for a creative labs mp3 player? You get about 1/2 the storage for %20 less in price, that is not a good deal in my opinion. Also, I am curious to this notion that PC's are much cheaper. I recently tried to build a comporable Computer to the iMac on Dell's site, and the end result was not as feature robust, and cost more. Not to mention the need for additional anti virus software, and the form factor. Plus, the whole process on their website is incredibly tedious. I encourage anyone to attempt to build something that can compete with the "20 iMac on Dell's site, you'll see that I speak the truth. I chose Dell for they are the largest PC manufacturer, and they offer a student discount(which sucks btw). Apple is a well run company, and increasing its profits every year for a reason. They can strike a chord with customers who are just open minded enough to try it. I took the plunge, a $1000 gamble on an iBook over a year ago, and I have not looked back. Every time I get back on Windows, I am reminded why I think OSX is better. Its easier, I am far more productive on my Mac then I ever was on my PC. Ultimately this is going to be a biased debate, for we are on MAC FORUMS. That being said however, I think its nice to have some diversity in our members and some different thoughts. One last thing, the reason why Apple doesnt have the same problems as Windows with spyware or viruses is the fact that they have a 3% market share.
