[QUOTE="budafied, post: 679020, member: 52583"] Hey guys, I'm debating going Mac or PC in fall of 2009 for whichever grad school I end up going to. My decision will be easy if one campus requires PCs (like some law schools). But anyways, i've been a PC user for all my life, and I'm recently becoming more interested in macs due to Leopard and the dual boot XP option. I've heard that Macs are less customizable than PCs. For instance, my boss was using iMovie and could not change many aspects of the movie that are easily changed in Movie Maker on windows. She described it as "doing everything on its own and somewhat against her will." Can anybody comment on this? Is Windows better as far as options on programs go? I know a Mac is supposed to "just work" and be "intuitive," but I wanna make sure there is enough freedom. I've used Leopard a little at work when teachers/administration at my colelge buy new macs. I've worked with them enough to get a gist of it, but not too much fooling around besides internet, office, etc. [/QUOTE]
