[QUOTE="ErikJenkins1187, post: 717533, member: 65110"] I'm new here and new to OWNING a Mac, I have used them on and off since the late 90's in recording studios. Here is my 2 cents on Macs and PCs... Each one has there own place in the world, Microsoft makes some FANTASTIC business productivity software, which is why my Mac has Office 2008 on it instead of iWork. From the OS point of view, I think if Microsoft would get on board with making an OS with a Unix heart that you could port freeware applications to, and have Unix dummy proof security, they would be making steps in the right direction. Macs have the BEST creativity software options out there, they care about the quality of the LCDs for guys who do Photo or graphics work, they have nice audio cards and lots of FW ports for audio engineers, and they usually won't brick out a legacy platform when updating an OS unless it's REALLY old. The machines just tend to chug away without much drama, switching if you have used a Linux distro is relatively painless, installing software is easy (the major difference between a Linux/Unix distro and OS X is this simple feature), removing software is easy, and now you can run Windows if you want, what more can a geek ask for?
