Meh, I don't have too much against microglitch-errr...soft. I haven't had many problems yet, and despite it being a large corporation, I can't say they've done to much in the wrong. Correct me if you will :D

Vista back word compatibly removed making 90% of computer owners buy hole new computers to just upgrade o and soft ware adding to the landfills that help with global worming.

They riped of mac like theirs no tomorrow which is not wrong but very unethical the way they did it.

They do back dore meading with the goverment to chages laws.

There a mibber of the Talaliban was invited to a Microsoft exclusives members only parry I saw the pitchers of it.

they are a monopoly that is protected by law under doable jeapordy law.

They lie to their consumers by doing the least potable in development to sell their product at the consumers expense.

I don't see why they don't wont to release the win64API/win32api unless they are scared of competition.

If they would do a bitt more fixing thare holes they would not have to make the world spend so much on tech support.

well, being designed as a console game first, they have to reconfigure the way it works for a computer controls. and there are also some aspects of console games that can't work on PC's.

Yup, I got that Bob! :D

...but back to the other topic... what company hasn't done any of those things. Mac certaintly isn't innovative, nor novel (I mention it because you seem to be rather fond of their products). They use tons of nasty chemicals in their products (as recently surfaced about the iphone), and they are also a monopoly of sorts (have you not seen speakers exclusively for i products... but not made by mac n' toss?)

Again, mac also lies to consumers: i.e. ridiculous prices for mp3 players, phones, computers. Mac products are generally not compatible with other companies soft/hard ware (until very recently).

You literally could make the same argument for really any major company... but I grow tired and want to sleep  ^-^

Umm they have do you think I am ling? 

Well if mac is not innovative why did vista rip them off so bad? I dowt it was to get antiquated tech... As for not naval um... I beg to differ their user base is growing wile PC is shrinking.

What have you ben smoking MAC IS THE Greenest on earth in the computer realm they started to sway away abit for a time bet they are fing thaat and geting back to thare green ethics.

As for the Iphone it is a sell and ALL cellls use bad cimacals but mac is a very ethical company I sheer they do what they can to keep it as clean as posable.

O and what kind of monopoly is that the bard game dose not count. Well Thats has Zero to do with apple you need to look at how makes those speakers most speekers aer made by3ed party manufacturers.

I give you that they do have their problems (Ipod to PC) but they to much more to keep those to a minim as posabule they aren't a huge company like microcrap.

When I have a problem with hard ware I have had 0 problems with getting stuff fixed fast with PC I will be glad if I don't go postal kill some one from frustration.

Dude, all comps are pc's: pc= personal computer!
...but anywho, since when as novelity been a factor of user base. If this was so, then you just proved yourself wrong! This is the way your argument reads right now: Mac is novel, therefore there user base is expanding. This is countered by the fact that every other computer in the world is not a mac (a majority, you will agree) which thus means the other computer companies must be more novel! Do you see?

I disagree with your greenest on earth argument. They use lead. They use arsenic. They used unnecessary chemicals in the Iphone that no other company used (and was recently released in a news report if you had been paying attention, no offense meant). All cells do use "bad chemicals", but some worse than others, and the Iphone would be one that uses much worse chemicals. I do not believe that Apple is very ethical, as it is a company. The profit margin matters more than anything else, and that is why their products are assembled in other 3rd world countries at a huge profit, and why their products are grossly overpriced compared to their use.

With the speakers, my point is that these companies made deals with Apple to manufacture products that exclusively cater to the ipod, and do NOT accept any other products (they won't work with sansa, dell dj, zune... the list goes on). This is a form of monopolization, albeit more subtly.

So here (I give you that they do have their problems (Ipod to PC) but they to much more to keep those to a minim as posabule they aren't a huge company like microcrap.) you are saying that the reason Apple is good is because they are small, and the reason Microsoft is bad is because they are big? If this is the case, and Apple indeed surpasses Microsoft... then wouldn't the reverse occur? I also notice you haven't said anything about any other company... say Acer, Asus, HP... all the other competitors which are almost as big as Microsoft, or bigger.

... but no need to get mad at me for this, I just find it difficult to make such generalizations (although I do occasionally). I should in fact say that Mac is innovative at times and novel as well, but so are all the other companies too. :thumbsup:

The definition changed look it up awhile back PC is only use to describe windows computers! ...but anywho,

The bigger a novelty the more people will wont it.

Prove how wrong?

I see it as naval becose they came out with new innovative technology make it uneak their for naval. Lets not debate semantics I rather talk about PC/mac.

Mac echo policy Mac Rumors: Greenpeace Rates Apple 4th Worst Eco-Friendly Tech Business, Apple Responds
As I sad lately computers have not bean as eco frindly but they are changeling. The envierment had bean one of apples basic ideas They have admitted thare latested modales have not bean as clean but they wont to chage. I remiber a adicale apple hilted about their echo problem about a year ago.

Well PC files wont run on a mac I think its a small drop in the bucket compared to the Microsoft company keeping their format.. PLus if you have lisaned to steeve jobs he has said that the music industry is on him like a pack of bees to keep his music safe.

Hows mad I am a agreeive debater. I feel pashonitly/persanoly about this.

I just assumed you were mad (but that makes an arse out of you and me...) because of your statement "What have you ben smoking ". Guess I just misread you :D

Still don't know about that definition, since many sites and dictionaries agree with both of us :lol: (about the PC)
I don't quite understand this statement, could you clarify? "The bigger a novelty the more people will wont it. " I am not quite sure what you are trying to prove...

Files not running on the Mac is true... but the reverse is also correct. I believe there will be more compatibility when the newest version of Windows is released in a year(?) from now.

I would prefer not to debate symantics, but in actuality, the only major difference between computers now-a-days are the little things. Seeing that you ignored most of my points that were not based on semantics, what would you like to debate about between PC/Mac?

But I mac would be perfectly  happy to let PC run their apps but PC has more to loss. Pluse if it only gos one way that would not be fare it would give a advantage to the compaction. If it ran both ways it would be even and it would come down to the qulaty of the OS rung the  apps not vis-versa.

Most of your point where not a few in resent poster were tho. (Basted on semantics PC means mac and IMB compads or meads just IBMs compads.)

As for bob - Apple - Get a Mac - Watch The TV Ads

Or you could just watch this one YouTube - South Park Mac vs. PC

...I'm really sorry about this Ewm, but I kind of didin't understand this "Most of your point where not a few in resent poster were tho. (Basted on semantics PC means mac and IMB compads or meads just IBMs compads.)"

Could you by any chance clarify the English and grammer (this is by no means meant to be offensive)?

I just heard that Microsoft ass just got kicked in the EU They have bean labeled a monopliy So that mean many things INCLUDING shearing  their technology with rivals Ya Mac.

My pont was lost under that devertion "semantics" I was stateing that mac cars about the interment. Mac is a compny I trust yes they have had bumps such as Ipod parts being made in swet shot as soon as it was pointed out mac took responsibility and fix the problem.
I am worried about the the cerint problem this echo sisativaty ut they have promested to fix it with the next gen of tech and I have no reson to thing they are not telling the truth.

Gotcha... but where's the debate: it seems we agree with eachother for the most part.  :ermm:
Although I am a bit less optimistic about whether Mac will fix environmental problems and other issues immediately... I think it is more reasonable to say that when it becomes unprofitable (or looks like it might), the company will change.

They have and if their is a problem mac tech support is grate not one complent about them.

One fetcher I love in mac is the ability to reinstall its self. You remove a cuppale files and you just watch as the OS rebuilds its self its amazing. The problem with the lack of games witch I am guessing you are talking about is lack of games.. Mac has fixed the problem on its end its time for the soft ware complains to step up. its a catch 22 if more people how play video games have macs they will make more mac games BUT "gamers" wont buy a product that dose not have a huge library to choice from. I for one took the dive for work and for as a protest/take one for the team.

Apple - A Greener Apple

They are rethinking every thing you have to give them credit for a company fitting a company like microsoft and being the most environmentally friendly computer out thare is not easy.
