sigh .. Linux has a special place in my heart, but I need to actually do stuff with my PC, I have games to run and programs to use that Linux either needs to be hacked to do, or just cannot.

I love Linux, but I am most definitely a PC.

Well I have a mac so I can be a PC and a Mac! ;)

Ever heard of the term "Hackintosh"?

I can be whatever I want on a PC, but you can only run Windows .. on top of the Mac OS (Boot Camp).

SO THERE!

Lol, nice. There's a bunch of these videos.

I guess I'll be the guy to say I think both are decent, they both have there quirks. The one thing I hate about macs though is they are marketing that macs don't crash, don't get viruses, and are better for media applications. When in reality, they do crash/freeze/hang (even the new ones), they can get viruses they just own such a small percentage of the market no one wants to write any for them YET (plus they don't have any protection ex. firewall, anti-virus and spyware software), and all the media applications they promote are already on windows.

Woops I like to rant. I would definitely take a pc over a mac but I don't think either are terrible. I'm feel bad for mac users when all these issues pop up and they're kicking themselves in the butt for spending twice as much.

I don't want to turn this into a Mac/PC debate, both have pros and cons. But I guarantee you there are people trying to write viruses for Macs. They've built themselves up to be so virus proof, that the holy grail for someone writing viruses would be to infect a mac.

Which also means the viruses have to be much more complex and even more difficult to delete or fix.

Yeah, gaming on the Mac doesn't suck, its virtually non existent. Oh well, that's why I have an Xbox and Wii.

Not at all - most *nix virii tend to be much simpler in implementation because they have to act upon a specific version of a service, library or application to exploit. The last one I remember seeing in the wild that had a decent rate of propagation was due to an openssl exploit that was externally exposed via Apache's SSL module - which was also extremely easy to clean once you were aware you'd been infected.

The problem with windows is that it's core libraries are full of exploits, and thus every application or service that is based upon these core libraries themselves become security risks. Combined with the general apathy and lack of understanding as to how to keep systems properly maintained and updated, and you end up with tens of millions of zombies nodes being infected, reinfected, and actively seeking out others to infect.

I am a Ubuntu and PC user. I prefer ubuntu 9 out of 10 times, but programs I use dont run on *nix and its sucks having to load windows in ubuntu to do a few things.

Cool video

I use OSX, XP, and Ubuntu and have uses for them all. Most of the time I use my mac for internet browsing and such.

two words... Snow Leopard :D

My last computer was an hp laptop running vista. Had it for little over a year and then the motherboard literally fried. Bought a MacBook (right before they released the new ones :tears:) and have never looked back

YouTube - Snow Leopard + SxS = Epic Fail (NOW FIXED!)
