Quote - You barely see Mac people bashing on PCs

 

My personal experience is quite different. Most PC users I know (which means most of my colleagues and students) have a practical viewpoint: they use a PC for the software that they can acquire for PC, and wouldn't mind using a Mac for something that Mac shines at.

For example, we use 3D Studio Max at school for modeling. PC version.Because that's the most used 3D app in the game development world.  But we also use Final Cut Pro (Mac only) for video editing. Because that's the program that's used most in the professional film industry.

Bashing is ONLY done by a few Mac users - or should I say Mac lovers? Out of the 15 or so Mac users in my work environment, 5 have the same viewpoint as the PC users - they use what suits their work best. The others are "cultists"

Personally, I prefer PCs. Because I can build them to my own specs, I can fix them myself when something goes wrong, and because the OS suits my taste better. (On a side note, this is one of the main reasons I don't like Vista. Too much like Mac OS).

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
