Okay, XV ... now I see what you're insinuating. Yea Macs, lead the way into the 21st century with ONE mouse button and 15" displays! I was a Mission Support Specialist from 1994-1998 at NASA (Goddard Space Flight Center) and my job was basically computer and network guru. I used both PCs and Macs EXTENSIVLEY. After that I did contract work as a computer consultant in which I ended up using Macs most of the time. I'm not saying all things are bad about Macs ... not at all ... but the notion that Macs somehow have better software and are just a better, more advanced user-friendly system is absolutely absurd. The functionaity of a Windows PC is lightyears ahead Mac. Let's talk about ease of use/productivity ... it's the main reason I choose PC over Mac. I can run circles around Mac users because of the downright STUPID implementations Apple has (LIKE A SINGLE MOUSE BUTTON ... what a joke!!) or lack of shortcuts ... like MINIZIME ALL WINDOWS as just ONE of DOZENS of examples. The overall ease of controlling windows/items in Windows in vastly superior to that of a Mac. After using a Windows based machine Mac's feel cumbersome and are incredibly frustrating to use. Quite the opposite of the misnomer proliferated by Mac commercials and Mac users. Also, "Think Different" ... should be "Think Bassakwards" Also, I'm not aware of ANY good software that is available for the Mac that isn't available for the PC. Now for the converse, I could present you with a LONG LIST. Can we say MIMIC? The list of games is equally, if not more, endless. Now that I have multimedia and video-post production company, I'm amazed at the incredulity of Mac users who just can't believe I only work with PCs. Like it must be impossible to use After Effects and do ANY kind of graphics on a PC. I just tell them, yeah ... I can do everything a Mac can ... and more. I can do it FASTER, and do it a LOT CHEAPER. Some of them do (thankfully) see the light when I present them with the bill and the excellent work.
