These MAC vs PC "discussions" always get so heated. lol Since some of you obviously dont know, Market Share reports are based on sales. If you have a MAC you have been using for a while and decide to go buy an Intel based machine, you just helped raise Intel's market share. If you then go buy an AMD machine, you just helped them as well.. etc etc. Your MAC was counted back when you bought it. :) So today, MACs represent about 2.6% of computer sales. "this is something i have never understood, most apps and games are written, built and desiged on mac but, the mac always get the final product last." I dont know where you get your info, but most apps and games are developed in an NT/Win2k/Unix environment. Heck, it isnt even a close race. I say buy what you want. Get what you need. But dont buy a machine the CEO of the company gets on stage and feeds you a bunch of BS about, because he knows you will buy it. Do the research. Check the numbers. Hate to sound like a PC zealot, but the latest Mac marketing campaign looks like it was built based on the knowledge that most Mac users are computer ignorant. They may as well replace the commercial with some guy saying: "Spend $1000 more on this slower system, because you are too stupid to use a computer". Do many PC users spend a lot of time under the hood? You might need to go in there from time to time, but the majority dont. Most the ones who do, do it BECAUSE THEY CAN. And by doing it, you become more informed about your system and what it does. The more informed you are, the more BS you can filter out of all the marketing BS you see on TV (from everyone, not just Mac).
