Please help me. I need everyone to list reasons why Macs suck. Also, say if you think a Mac or Windows XP Professional is better in the poll.

It has nothing to do with Mac -vs- XP. It's Mac -vs- PC.

Well my dad can't do -blam!- with graphics or coding, he just wants one for media and MSN messenger. And games.

my friend got a mac and sold it about a week later, cos not many people have them. she could do much with it on-line as it wasn't compatable for most things.

My advice: dont let him do it!!! Windows XP is the way of the future. plus you can get all the upgrades you want!

get a mac and download [url href=http://www.adiumx.com] adium [/url]. Then tell your dad to leave the gaming for the Xbox. Or just run linux on your Xbox and get rid of the computer entirely.

Well honestly, he goes on and on about how it does everything this and everything that. But I'm trying to tell him that he should buy the cheaper Windows.

You could do like my family does. We have an XP as our main computer and a Mac labtop. THey're both pretty good, but I'm definitly more of a windows fan.

Window's is such a bad OS, I'd take a mac any day... Plus you are a lot safer on a mac, and apparently people don't know where to look for Windows programs ported to Mac...

Mac? They dont even have two buttons on their mouse. But if he works in a school i'd say Get it! The macs in my school suddenly crashed a few months ago. It erased everybody's grades. It was awesome. They owned a few microsoft computers and they were still going strong, It was Hilarious.

but then again a lot of games are on the PC while not being on the mac. i just like windows because thats what i grew up on and its just easier to get pretty much any PC game i want since they pretty much all are on PC's. then again, the Mac is good when it comes to html, graphics design, stuff like that

A computer is a computer! Who cares? They all do the same -blam!- in the end, anyway (that being work, collect love from you, start to break down, then collect hate). Ya win some, ya lose some... deal with it.

well it actually does matter in the end becasue both win xp and mac suck. Especally with the Sp2 installed. It created security holes and all that crap. I am running win 98 2nd edition and i have never got 1 virus.
