OK, Ill clear everything up for you morons....

1. All you Mac haters can kiss my ass, You ask Why?? PSSST, Ill tell you
a. All Vista is doing is copying off of OSX Tiger, and Tiger is being upgraded to Leopard before Vista will even come out, so Vista will already be outdated
b. Ha, Macintosh DOESN"T HAVE ONE OFFICIALLY KNOWN VIRUS. How many does Windows have? thousands and thousands
c. "Ha, Windows are LIKE so much cheaper dude!!" Yes, you are correct upto a limited point. The reason why Windows computers are cheaper and more developer friendly are b/c they shop around for different brand components, which makes the machine overall cheaper. However, this is the reason why viruses, _ware, and low copmuter life occur in Windows Machines. However, Mac's are overall more pricey, but they also last a crap load longer and egronomic and more pleasurable to use. And, APPLE MAKES IT OWN PRODUCTS, so you know they will last for a looooong time.
d. "MAN, DUDE, THERE IS LIKE NOOOO GAMES FOR MAC DUDE!!!" Ok, your point is... Yes, I whole heartedly agree. BUT, NOW YOU CAN DOUBLE BOOT WINDOWS AND MAC! SHOW ME HOW YOU CAN DOUBLE BOOT ON YOUR WINDOWS MACHINE DUMB ONE! So, you can get the best of "both worlds." Well, the Mac world is Earth, while Windows is like Planet X.
e. I saw someone say , "THE COMMERCIALS PUT WINDOWS DOWN!" OK, retard, thats called TRUE advertising. Face it, except for the fact that 3rd Party Support Is Inadequate for Mac, everything else is superior to Windows. The new commercials portray it well. And all the things they say are VERY TRUE
f. "Screw you man, there are like soooo many more apps for Windows dork!" No, you are terribley wrong. You can DOWNLOAD POSSIBLY VIRUS/_SPYWARE FILLED THIRD PARTY APPS. All you get ou of the box is a clock, solitare, (exc. XP Professional) the awful Word Processor thing, some TRIAL SOFTWARE, AND THATS IT! What do you get out of the box with a Mac? You get iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, iTunes), some quality beginner games, Dashboard (which has yellowpages, dictionaries, FLIGHT TRACKERS, and a million other neat things that you can get from Apple.com. ALL THESE THINGS WERE MADE FOR MAC, NOT 3rd PARTY SOFTWARE. 3rd Party Software=viruses
g. "YO, I DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY. YOUR JUST A -blam!-IN NERD!" -or- "I Dont care what you say, Windows is still LIKE so much better MAN?DUDE!" Ok. well your obviously just illiterate. I myself use Windows machines ALL THE TIME. So dont give me shiite that I'm a nerd or that I am a biased b*tch. Your the bias one. You are the nerd, b/c you have to find pathetic reasons why Windows is superior to Mac. It just isnt. AND THE *SS THAT STEREO TYPED MAC USERS, All I say is your the dumb *ss in this situation for stereo typing a person by what type of OPERATING SYSTEM some1 uses. And, for the 2nd quote, then I dont care, think what you want and keep using Windows just b/c every1 else is. Your the people I honestly could careless about b/c your the common delinquants of our world today/tomorrow, and you've obviously been brain washed from Bill Gates. I could go on to such subjects as superior networking, egronomics, etc, but I actually have a life.

As for Halo CE, its complete crap. People always tell me that there are absolutely none traffic on it, so I personally don't miss it one bit.

And all you ppl that are saying "All you are trying to do is protect this pathetic guy." Absolutely not, I sorta agree that this dude is retarded for arguing about CE FOR MAC!!!XD I just have a real problem with anti-Mac people. And I enjoy proving to them that they are pathetic hypocrites. Honestly, the only thing positive about a Windows machine compared to a Mac is its superior third party support, which LEADS TO ITS MAJOR DOWNFALL! And I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO ARGUE WITH WHAT I SAID, TY AND GOOD BYE

PS: I DO use Windows, IN FACT, I use them ALL THE TIME FOR SCHOOL (Im 15, so dont give me shiite like "Oh no, another minor on the boards..." Oh, to end, how about the worst OS ever, Windows ME! HA WHAT A JOKE!

Holy crap, thank you! You are a genius! Everything you said is true! Those are the points I try to prove to people, but they just don't -blam!-ing listen! And there's more to iLife than what you mentioned. Don't forget Garageband, and iWeb! Think about it! The Mac is so simple. You take it out of the box, plug it in, which is generally one or two cords you have to plug in, turn it on, and you're ready. Right out of the box you can make a movie, listen to music, make music, make a DVD, edit your photos, and even make webpages! It's so simple!

Ok, 1st off, I wasn't bumping, I was googling to see if Halo CE was available for Mac, and I came across this thread which I felt I needed to reply to.

2nd, wtf ar us saying K121. I wasn't flaming, I was simply clearing up all the biasy between Mac and Windows. And, I used CAPS to EMPHASIZE. Im sorry if you are illiterate. lastly, how would I get banned, I cesored my cussing, and I wasn't abusing any1 or anything in my post, so please go back to school.

Ok. Mattbluhalofan or whatever the hell your name is: He was NOT talking to you!

To Ditka: You'r post just lost nearly all it's credibility when you said you were 15. That is it lost what little credibility it had after all that needless capitalizing and -blam!-ing. All those capitals are completely useless. It makes you sound like well, a 15 year old with tourrettes. Try Italics! They're much better for emphasizing a point. And you claim to say you hate mac-haters. That whole spiel came off as somewhat hypocrytical seeing as you hate mac-bashers and you end up bashing windows.

In regards to your above post: You didn't "clear" anything up. it's just another pointless arguement in a pointless topic that should have died a Long time ago!

Alright, Ill end by saying I did come off sort of hypocritical. However, I have no tolerance for Mac bashers, and I will put them to shame when I need to. Your one of only civilized people that posted in this thread, and yes, I am 15, but I know more about Operating Systems than many will ever know

Hell, I'm 15. I use my PC all the time. I haven't ever had a virus, and every few weeks or so I might run a spyware check and get rid of the 2 or 3 pieces of spyware I might have. I don't hate Macs, I just hate how arrogant their users are, saying how Macs are superior in every way, when I personally think they are a waste.

I've never used a Mac, but from what I hear, they are very stable, easy to use systems. That's good and all, but I have a word to say. A word that makes a lot of the advantages of Macs become worthless. And that word is "upgrades".

My father recently swapped out and upgraded my hard drive from 160GB to 250GB, my video card from a 6800 GT-something to an X800 XL, my CPU from 3GHz 32-bit to 3.2 GHz 64-bit, and he got me a copy of Windows XP Proffesional x64 which takes advantage of 64-bit processors. He also swapped out my wireless network card because it was broken and it wasn't compatible with x64 anyway, but that's beside the point. My point is, that whole upgrade cost just about nothing. I don't think that kind of upgrade would be that cheap or easy to do on a Mac.

Lastly, what are you talking about "low copmuter life"? My computer hasn't crashed at all this year, I haven't ever had a problem with it crashing too frequently before anyway, and I leave it on all the time, if that's what you're referring too.

A bear isn't a jungle cat. And also think about it. Two viruses. TWO. In the 22 years Macs have been around, and there's only two reported viruses, that don't even do much! I'd say that's a pretty safe bet.

Umm dude. He didn't specify an opinion on Mac's. In fact he specifically said he has no problem with mac's. Only the arrogant mac users who think mac's are the greatest thing since the vaccuum tube.

Guess what, No One Cares! The windows vs. mac debate is as pointless as a star wars vs. star trek debate. It's a matter of personal preference.

"Lions and Tigers and Bears.. Oh my!" is a line from the Wizard of OZ... a movie just as silly as Apples OS names– that's the connection. I know bears are not cats.

OS X has not been around 22 years. Prior Mac operating systems had lots of viruses. Not as many as PC's, but lots more than 2.

I'm a Macuser– look at the system specs in my sig. I hate PCs, but you're not going to "convert" anyone here, so stop the Macevangelizing.

Macs are great. Only problem, they're shortchanged. If there's an awesome game made for PC, it's rarely made for the Mac. And in Halo's case, it's the Custom Edition. Halo was made for BOTH systems, so why not make the upgrade for BOTH SYSTEMS?! All you Mac men out there join me! MAKE HALO CUSTOM EDITION FOR MAC!!!


For starters, Halo CE uses slightly modified versions of the tools Bungie used to create the original Xbox game. Among these are the tools that exported information from 3d Studio Max.

Unless I'm mistaken, 3d Studio Max is (also) a PC-specific program.

If making a Halo CE port for the Mac were feasible, Westlake would've done it.

That makes it sound like either OS X has been around 22 years or that prior operating systems had no viruses and these 2 are the first. Either way, wrong.

Wow, this topic has gone so off topic that its hilarious. As for the upgrading aspect for Mac's, compared to the ease for Windows, I agree. However, your making it sound as though it is nearly impossible. Especially on G5 iMacs, all you hae to do is open the shell and either slita new piece of memory in or even a graphics card. The easiest would be the G5 Power Mac, b/c you just have to open the tower. To add, there is usually no reason to replace or add in a Mac, b/c with a Mac, nothing usually "just stops working." Its all made by Apple, so it all just "works".

  • 07.21.2006 7:36 AM PDT

Also? There's a differnece between "clarfication," and "evangelical idiocy." Ditka crossed that line.

1, a. wtf are you talking about? Are you saying that Vista looks like Tiger, and as such the entire OS is merely a copy of Tiger? Sound's like you're just being a fanboi and not actually comparing the technologies backing the two OS's.

1, b. Don't be stupid. There are viruses, trojans and worms for the Mac just as there are for the PC. Just because you don't know about them doesn't mean "they're unknown."

1, c. Having a monopoly over hardware production doesn't guarantee a superior product to the consumer, just a more expensive one. And by the way? Apple didn't actually make many of the products in your machine. Your video card is most likely NVIDIA. Your hard drive, Hitachi, or perhaps Seagate. Your built in bluetooth device may have been designed by Motorola. Hell, if you have a new Mac, your processor is an Intel. The best part about this is that many of the components that make your computer are PC compatible, because Apple lost a lot of money trying to make their hardware completely proprietary. In other words, your Mac is just as much a hodge podge as any PC.

This is not the reason there are fewer recorded virus-related incidents on Macs. That blame can be placed squarely on userbase. In other words, the Mac user base is so much smaller than the PC user base that when there are Mac outbreaks, they're ridiculously smaller than a PC outbreak. So why, then, would someone writing a virus actually care to target the Mac users? That's like ordering a $70 sausage patty when you can get a $5 steak that's twice as good and ten times as large.

1, d. You know, it doesn't make your arguments look any better when you basically say "Yeah, the Mac doesn't have any games, but GUESS WHAT, I'll just play games on a PC!" You didn't think that one through. Yes, you can dual boot the Intel Macs, but being able to switch to a PC doesn't suddenly mean that your MacOS is bereft of software or third party support.

1, e. Might want to get a bucket for all that fanboi drool. "Face it, except for the fact that 3rd Party Support Is Inadequate for Mac, everything else is superior to Windows" is like saying "Face it, except for the temperatures constantly being below 60 degrees, Antartica is the best beachfront property in the world."

1, f. I like how you take stabs at Vista in some of your points, and then conveniently forget to mention features included with Vista in points like these.

And guess what, dingus? You can, in fact, get a virus on your Mac by downloading software as well. That doesn't change the fact that there's far, far less software available, making PCs better suited for a larger gamut of tasks. Hope you like making home videos- you won't be doing much else unless you're willing to shell out some dough.

1, g. I have both a Mac and a PC at home. I've used both professionally. Given your age, I'm going to guess I've used them both a whole helluva lot more than you have, and for far more pratical or technical reasons. You're attacking PC users as having "pathetic" and "stereotypical" reasons for preferring their platform, but the best you can come up with is "MacOS looks good and Macs come with some free software."

You've pretty much admitted that Apple's third party support is third rate, but you don't seem to realize what the impact that has on a platform. You've made it fairly clear you don't know what you're talking about. Please save the fanboi spew for other fanbois. Those of us that have an understanding of the differences between the platforms get headaches reading drivel like this.

ROFL! I just read this thread from front to back and haven't laughed this much in a long time. Let's review the finer points of this thread.

This thread is about 400 degrees and they're several burnt bodies and people rolling on the ground trying to douse the flames. It's been a while since I have seen a good PC vs Mac flame war.

The longest post in here, the one Shiska just disected( i love when he digs into ppl), is the largest single thread entirely filled with BS that I have ever encountered on these forums. That thing took some wild imagination and maybe some narcotics to put together.

I believe that is the first double postacular as long as I have been in here. That was a piece of artwork and I hope to take a screenshot of that if I can fit it on one page. Shiska had to miss that one otherwise the original poster would have been assassinated on the spot.

I'm a little surprised Shiska didn't lock thread, unless he felt this discussion had merit. Most PC vs. Mac discussions don't. Not trying to tell him how to do his job mind you.

Thanks for the laugh guys, this was precious

No it doesn't! I never said OS X was out for 22 years, I said the MAC was.

Look, just watch their new commercials.
