I hate vista, so does anyone know how good mac books are?

Replies anonomouse Posted at 12:10 am on June 21, 2008 If you don't know how to reinstall your OS or get rid of the viruses, I would strongly recommend a MacBook. Don't get the MacBook Air because it's slow, but the MacBook and the MacBook Pro are very good laptops. They may seem a bit pricey, but, believe me, Apple's computers are about the same price as any other equally equipped computer/laptop. With a Mac, you won't have to worry about viruses and they are super-simple to use (it's made so you can't mess it up). The newest Mac OS, Leopard, has been called the best operating system "for the vast majority of consumers. (PC Magazine)" Post back what you get! espresso8097 Posted at 6:57 pm on June 20, 2008 Reinstall your fucking operating system after backing up important files.  You most likely have a Windows COA sticker somewhere on the case and a Windows/branded reconfiguration disc.  Not hard and costs nothing to fix, only at most a few hours to install and configure which is not hard, it walks you through it. You should not be allowed to be near computers.   UltimaTaz Posted at 2:56 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from bassguitarplayer2010 at 5:55 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from UltimaTaz at 2:52 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from bassguitarplayer2010 at 5:50 pm on June 20, 2008 Basiclly it was vista that ate away my anti-virus software and when that happened everything just went to hell and Limewire made it tens times worse, and mac is the only laptop I can find cheap hell at Dell for an xp laptop it starts at 2,000.    You do realize you can't get viruses from Limewire unless you download Executable files(and that doesn't always happen!) or obviously idiotic songs? Simply having it doesn't give you viruses. I've used it for 3 years, with a library of over 200 songs and I've been virus free.    http://free.grisoft.com/    Use this, it helps. I dont care if you believe me, Limewire is bullshit, it gave me 4 viruses, and dozens of cookies and spyware crap, it is shot to shit and Im not gonna spend more of getting it fixed than to buy a laptop for cheaper price, not why in the hell did this come up instead of being mature and telling me of how gret mac is? ...You obviously have little to no computer knowledge. Go ahead and buy your mac, but donate your computer to a good home. bassguitarplayer2010 Posted at 2:55 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from UltimaTaz at 2:52 pm on June 20, 2008 Quote: from bassguitarplayer2010 at 5:50 pm on June 20, 2008 Basiclly it was vista that ate away my anti-virus software and when that happened everything just went to hell and Limewire made it tens times worse, and mac is the only laptop I can find cheap hell at Dell for an xp laptop it starts at 2,000.

Well it would cost more cash to get it fixed,  anyways it was a desktop and I need a laptop cause I move around alot.   Because of 4 viruses? What were you downloading? Child Porn and Snuff films? It wasnt me it was my sister who put that shit on there, she downloaded like 200 songs from unsave areas, I was using it for 2 things gaming and school, and to take it in would cost it alot more so I say fuck it and get a laptop, I need one anyway. Why do you need to take it in for 4 viruses? If you know you HAVE 4 viruses, you should have a virus scanner which would get rid of em.
