Mac OSX is pretty good but absolutely does not compare to the Windows task-bar oriented computing. And of course, you can press certain buttons to make certain things come forward or whatever, but the Mac experience is no where as personable, and satisfying as Windows. And I've used both, fairly extensively. On the other hand, Windows needs to stop bundling stupid shit, and work on satisfying the consumer, rather than trying to promote their SHITTY media player, and file formats.

Easily. luvi3dov3y Posted at 11:29 pm on Dec. 11, 2007 windows ftw rdsxnpatsfan Posted at 9:38 pm on Dec. 11, 2007 i <3 macs.

Just the fact that you need a trillion codecs to run a simple video. I've never had many problems... but that's only because MS has the power to mass market WMP, and thusly, people begin using it. Now that people use it widely enough, I rarely come in contact with a condec I don't have. I don't downloda too many movies though, so that would be it.

For the most part. God of Immorality Posted at 9:19 pm on Dec. 11, 2007 Quote: from Khadgar at 9:17 pm on Dec. 11, 2007 Well, everyone bundles shit with their product. I mean, think of it this way.
