Apple, honestly. They've reinvented themselves these past few years, and they're constantly innovating whatever they can. Plus, they rule the music-player business with iPods.

Microsoft is just tagging along, really. They're taking all the good ideas from OSX and putting them on Vista (it's buggy and doesn't update anything besides eye candy and having to confirm three times when you want to move folders or empty the trash), and they're trying to hop on their bandwagon with the Zune (it's terrible and just a bigger modification of the Toshiba Gigabeat S).

Even though I like playing games on my PC, props goes to Apple for actually trying to make things better without copying others.

Dudez, everyone know that these thread that have Apple and Mircosoft "fighting" will destroy the forum's peacefulness.


Besides, rule's say not to make these threads for the same reason.

That's why he got kicked :P . I think it's only for a limited amount of time, though.

As long as there is no hate, these threads are good and constructive. Once people start bashing eachother or otherwise being negative, then things are bad.

I agree with Jeff. If I could afford a mac that fit my needs I would buy it because I love the smooth OS usage. I don't think I would ever by a mac desktop, and as a result i probably wouldn't buy a mac for a while since I don't need a laptop (my roomate's have a powerbook and a macbook pro, so around the apartment I can use theirs to an extent.)

Keep this thread clean, it is interesting to hear peoples preferences, and especially their reasoning.

Definitely Microsoft. I can't believe you Apple design blinkyblinky midgets.

Didn't you know that the two Steve's chose Apple because Alan Turing died of poison in an apple? They're part of a global conspiracy!

Alright, I'm kidding, I don't care as long as I can use it.

Edit: Fruit is awesome by the way.

However many threads that come up about this that seem to be caused by the rule being there for no Mac Vs. PC debates, I'm always going to love macs. And proof of that is that every time I see someone use windows I seem to hate it more… "Argh, my eyes!" seems to be the first thing I think in those situations.

Oh and it seems that this is actually an Apple Vs. Microsoft debate, in that case… I seem to have an inherent hate for Bill Copycat, enough to avoid anything made by them. Well, mostly.
