Apple Computers are Best!

Ranked #7,081 in Computers & Electronics, #148,587 overall

Why Apple Computers are better than Microsoft systems.

It is time to buy another Mac. I have suffered with my Windows XP system for the past year, and I am tired of all of the problems ( security, memory errors, slow response, etc.) with this operating system and hardware. I now use a Mac-Mini as my main desktop platform. Yeah!

I have had to support Windows and Macs at both work and at home, and the Macs are more intuitive to use, more secure and do not crash like the Windows boxes.

Protect your Mac and its data.

There are free anti-virus tools available for Mac OS X

Sophos Free Anti Virus for Mac.: Be sure you are using an anti-virus product on your Mac and stay safe. Mac applications are the biggest risk from a virus perspective.
PREY: Prey is an open source solution to track your hardware in case it is stolen.
I-AntiVirus: Another tool I use on my macs.

Why Macs are Better than PCs!

Overall, I think I left Mac because I have to provide more support to Windows users and using a windows system would give me more experience. Unfortunately, it also gave me all of the pain of having to rely on the Windows Operating system to accomplish work.

Dr. Mac's Opinion: Dr. Mac's Opinion on why Macs are better.
Thomas Hawk's Experience: Read the experience others have had making the switch.
Macs are more secure: Mac OS X is more secure that Windows XP, will Vista be any better?
OS X vs. Vista: "While Vista is indeed a major update to Windows, there's a lot of it that is, quite frankly, just Microsoft making up for lost time. The last non-server release of Windows was in 2001 with Windows XP, with only a single major interim update in Service Pack 2. In the same time, Apple has been steadily releasing updates to Mac OS X on what was a yearly schedule, now around every 18 months."
