Apple vs. Microsoft
Apple or Windows?
0
I'm just curious.
P.S.
I don't know how to change the poll.
Instead of Windows, please read Microsoft.
Just think of w-i-n-d-o-w-s as some weird alternative way to spell Microsoft.

You're curious about what specifically?I'm a curious person in general.
And I'm curious what the people on Fakku! choose, if they can choose between Apple or Windows.

Mac is a overprice pc with less stock in it... plus i didn't paid for my mac since i just took it from being crushed and trash bined.... in my field of work mac is the standard since it great for graphics art and photography... and my pc can't run my printers well.

Windows is an Operating System. Apple is a multinational corporation. Why the fuck are you comparing the two?
It would make much more sense if you're comparing Microsoft vs Apple or Windows vs Mac OS.

I guess I would prefer apple but am stuck with windows. I can't run an apple....most of my PC games aren't apple freindly, and while I hate bill gates and Microsoft with a burning passion, I'm stuck with em....I'd much rather have an apple but they still don't have enough power for all of my games....getting better with the newest OS though, maybe soon. until apple gets enough power to handle guild wars 2 when it hits, and they make a compatible version of my games I'm stuck with my Windows system though

I did try to get the same components where possible, but.. i got better ones a lot of the time, and derped it out. Hi5 for me to proving mac is overpriced. ;D

I think I need a cigarette, the post above gave me a nerdgasm.
I've always wanted someone to do that (I'm not even being sarcastic).

Microsoft mainly because of the Windows OS I play a ton of video games for PC and many of releases aren't good on Macs.
Plus, I'm not a fan of Apple Products in the slightest. (Ipods, Ipads, I(whatevers)) simply don't appeal to me.

I guess Windows b/c it's what I'm used to. I've used macs before, but I can't vouch for them since I haven't given enough time to get used to it and learn the parts I could enjoy.

Games and price. I'm going to end up using Macs all the damn time though, so I can't dislike them too much. The interface has always seemed unnatural, but I imagine you get used to it. The mouse is awful though, and the elitist culture...I imagine that as Apple are forced to open up their systems and lower prices, things will improve.
